horn CHEVROLET EPICA 2006 1.G Owners Manual

At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
•Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
•Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
•Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-4.
•If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or
a qualified technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
You can lock and
unlock your vehicle
using the remote
keyless entry system:
n(Lock/Unlock):Press this button to lock all of the
doors. If all of the doors and the trunk are closed,
the hazard lamps will flash once and the horn will
chirp to indicate that locking has occurred and the
theft-deterrent system will activate.
2-4

Press the button again to unlock all of the doors. The
hazard lamps will flash twice to indicate that unlocking
has occurred and the theft-deterrent system will
deactivate.
If the door is not opened or if the engine is not started
within 30 seconds after unlocking the doors with the
transmitter, all of the doors will automatically lock and
the theft-deterrent system will re-activate.
V(Trunk):Press and hold this button for
approximately one second to unlock the trunk. The horn
will chirp twice to indicate that the trunk is unlocked.
The LED light on the transmitter will flash when
the buttons on the transmitter are pressed.
The buttons, on the remote keyless entry transmitter,
will not operate and the theft-deterrent system will
not activate while the key is in the ignition. See
Theft-Deterrent System on page 2-14for additional
information.
Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
two transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the LED light fails to
light or if the transmitter will not work at the normal
range in any location. If you have to get close to your
vehicle before the transmitter works, it is probably
time to change the battery.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent system.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm when you lock
the doors using the key or the manual door lock.
It activates only when you use the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to LOCK and remove the key
from the ignition.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, the transmitter
will not operate the theft-deterrent system.
2. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and
the trunk.
Ensure that the windows are closed, as the system
can be activated even if the windows are open.3. Lock the door using the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The transmitter must be used to activate
the theft-deterrent system.
•The LED light on the transmitter will flash.
•All of the doors will lock.
•The hazard warning lamps will flash once and
the horn will chirp.
•The theft-deterrent mode will arm.
•The security light will flash once every second to
indicate that the theft-deterrent system is armed.
The security light is located on the top center
of the instrument panel, near the windshield.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident, do one of
the following:
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front door
using the key.
•Press the lock/unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the alarm
when a door or the trunk is opened.
If you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent system,
lock the vehicle using the key or the manual door locks.
2-14

Disarming the System
To disarm the system, do one of the following:
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front door
using the key.
•Press the lock/unlock button on the transmitter.
- The LED light on the transmitter will flash.
- All of the doors will unlock.
- The hazard warning lamps will flash twice.
- The theft-deterrent mode will disarm.
If the door is not opened or if the engine is not started
within 30 seconds after disarming the system with
the transmitter, all of the doors will automatically lock
and the theft-deterrent mode will re-arm.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If a door or the trunk is opened without using the key
or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the horn
will sound and the lamps will flash for up to 30 seconds.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be deactivated using
one of the following methods:
•Press the lock/unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front door using
the key.
Otherwise, the alarm will automatically stop after
30 seconds. The system will then lock the doors and
reactivate the theft-deterrent system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If the hazard lamps flash once when the lock/unlock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is
pressed, the theft-deterrent system alarm was activated
while you were away.

Hazard Warning Flashers
Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others.
They also let police know you have a problem. Your
front and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
The hazard warning
flasher button is located
in the center of the
instrument panel.
Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what
position your key is in, and even if the key is not in
the ignition switch.
Press the button to make the front and rear turn signal
lamps flash on and off. Press the button again to
turn the flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers are on, your turn
signals will not work.
Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set them up
at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind
your vehicle.
Horn
Press near or on the horn symbols on your steering
wheel pad to sound the horn.
Tilt Wheel
Your vehicle has a tilt wheel which allows you to adjust
the steering wheel before you drive. You can raise it
to the highest level to give your legs more room when
you exit and enter the vehicle.
The lever that allows you
to tilt the steering wheel is
located on the left side
of the steering column.
To tilt the steering wheel, hold the wheel and pull
the lever toward you. Then, move the wheel to a
comfortable position and release the lever to lock
the wheel in place.
