battery location SATURN VUE HYBRID 2007 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 or
resynchronization is necessary. See “Battery
Replacement” and “Resynchronization”
underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 100.
If you are still having trouble, see your
Saturn retailer or authorized service provider
for service.

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
retailer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your retailer.
When the retailer matches the replacementtransmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your
retailer has coded the new transmitter, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is weak 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.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry. Static
from your body transferred to these surfaces
may damage the transmitter.
1. Use a at thin object to pry open the
transmitter.

Notice:If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Always turn off your radio and other
accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the
cigarette lighter or the accessory power outlet.
Turn off the radio and all lamps that are not
needed. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries. And it could save the radio!
4. Open each vehicle’s hood and locate the
positive (+) and negative (−) terminal
locations of the other vehicle. Your vehicle
has a remote positive (+) 12-volt jump starting
terminal and a remote negative (−) jump
starting terminal. You should always use these
remote terminals instead of the terminals on
the battery. The remote positive (+) terminal
is located under the engine cover on the
driver’s side of the engine compartment.To access the remote positive (+) terminal,
remove the engine cover by pulling up on the
cover and lifting it off the engine. Locate
the underhood fuse block and lift off cover.
The remote positive (+) terminal cover has a
red “+” on it. Remove the red rubber cap
to expose the jump start terminal.
5. The remote negative (−) terminal is located
on the generator on the passenger’s side
of the engine compartment. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on page 296for more
information on location of the positive (+)
and negative (−) terminals.
