NOTES ABOUT THE kEYS
• When a button on the key is pressed, it sends a signal to the vehicle.
• The remote control in the key has a range of approximately 6 metres. The range is
dependent on the charge state of the transmitter battery and on ambient conditions
of the vehicle's location, the key's location and the area between them. If the key
buttons do not work, change your position to the vehicle and try again. Normally,
getting closer to the vehicle will solve the problem. Certain conditions also enable
ranges of more than 6 metres. Take care that no button is pressed unintentionally,
especially when the vehicle is out of sight.
• Tinting the vehicle windows reduces the range of the key if the tinting material has
a metallic film.
• The key buttons may not work if the vehicle is parked near strong radio activity,
such as under TV towers (most likely in high lookout car parks).
• 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, 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.
• If you are still having trouble, contact your Holden Dealer.
• When, for any reason, pressing the key buttons does not work, the doors can
be locked (anticlockwise) and unlocked (clockwise) by turning the key in the
driver's door lock.
• If the vehicle is delivered with only one key, notify your Holden Dealer immediately.
• Always store spare keys in a safe, dry place.
• Treat the remote control unit with care. It should be protected against moisture and
should not be operated unnecessarily.
• The buttons on the remote control do not operate while the key is in the ignition.
