.The remote control in the key

100 metres.

location and the area
between them.
.If the key buttons do not work,
move closer to the vehicle.
.Take care to ensure no button is
pressed unintentionally,
especially when the vehicle is
out of sight.
.Metallic window tint reduces the
range of the key.
.If any door or the bonnet is open
when Qis pressed, the horn will
chirp twice.
.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).
.Ensure other keys on the key
ring are not between the key and
the vehicle.
.Always store spare keys in a
safe, dry place.
.Do not disassemble the keys.
.At times, a decrease in range
may occur, which is normal.
.If the transmitter does not work:
‐You may need to stand closer
during rainy or snowy weather
‐Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal
If you are still having trouble,
contact a Holden Dealer.
.If pressing the key buttons does
not work, the doors can be
locked and unlocked by turning
the key in the driver's door lock:
‐Turn the key towards the rear
of the vehicle to lock all doors
‐Turn the key towards the front
of the vehicle to unlock the
driver's door
Opening the door will cause
activation of the alarm after a
preset period of time. If this

ignition and turn on.
