firmly as possible on slopes.
z Push key into ignition switch before
removing (vehicles with automatic
transmission 3: depress foot brake and
shift into P before removing key). Turn
steering wheel until lock is felt to engage
(anti-theft protection).
z If the vehicle is parked on a level surface
or a hill, select 1st gear before switching
ignition off (vehicles with automatic
transmission 3: move selector lever to P).
Also turn front wheels away from kerb if
parked on an uphill slope.
If the vehicle is parked on a downhill
slope, select reverse gear before
switching ignition off (vehicles with
automatic transmission 3: move selector
lever to P). Also turn front wheels
towards kerb.
z Switch off exterior lamps, otherwise the
headlamp warning device will sound
when the driver’s door is opened.
z Cooling fans may run on after the engine
has been switched off.
z Do not park on easily ignitable surfaces
as hot exhaust system temperatures
could cause the surface to ignite.
That was the most important
information for your first drive in
your Antara in brief.
Your vehicle has still more
instruments and controls,
possibly also optional equipment.

Replacement keys
The key is a constituent of the electronic
immobiliser. In case of loss, replacement
keys can be ordered from your Opel
Partner by quoting the key number and
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Once a new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
Ordering keys from an Opel Partner
guarantees problem-free operation of the
electronic immobiliser.
Keep spare key in a safe place.
Locks - see page 205.
Car Pass
The Car Pass contains all of the vehicle’s
data and should therefore not be kept in
the vehicle.
Have your Car Pass on hand when
consulting an Opel Partner.

Note
The immobiliser does not lock the doors.
Therefore, after leaving the vehicle, always
lock it and switch on the anti-theft alarm
system 3 - see pages 25, 27.
Electronic immobiliser
The system checks whether the vehicle may
be started using the key that has been
inserted. If the key is recognised as
"authorised", the vehicle can be started.
The check is carried out via a transponder
housed in the key.
The electronic immobiliser is automatically
activated when the key is turned to LOCK
position and removed from the ignition
switch.
Control indicator
The control indicator illuminates when the
ignition is switched on, then extinguishes.
If the control indicator stays illuminated
after the ignition is switched on, there is a
fault in the immobiliser system.
z Turn key to LOCK position and remove,
z wait approximately two seconds,
z then repeat starting procedure.
If the control indicator fails to extinguish,
try to start the engine using the spare key
and seek the assistance of a workshop.

Radio frequency remote control
The remote control is used to operate:
z Central locking system,
z Mechanical anti-theft locking system 3,
z Anti-theft alarm system 3.
The remote control has a range of approx.
6 metres. The range may be reduced due
to environmental conditions or shadowing
and reflection of the radio waves.
To operate the remote control, direct the
remote control unit at the vehicle.
Treat the remote control unit with care:
it should be protected against moisture,
kept out of direct sunlight and should not
be operated unnecessarily.
Do not place heavy objects on the remote
control unit, and avoid dropping it.
The hazard warning lamps come on to
indicate that the remote control is
operational.

Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the remote control, this may
be due to the following reasons:
z The remote control is out of range.
z The battery voltage of the remote
control is too low. Change the battery in
the remote control unit.
z The remote control has been repeatedly
operated outside the vehicle’s reception
range (e.g. at too great a distance from
the vehicle). The remote control must be
reprogrammed. We recommend you
consult your Opel Partner.
z The system has been overloaded as a
result of repeated operation at short
intervals. The power supply is cut-off for
a brief period.
z Interference from higher power radio
waves from other sources.
Lock or unlock the doors manually using
the key or central locking switch see page 25.
Have cause of fault remedied by a
workshop.
Changing battery in remote control unit
Replace the battery in accordance with the
information on pages 206 to 212 or when
