Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the remote c ontrol, this may
be due to the following reasons:
z The remote control is out of range .

control is too low. Change the battery in
the remote control unit.
z The remote control has been repeatedly
op erat ed outsid e the ve hicle ’s r ece ptio n
ra nge (e.g. at too great a distan ce from
the vehicle). The remote control must be
reprogrammed. We recommend you
consult your Va uxhall Authorised
Repairer.
z The system has been overloaded as a
result of re peated operation at short
inte rvals. The powe r supply is cut-off for
a brief period.
