Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the remote c ontrol, this may
be due to the follow ing 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 outs ide the ve hicle ’s rece ption
ra nge (e.g. at too great a distance from
the vehicle). The remote control must be
reprogrammed. We recommend you
consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
z The system has been overloaded as a
re sult of repeated operation at short
intervals. The power supply is cut-off for
a brief period.
z Inte rference fro m high er p ow er radio
waves from other sources.
