Radio frequency remote control
The remote control is used to operate:
z Central locking system,
z Mechanical anti-theft locking system 3,
z Vauxhall alarm system 3.
The remote control has a range of approx.
6 me tres. The range may be reduce d due
to environmental cond itions or shadow ing
and reflection of the radio waves.
To opera te the remote control, direct the
remote control unit at the vehicle.
Treat the remote control unit with care:
it should be protected aga inst moisture,
kept out of direct sunlight and should not
be operated unnecessarily.
Do not place heavy objects on the remote
control unit, and a void dropping it.
The hazard warning lig hts come on to

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
op erat ed outside the ve hicle ’s r ece pti o 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 Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
z The system has been overloaded as a
result of re peated operation at short
inte rvals. The power supply is cut-off for
a brief period.
z Inte rfer en ce from h igh er p ow er radio
waves from other sources.
