Holden Captiva owner’s, service, repair and maintenance

We thank you for choosing Holden and want to assure you of our continuing interest in your driving pleasure and satisfaction. This handbook applies to the current Captiva model. Therefore, due to different models and options, you may find reference in this Handbook to some equipment not fitted to your own vehicle.

Please note that all information, illustrations and specifications in this Handbook are based on the latest production information available at the time of printing. Holden reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation.

Matching transmitter(s) to the vehicle
Each remote keyless access transmitter is coded to the vehicle. If the vehicle’s transmitter is lost, inform a Holden Dealer immediately so the vehicle can be reprogrammed and will no longer recognise the missing transmitter. Additional transmitters also require re-coding to match the new transmitter.

Starting the vehicle with a low transmitter battery
If the transmitter battery is weak, the Driver Information Centre (DIC) may display Electronic Key Not Detected, when trying to start the vehicle.
To start the vehicle:

1. Open the storage bin. See Front cup holders on page 50.
2. Lift the mat on the base of the centre console bin.
3. Place the transmitter on the base of the centre console bin in the position shown, with the buttons facing up.
4. Place the shift lever in P (Park) or N (Neutral).
5. Press the brake pedal and rotate the ignition control knob.
6. Replace the transmitter battery as soon as possible.
