Every vehicle with power door locks has a pulse lock system. \
A pulse lock
system works like this:
If the sliding door is open and you push the power door lock sw\
itch, the
sliding door will not lock immediately. After you close the do\
or, the system
comes on and, in about five seconds, locks the sliding door.
All models have overriding door locks. When a door is locked, the \
door
handle will not work the latch. This will help stop a door from being
accidentally opened. However, power door locks do not affect th\
e operation of
the hatch.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your door and set t\
he
locks from inside. Then get out and close the door.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle
has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing\
we put on it
can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can help.
Key in the ignition: If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders
or professional thieves-so don’t do it. When
you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll \
hear a chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take i\
t with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your ignition
and transmission. And remember
to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put the\
m in a storage
area,
or take them with you.
Parking Lots: If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your
vehicle,
it’s best to lock it up and take your keys. But what if you have to
leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your
vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area out of sight.
Lock all doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.

cases and away
from direct sunlight and dust. If the surface of a disc is
soiled, dampen a clean,
soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean
it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up discs

Your Chevrolet dealer or a qualified technician may have to determine

specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.

lndividual PSP’s
If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s issued by Chevrolet for all car and
truck models in the model year, you can buy individual PSP’s, such as those\

which may pertain to a particular model. To do this, you will first need to see
our index of PSP’s.
It provides a variety of information. Here’s what you’ll find
in the index and how you can get one:
What You’ll Find in the Index:
A list of all PSP’s published by Chevrolet in a model year (1989 or
later). PSP’s covering all models of Chevrolet cars or light trucks less
than 10,000 pounds (4536 kg)
GWVR are listed in the same index.
Ordering information so you can buy the specific PSP’s you may want.
Price information for the PSP’s you may want to buy.
How You Can Get an Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most of the PSP’s which could potentially
apply to the most recent Chevrolet models will be listed in the most recent
publication for that model year. This means you may want to wait until the
end of the model year before ordering an index,
if you are interested in
buying PSP’s pertaining to a current model year truck.
Some PSP’s pertaining to a particular model year vehicle may be published in
later years, and these would be listed in the later year’s index. When you
order an index for a model year that is not over yet, we’ll sen\
d you the most
recently published issue. Check the ordering form for indexes f\
or earlier model
years.
Cut out the ordering form,
fill it out, and mail it in. We will then see to it that
an index is mailed to you. There is no charge for indexes for the 1989-1993
model years.
Toll-Free Telephone Number
If you want an additional ordering form for an index or a subscr\
iption, just
call toll-free and we’ll be happy to send you one. Automated recording
equipment will take your name and mailing address. The number
to call is
1-800-551 -4123.
