Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in
some cities. Although your Chevrolet 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 Chevrolet and open
the driver’s door, you’ll hear a tone
reminding you to remove your key from
the ignition and take
it with you. Always
do this. Your steering wheel
will be
locked, and
so will your ignition. If you
have an automatic transmission, taking
your key out also locks your 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 them 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?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your glove box.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.

Your vehicle is equipped with the
PASS-Key II@ (Personalized Automotive
Security System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key II@ is
a passive theft-deterrent
system. This means you don’t have to do
anything different to arm or disarm the
system. It works when you insert or
remove the ke from the ignition.
PASS-Key I1 uses
a resistor pellet in
the ignition key that matches a decoder
in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
II@ system senses
that someone is using the wrong key,
it
shuts down the vehicle‘s starter and fuel
systems.
For about three minutes, the
starter won’t work and fuel won’t
