serious, like being hit by a train, that
even buckled up a person wouldn’t

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-door models, the switch on each rear door works only that door’s lock. It
won’t lock (or unlock) all of the
doors-that’s a safety feature.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. If you have an automatic
transaxle, all
of the doors will lock
when you move your shift lever out of
P (Park) or N (Neutral). If you have a
manual transaxle, all of the doors will
lock when the vehicle goes about
8 mph
(13km/h). Each time you close your
doors and turn on the ignition, the doors
will lock automatically only once. If
someone needs to get out while the
vehicle is running, have that person use
the manual or power lock. When the
door
is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or
power lock to lock the door again.
ures & Controls
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then
get out and close the door.
Illuminated Entry/Exit System
When you lift the handle of either front
door, the lights inside your vehicle will
go on. (On the wagon, the rear
compartment light will not
go on when
the doors are opened.) These lights will
go off after about 40 seconds, or when
the ignition
is turned on.
If the ignition has been off for less than
two minutes, the lights inside your vehicle will stay on for about four
seconds to provide an illuminated exit.
The illuminated entry/exit system is
deactivated when the dome light lever is
moved to the
OFF position.

Glove Box Lock
(RS AND 2-24 MODELS)
Use the door key to lock and unlock the
glove box.
To open, pinch the handle, 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
chime 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
transaxle, taking your key out also locks
your transaxle. 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?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your trunk or glove box. Use the
remote trunk release lockout feature,
if
so equipped. See Remote Trunk
Release earlier in this section.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
