Is the smoke from an air bag inflation
harmful?
The particles emitted during air bag
inflation are not harmful to most people.
Some people with respiratory ailments
may experience difficulty breathing if
they stay in the vehicle with the windows
closed after air bag inflation.
So, if your
air bag inflates, you
and any passengers
should exit the vehicle if and when it is
safe to do
so. If you or your passengers
can’t get out
of the vehicle, try to get
fresh air by opening
a window, turning on
the fan, or opening a door.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Chevrolet
Air bags affect how your Chevrolet
should be serviced. There are parts of the
air bag system in several places around
your vehicle. You don’t want the system
to inflate while someone is working on
your vehicle. Your Chevrolet dealer and
the
1994 Camaro Service Manual have
information about servicing your vehicle
and the air bag system. The air bag
system does not need regular
maintenance.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
PASS-Key@ZZ
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 key from the ignition.
PASS-Key@II uses a resistor pellet in
the ignition key that matches a decoder
in your vehicle.

Key Release Button: If you have a
manual transmission, your ignition lock
has a key release button.
You must press
the button before
you can take your key
out
of the ignition lock.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in “Lock”
and you can’t turn
it, be sure it is all
the way in. If it is, then turn the steer-
ing wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key
only with your hand. Using
a tool to
force it could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none
of this works,
then
your vehicle needs service.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
If you have power door locks, your
vehicle has a feature called Retained
Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP your
power door locks, electric mirrors, power
windows, audio system and remote hatch
release
will continue to work up to 10
minutes after the ignition key is turned to
“Off’ and neither door
is opened.
If
a door is opened, the audio system and
power windows will shut off. The power
door locks, electric mirrors and remote
hatch release
will work until you shut the
door. Once you have shut the door, these
accessories
will continue to work for
approximately
35 seconds. After this
time you will not be able to use these
accessories until the next time you open
a door or
turn on the ignition.
