Remote Lock Control (Option)
If your Chevrolet has this option, you can
lock and unlock your doors or unlock
your hatch from about
30 feet (9 m) using
the key chain transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your Remote Lock Control operates on a
radio frequency subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation. Should interference
to this system occur,
try this:
0 Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
0 Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
0 Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
See your Chevrolet dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system
by other than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use
this equipment.
Operation
The driver’s door will unlock
automatically when “UNLOCK’ is
pressed. If “UNLOCK” is pressed again
within five seconds, the passenger door
will also unlock. All doors will
lock when
“DOOR” is pressed. The hatch will
unlock when the opened trunk symbol is
pressed, but only when the ignition switch
is not
in “Run”, and the transmission is in
“P’ (Park) if you have an automatic
transmission. If you have a manual transmission, the
parking brake must be
set.
The system will
turn on the interior lights
for about
40 seconds, or until the ignition
switch is turned to “Run”, when you
unlock the doors or hatch. The interior
lights will come on for about two seconds
when you lock the doors.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is
lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer.
Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you
go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the
replacement transmitter to your vehicle,
the remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is
coded, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle.

You can match a transmitter to as many
different vehicles
as you own, provided
they are equipped with exactly
the same
model system. (General Motors offers
several different models of these systems
on their vehicles.) Each vehicle can have
only two transmitters matched to
it.
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Find the Data Link Connector (DLC).
It is
in the bottom of the instrument
panel near the steering column.
2. Insert one end of a fused jumper into
terminal

terminal on the far right.

line. You should hear the door locks lock

When matching transmitters, the first
transmitter code matched
will be stored in
both memories until a second transmitter
is matched. This means
that the second transmitter
will not work until
it is
matched
in step 5.
4. Press any button on the first
transmitter. The door locks should
lock and unlock.

transmitter. The door locks should

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.
53.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Features and Controls
When the PASS-KeyW 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 go to
the engine. If someone tries to start your
vehicle again or uses another
key during
this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different
resistor pellets
in an attempt to make a
match.
SECURITY
~
The ignition key must be clean and dry
before it’s inserted
in the ignition or the
engine may not start. If the engine does
not start and the
“SECURITY” light stays
on when you
try to start the vehicle, the
key may be dirty or wet. Turn the
ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security light
will remain on during this time. If the
starter still won’t work, and the key
appears to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try another ignition key.
At this time, you may also want to check
the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index). If the starter
won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle does start,
the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Chevrolet dealer or a
locksmith who can service the
PASS-KeyaII.
If you accidentally use a key that has a
damaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work and the security light
will flash. But you don’t have to wait
three minutes before trying another
ignition key.
See your Chevrolet dealer or a locksmith
who can service the PASS-Key@II to have
a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and the
“SECURITY” light comes on and stays
on, you will be able to restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key@II
system, however, is not working properly
and must be serviced by your Chevrolet
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by
the PASS-KeyW system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@II
ignition key, see your Chevrolet
dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key@II
to have a new key made.
In an emergency, call the Chevrolet
Roadside Assistance Program on
1 -800-CHEV-USA (1 -800-243-8872).

“Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern Chevrolet doesn’t need
an elaborate “break-in.” But it will
perform better
in the long run if you
follow these guidelines:
Keep your speed at
55 mph (88
km/h) or less for the first 500
miles (804 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed
-
fast or slow - for the first 500
miles (804 km). Don’t make
full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the
first
200 miles (322 km) or so.
During this time your new brake
linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard
stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
“breaking-in” guideline every
time
you get new brake linings.
