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.

Remote Hatch Release (Option)
Press the switch in your glove box to
unlock the
hatch from inside your vehicle.
If you have an automatic transmission,
your shift lever
must be in “P’ (Park) or
“N” (Neutral) to use the switch. If you

ignition switch is in “Run”, you must set
the parking brake before you can use the
switch.
The switch only works when the ignition
switch
is in “Run” or “Acc”, or when
RAP is present. (See “Retained
Accessory Power”
in the Index.)
NOTICE:
If you put things in the hatchback
area, be sure they won’t break the
glass when you close
it. Never slam
the hatch down. You could break the
glass or damage the defogger grid (if
equipped),

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.

“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.
