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
have a manual transmission and the
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),

“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.

Off (C): Unlocks the steering wheel,
ignition and automatic transmission, but
does not send electrical power to any

you can use “Run” to operate
your electrical power accessories and to
display some instrument panel warning
and indicator lights.
Start (E): Starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition
switch will return to “Run” for normal
driving.
Note that even if the engine is not

2 (Second Gear)
This position gives you more power but
lower fuel economy. You can use
“2” on
hills.
It can help control your speed as
you go down steep mountain roads, but
then you would also want to
use your
brakes off and on.
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in “2” (Second Gear)
for more than
5 miles (8 km), or at
speeds over
55 mph (88 km/h), or
you can damage your transmission.
Use
@I or “D’ as much as possible.
Don’t shift into
“2” unless you
are going slower than
65 mph
( 105 km/h), or you can damage
your engine.
0 1 (First Gear)
This position gives you even more power
(but lower fuel economy) than “2.” You
can use
it on very steep hills, or in deep
snow or mud.
If the selector lever is put i~
“1,” the transmission won’t shift into firsf
gear
until the vehicle is going slowly
enough.
NOTICE:
If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t
try to drive. This might happen
if you
were stuck
in very deep sand or mud
or were up against a solid object. You
could damage your transmission.
Also, if you stop when going uphill,
don’t hold your vehicle there with
only the accelerator pedal. This
could overheat and damage the
transmission. Use your brakes or
shift
into “P” (Park) to hold your
vehicle
in position on a hill.
Maximum engine speed
is limited to
protect driveline components from

“2” and “3” prior to shifting into “R.”
Your six-speed manual transmission has a
feature that allows you to safely shift into
“R’ (Reverse) while the vehicle is rolling
(at less than
5 mph). You will be
“locked-out”
if you try to shift into “R’
(Reverse) while your vehicle is moving
faster than

If
you have turned your ignition off and
wish to park your vehicle
in Reverse, you
will have to move the shift lever quickly
