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.

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).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are several ways to turn off the
Cruise Control:
1. Step lightly on the brake pedal or push
the clutch pedal, if you have a manual
transmission;
2. Move the Cruise switch to “OFF.”
To Erase Speed Memory
When you turn off the Cruise Control or
the ignition, your Cruise Control set speel
memory is erased.
ASR and Cruise Control
If your ASR system engages while your
Cruise Control is set, Cruise Control will
disengage. Your speed will be set in
memory, though. When Cruise Control
engages again, use “WAY’
(Resume/Accelerate) to
go back to your
set speed.
Operation of Lights
4lthough your vehicle’s lighting system
:headlights, parking lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meets all
ipplicable federal lighting requirements,
Zertain states and provinces may apply
:heir own lighting regulations that may
require special attention before you
>perate these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may
require that you operate fog lamps only
when your lower beam headlights are also
m, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield
wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parkmg
lights, especially at dawn or dusk. It is
recommended that you check with your
own state or provincial highway authority
for applicable lighting regulations.

Warning Lights, Gages
and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gages that may be on your vehicle.
The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also
save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be
or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions.
As you will see in the details
on the next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key just to let you know they’re
working.
If you are familiar with this
section, you should not be alarmed when
this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be
or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Often gages and warning lights
work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle. When one
of the warning lights comes on
and stays
on when you are driving, or
when one of the gages shows there may
be a problem, check the section that tells
you what to do about it. Please follow the
manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly
- and even dangerous. So
please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
