If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you
should use it.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your
dealer will order
you an extender. It’s free. When you go
in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear,
so the
extender will be long enough for you. The extender will
be just for you, and just for the seat in your vehicle that
you choose. Don’t let someone else use it, and use it
only for the seat it is made to fit.
To wear it, just attach it
to the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any other loose or damaged
restraint system parts.
If you see anything that might
keep a restraint system from doing its job, have it
repaired.
Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash.
They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt
is torn
or frayed, get a new one right away.
Replacing Seat and Restraint System
Parts After a Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But if the belts were stretched, as they would be
if worn
during a more severe crash, then you need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision
damage also may mean you will need to have safety belt
or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs
may be necessary even if the belt wasn’t being used at
the time of the collision.

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. 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
lamps
will come on for about two seconds when you
lock the doors.

Battery Replacement

transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range
in any location. If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.
Use two batteries, type
DL20 16, or a similar type.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the PASS-Key@II 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.
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-Key’II.
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-Key@II 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 at 1-800-CHEV-USA
(1-800-243-8872).
