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).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t
flash but just stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned out
and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index).
Headlamp High-Low Beam
To change the headlamps
from low beam to high or
high to low, pull the turn
signal lever all the way
toward
you. Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this blue light on the
instrument panel also will
be
on.

~ NOTICE: i
’ Don’t add anything electrical to your Chevrolet
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as they
should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your Chevrolet, see “Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Chevrolet” in the Index.
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
There are two fuse centers
on your vehicle. One is in the
left side
of your instrument panel.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker.
An electrical overload will cause the lamps to go on
and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have
your headlamp wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper
will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
The other is in the engine compartment. Open
the cover
on either of the boxes to expose the fuses.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one of the correct value. Just
pick some feature
of your vehicle that you can get along
without
- like the radio or cigarette lighter - and use
its fuse,
if it is the size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
