Passive Keyless Entry system, the alarm will go off.
Your horn will sound for three minutes, then it will go
off to save battery power. And, your vehicle won’t start.
The theft deterrent system won’t arm if you lock the
doors with a key or manual door lock, or if you lock the
vehicle after the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave
with the keys, have the passenger lock the vehicle after
the doors are closed. This way the alarm won’t
arm, and
your passenger won’t set it
off.
Always use your key or the Passive Keyless Entry
system to unlock a door. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm. If you do set off the alarm
accidentally, there are three ways to stop it:
Unlock any door with your key.
Put the ignition key in the ignition.
Use the Passive Keyless Entry system.
How to Test the Alarm
1. Make sure the rear hatch is latched.
2. Lower a window.
3. Arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait five seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and unlock the door
from inside. The alarm should sound.
6. Turn off the alarm.
If the alarm doesn’t go off, check to see if the horn
works. If not, check the horn fuse. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index. If the
horn does work,
. but the alarm doesn’t go off, see your dealer.

Your vehicle is equi ped
with the PASS-Key
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
It works when you insert or remove the key from the
ignition. PASS-Key uses a resistor pellet in the ignition
key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key 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 shutdown period will start over
again. 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
SECURITY light comes on, the key may be dirty or
wet.
If this happens and the starter won’t work, turn the
ignition
off. Clean and dry the key, wait three minutes
and
try again. If the starter still won’t work, wait three
minutes and try the other 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.

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)
and for burned-out bulbs.

of the fuse. The fuse is labeled HATCH (45).
4. With one person on each side, carefully position the
hardtop over the vehicle. Lower the hardtop slowly,
aligning the rear bolt spacers onto the bezels, and
front conical nuts into the tapered receivers. Realign
the hardtop, if necessary.
NOTICE:
To help avoid damage, don’t force the rear of the
hardtop down. The hardtop may rest slightly
above the storage compartment lid until the
release lever is pulled. See Step
