necessary.  See the instructions 
on battery

Check the  distance. You may  be too  far  from  your 
vehicle.  This product  has a maximum  range. 
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 
You  don’t  have  to  do  anything for PKE to work when 
the passive  feature is on. Just walk toward your  vehicle 
with the 
PKE transmitter, and the system will 
automatically disarm your theft-deterrent  system  and 
unlock the doors. 
If it’s  dark enough outside,  your 
interior lamps  will come  on. 
If you move  out of range, the  PKE  system  will: 
1. Lock the doors after  five seconds. 
2. Arm the theft-deterrent  system. 
3. Sound  the horn  to  let  you know the doors are locked. 
4. Turn off the interior lamps. 
You  can also use  the buttons  on the transmitter.  Press 
DOOR  to open the passenger’s door  or HATCH  to  open 
the hatch.  The HATCH  button will only work when  the 
ignition  is off. 
The  system has a feature that makes  it difficult  for you 
to  lock your keys in your vehicle.  If you leave  your  keys 
in  the  ignition and  lock the doors, the system will unlock 
the doors as soon as they  are closed.  If you  leave  the 
keys in the ignition and move  away with the transmitter, 
the doors still will not lock.  You should notice  that  the 
horn doesn’t sound and return  to get  your keys.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system  will allow you  to lock  your  keys in  the 
vehicle  if  you didn’t leave  them  in the  ignition.  You 
should,  however,  be able  to  use  the  transmitter  to  get 
them  out.  After 
26 seconds of no motion,  the  transmitter 
shuts  down  to  save  the  battery. Wait about 
30 seconds, 
then  rock  the  vehicle. The  transmitter  should “wake 
up” 
and unlock  the  doors. 
This  system  can’t guarantee  that  you’ll never be locked 
out  of your vehicle.  If the  battery  is low  or if the 
transmitter  is  in a  place  where the  signal  can’t get  to  the 
antenna,  it  won’t unlock  the  doors.  Always remember  to 
take  your  keys with you. 
PKE Settings 
You can use the  system  for  both doors  or just  the 
driver’s  door, or you  can turn  the system 
off. 
To change door settings: 
1. Put  the  ignition  key in  the  ignition,  but don’t  turn  it 
2. Press DOOR on the  transmitter  until  the  door locks 
on.

(about  two  seconds). 
To turn  the  system off: 
1. Take the  ignition  key  out of the ignition. 
2. Press DOOR on the  transmitter until  the  door  locks 
cycle  (about  two seconds). 
To turn the system  back on, just  repeat the  steps. 
To  check  that  the  system is 
off, turn  on  the  ignition.  The 
PASSIVE 
KEYLESS ENTRY  light on  the  Driver 
Information Center  should  not come on. If the  light  does 
come  on for  a  second  or  two,  then  the PKE  system  is 
still  on. 
You  can also  check  whether  the system is  on  or 
off by 
closing  the  door  and  walking  away  with  the  keys  and 
transmitter.  If the  doors lock,  the system is  on. 
If you are working  around  your  vehicle and  keeping 
your keys  with you,  you  might  want  to 
turn the  PKE 
system 
off. If  you  don’t, the transmitter  will  keep 
locking  and unlocking  your doors.

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

The headlamp doors  are designed  to open when  you 
turn  the  headlamps  on and  close  when  you turn the 
headlamps  and  parking lamps off.  If  you turn the 
headlamps  on, then  turn  the headlamp  switch back  to 
the  parking lamps setting,  the headlamp  doors will stay 
open.  You 
can open the doors manually using the  knob next to 
the headlamp assembly. Turn  the knob  counterclockwise 
until the  doors  are  open. 
The headlamp  doors should be open when  driving in  icy 
or  snowy  conditions  to prevent the doors  from freezing 
closed and when washing the vehicle  to  help  clean the 
headlamps. 
Daytime  Running  Lamps  (Canada  Only) 
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it  easier  for 
others  to  see  the front  of your vehicle  during  the day. 
DRL  can  be  helpful in many different  driving 
conditions,  but they can be especially helpful  in the 
short  periods  after dawn and before  sunset. 
A light sensor  on top  of the instrument  panel makes  the 
DRL work, 
so be  sure  it isn’t covered. 
The  DRL  system will make  your front  turn signal  lamps 
come on when: 
The  ignition  is on, 
The  headlamp switch is off, and 
0 The parking brake is released.

        Page 91 of 386
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the DRL are on, only  your front turn signal  lamps 
will  be 
on. The  taillamps,  sidemarker  and other lamps 
won’t 
be on.  Your  instrument  panel won’t  be lit up  either. 
When  it’s dark enough outside, your  front turn signal 
lamps  will  go out and your headlamps will  come on. 
The  other  lamps that come  on with your headlamps will 
also  come  on. 
When  it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will 
go  off, and your front turn signal lamps  come on. 
As with any vehicle,  you should turn  on the regular 
headlamp  system any time you need 
it. 
Fog Lamps 
Use your  fog lamps  for 
better  vision  in  foggy or 
misty  conditions.  Your 
parking  lamps 
or 
low-beam headlamps must 
be on or your  fog lamps 
won’t  work. 
To turn the  fog  lamps on,  push  the button.  Push the 
button again 
to turn the  fog lamps off. A light  above the 
button  will come  on  when the fog lamps are  on.
