Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing
a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats’’ in the Index.)
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
Secure
the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions
of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front
of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.

Make sure the release button is positioned
so you
would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PASS-Key@II
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key@II
(Personalized Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-Key’II is a passive theft
deterrent system. This means you don’t have to do
anything different to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove the key from the ignition.
PASS-Key@II uses a resistor pellet
in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
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 is on, 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 may 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 come on. 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% 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).

Low Oil Level Light
Your engine is equipped
with an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
key is turned on, the LOW
OIL light will briefly flash.
If the light does not flash,
have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface and
turm the engine off. Check the oil level using the engine oil
dipstick. (See “Engine Oil” in the Index.) If the light does
not flash, have the low oil level sensor system repaired
so
it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil
level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check is
only performed if the engine has been turned off for a
considerable period of time, allowing the oil normally
in
circulation to drain back into the oil pan. This light
will come on
when you turn the key to
START and stay on until the
vehicle starts. It will also
come on and stay on if your
key is too dirty or wet for
the PASS-Key@II system to
read the resistor pellet.
If the resistor pellet is damaged or missing, the light will
flash.
If you’re driving and the light comes on and remains on,
your PASS-Key% system is
not working properly.
Your vehicle is not protected by PASS-Key@II, and you
should see your dealer.
