Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
vehicle has a number
of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put
on it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the lgnition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves
- so don’t do it.
When
you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a chime
reminding you
to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition.
If you have an automatic transmission, taking your key out also
locks your transmission. And remember
to lock the doors.

2
Use your key to start your vehicle. The key lets you turn the ignition switch
to five different positions.
1.
OFF
2. RUN
3. START
4. ACC
5. LOCK 5
ACC (Accessory) - ACC lets you use things like the radio and the
windshield wipers when the engine is off. To get into ACC, push in the key
and turn it toward
you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it
was before you inserted the key.
Don’t operate accessories in the ACC position for long periods
of time. Prolonged operation
of accessories in the ACC position
could drain your battery and prevent you from starting your
vehicle.
LOCK - This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and
transmission. It’s a theft deterrent feature. You will only
be able to remove
your key when
the ignition is turned to LOCK.
OFF - This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. Use
OFF if you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine is
off (for example, if your vehicle
is being pushed).
RUN - This is the position for driving.
START - This starts your engine.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t turn it, be sure
it is all the way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch.
If none of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
Key Release Button
The key cannot be
removed
from the
ignition
of manual
transmission vehicles
unless the
key release
button
is used.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Remove the Key
On manual transmission vehicles, turn the key to the LOCK position while
pressing the key release button down at the same time. Pull the key straight
out.
On automatic transmission vehicles,
turn the key to LOCK and pull it
straight out.
Starting Your Engine
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) shows the code letter or number for your engine. You will
find the VIN at the top left
of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper steps to start the
engine.
Automatic transmission:
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is moving. If you
do, you could damage the transmission. Shift to PARK (P) only
when your vehicle is stopped.
Manual transmission:
The gear selector should be in neutral. Hold the clutch pedal to the floor and
start the engine. Your vehicle won’t start
if the clutch pedal is not all the
way down
- that’s a safety feature.
To start your 2.2 Liter engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition key to
START, When the engine starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will
go down as your engine gets warm.
r
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the \
cord as
it
was before to keep it away from moving engine parts. If you
don’t, it could be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer
depends
on the weather, the kind of oil you have, and some other things.
Instead of trying to list everything here, we ask that
you contact your GM
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can give
you the best advice for that particular area.
Automatic Transmission
There are several
different positions for
I
your shift lever.
If your vehicle
is equipped with automatic transmission, it now features an
electronic shift position indicator within
the instrument cluster. This display
must be powered anytime the shift lever is-capable
of being moved out of
the
PARK (P) position. This means that if your key is in the OFF position,
but
not locked, there will be a small current drain on your battery which
could discharge your battery over a period of time. If you have
a need to
leave your key in the ignition in
the OFF position for an extended period for
any reason, it is recommended that you disconnect the battery cable from
the battery
to prevent discharging your battery.
PARK (P) -This locks your rear wheels. It’s the best position to use
when
you start your engine because your vehicle can’t move easily.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not
fully in
PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set, Your
vehicle can roll.
Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine
is running unless you
have to.
If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move
suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle
won’t move, even when you’re on
fairly level ground, always set
your parking brake and move the shift lever to
PARK (P),
If you have four-wheel drive, your vehicle will be free to roll -
even if your shift lever is in PARK (P) - if your transfer case is
in NEUTRAL (N). So, be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear,
two-wheel high (2HI) or four-wheel high (4HI) or four-wheel
low
(4LO) - not in NEUTRAL (N). See “Shifting Into PARK
(P)” in the Index. If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a
Trailer” in the Index.
REVERSE (R) - Use this gear to back up.
NOTICE:
Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is moving forward
could damage your transmission. Shift
to REVERSE (R) only
after your vehicle is stopped.
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice or sand
without damaging your transmission,
see “If You’re Stuck: In Sand,
Mud, Ice or
Snow” in the Index.
0 NEUTRAL (N) - In this position, your engine doesn’t connect with
the wheels.
To restart when you’re already moving, use NEUTRAL (N)
only. Also, use NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Damage to your transmission caused by shifting out of PARK
(P) or NEUTRAL (N) with the engine racing isn’t covered by
your warranty.
0 OVERDRIVE (@) - This position is for normal driving. If you need
more power for passing, and you’re:
- Going less than about 35 mph (56 kdh), push your accelerator
pedal about halfway down.
- Going about 35 mph (56 kdh) or more, push the accelerator all
the way down.
You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power.
OVERDRIVE
(a) should not be used when towing a trailer,
carrying
a heavy load, driving on steep hills, or for off-road
driving. Select DRIVE
(D) when operating the vehicle under any
of these conditions.
DRIVE (D) - This is like @, but you never go into Overdrive. You
should use DRIVE
(D) when towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load,
driving on steep hills, or for off-road driving.
0 SECOND GEAR (2) - This position gives you more power but lower
fuel economy. You can use SECOND GEAR (2) on hills. It can help
control your speed
as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you
would
also want to use your brakes off and on.
If you manually select SECOND GEAR (2), the transmission will drive
in second gear. You may use this feature for reducing torque to the rear
wheels when
you are trying to start your vehicle from a stop on
slippery road surfaces.
2- 19

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0 FIR$T GEAR (1) - This position gives you even more power (but
lower fuel economy) than
SECOND GEAR (2). You can use it on very
steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put in
FIRST
GEAR (1) while the vehicle is moving forward, the transmission won’t
shift into FIRST
GEAR (1) until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen
if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against a solid object.
You could damage your transmission.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage
the transmission. Use your brakes or shift into PARK
(P) to hold
your vehicle in position on a hill.

This is your shift
pattern. Here’s how to
operate your
transmission:
0 FIRST GEAR (1) - Press the clutch pedal and shift into FIRST
GEAR (1). Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the
