About Safety Belts -- and the Answers
Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an
accident if I’m wearing a safety belt?
A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety
belt or not: But
you can unbuckle a safety belt,
even if you’re upside down. And your chance
of
being conscious during and after an accident, so
you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if
you are belted.
e.’’ If my vehicle has air bags, why should I have to
A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be
in most of them in the future. But
they are
supplemental systems only;
so they work with
safety belts -- not instead of them. Every air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the
use of
safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has air
bags,
you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true
not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.
wear safety belts?
Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should
I wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an
accident
-- even one that isn’t your fault -- you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver
doesn’t protect
you from things beyond your
control, such
as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of
home. And the greatest number of serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Toor Locks There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
A CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash
if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
From the outside use your door key. (If your vehicle has
the Vehicle and Content Theft-Deterrent/Alarm System
and it
is armed, unlocking and opening a door this way
will set off the alarm. See “Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenUAlarm System’’ in the Index.)

The driver’s door will unlock automatically when
UNLOCK is pressed. If UNLOCK is pressed again
within five seconds, the passenger door will also unlock.
All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The hatch will unlock when the button with the trunk
symbol is pressed, as long as the ignition is turned to the
OFF position. If the ignition is on, the trunk button will
only work if the transmission is in PARK
(P) for an
automatic transmission, or if the parking brake is set
on
a manual transmission.
The system will turn
on the interior lamps for about
40 seconds (or until the ignition switch is turned to the
RUN position), when you unlock the doors
or hatch.
The interior lamps will go
off when you lock the doors.
Operating the Remote Lock Control transmitter may
interact with the Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrentlAlarm
System (if
you have this option). See “Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrentlAlarm System” in the Index.
Alarm/Panic Mode
If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-Deterrent/Alarm System,
you will have a fourth
button on your transmitter. This button is the panic
button.
If you are involved in a panic situation, press this button and
your vehicle’s horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash,
This will draw needed attention to
you and your vehicle. To turn this feature off, either
push the panic button again or turn the ignition to the
RUN position. Note: This feature will
not work if your
ignition
is on or if the transmitter is 30 feet (9 m) or
more away from your vehicle.
Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
If your vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do
the following to determine what’s wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low (If
so, see “Battery
Replacement” in the Index).
2. While close to your vehicle, press the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons
on your transmitter at the same
time and hold for eight seconds. This will attempt to
match your Remote Lock Control transmitter and the
transmitter receiver security
codes.
3. If neither Steps 1 or 2 is successful, your transmitter
may need to be matched to your vehicle. See
“Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle” in
the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Transmitter Verification (Option)
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
Remote Lock Control transmitter that a command has
been received by the Remote Lock Control receiver.
The parking lamps will flash
on every lock and unlock
command and the horn will sound only if the LOCK
button is pushed twice within five seconds. This allows
for silent operation of locking and unlocking, unless a
confirming horn chirp is desired. Other options may be
selected for this feature (see “Feature Customization” in
the Index).
Matching Transmitter@) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If
a transmitter is
lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining transmitters
with you when you go
to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, any
remaining transmitters must
also be matched. Once the
new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four
transmitters matched
to it.
Have each transmitter you intend to match ready for the
next steps. To match transmitters to your vehicle:

Turn the ignition switch from the RUN position to
the OFF position. This will disarm the Vehicle and
Content Theft-Deterrent/Alarm System (if your

main fuse block, located
on the left side of your
instrument panel. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF
to the RUN
position three times quickly (within five seconds.)
The vehicle will respond by locking the doors,
unlocking the driver’s doors and releasing the hatch.
Your transmitter is now ready to match your vehicle.
Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
on
the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The vehicle will
respond as

Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.
When you have finished matching all of your
transmitters, replace the RADIO fuse.
Check that all transmitters work by pressing
their buttons.
If the transmitters don’t work, or if you’d rather not match
the transmitters yourself, See your Chevrolet dealer.

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Chevrolet 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 Ignition
If you leave 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 Chevrolet and open the driver’s
door, you’ll hear a tone 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. Park
in
a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what
if you have to leave your ignition key? What if
you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
glove box.
Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.
