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
vehicle has this option).
Remove RADIO fuse. This fuse is located in the
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
in Step 3.
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.

Theft-DeterrenUAlr m System (Option)
If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system. Once armed, the system will sound the horn
and flash the parlung lamps if the vehicle is broken into.
Shock Sensor
Coupe Convertible The
shock sensor is what triggers the alarm when it
detects a blow to your vehicle. It is located over the
right rear wheelhouse near the spare tire in the hatch
area. There are two levels
of alarms via the shock
sensor: Two horn blasts and parking lamp flashes for
non-threatening blows
to the vehicle and a full two
minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle. Its
sensitivity can be adjusted if more or less sensitivity is
desired. (Note:
If sensitivity increased too much, it may
give false alarms caused by gusts of wind or other
natural events that may shake the vehicle).
To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment
knob and adjust as desired. The shock sensor is ignored
by the alarm system during ignition on, when the hatch
is open, when the alarm is disarmed, when customized
to be ignored and for five seconds after the horn sounds
an alarm or chirp. The shock sensor is ignored after
triggering
three full alarms until the system is rearmed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Arming the System
The alarm system can be armed to detect break-ins by
locking your vehicle using the Remote Lock Control
transmitter or by locking the doors with the power door
lock switch. Passive arming is also available, if
you
would like the system to arm all by itself after the doors
have been closed for a
short time. When the system is
armed, a red light will flash briefly once every two
seconds. (Note: If you return to your vehicle and the red
light is flashing two brief flashes every two seconds, the
system is armed and the shock sensor had triggered a
two minute alarm. If the red light is flashing three times
every two seconds, the system
is armed and there was an
intrusion that sounded the alarm). Horn chirps and
parking lamp flashes can
be set to your choice.
Remote Lock Control Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle this way
will immediately arm the system. The horn will chirp
twice and the parking lamps will flash, confirming that
the system is armed.
If any door is open when the
transmitter LOCK button is pressed, the system goes
into an armed wait mode, waiting for the doors
to close.
Once they are closed, the system will arm, chirp the
horns twice and flash the parking lamps.
If the hatch is
open or ajar at the time the system is arming, the horn
will only chirp once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch
is pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they
are closed, the
system will arm and flash the parking lamps.
If all of the
doors are closed when the lock switch
is pressed, the
system assumes you are inside of the vehicle,
so it will
not arm. Note: Locking the doors by using the manual
door locks will not arm the system.
Passive Arming
If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened, the system will arm six seconds after all doors
are closed, whether or not you lock them. In all other
cases, the system will wait
30 seconds after all doors are
closed before arming, allowing you time to get into the
vehicle and the key in the ignition. The parking lamps
will flash when the system arms.
Disarming the System
There are two ways to disarm the system:
1. Press the UNLOCK button on the Remote Lock
Control transmitter,
OR if the horn chirps two or
three times when
you unlock the car, the alarm
sounded in your absence. Two chirps means that
the shock sensor was set
off and three chirps means
