Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Door Lo -‘IS
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. Use your
key to unlock y
vehicle from
the outside.
You can also use the
optional remote keyless
entry
system to unlock
your vehicle. our
There are several
ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
To lock the door from the
inside, push the locking
lever forward.
To unlock the door, pull the locking lever backward.

from the outside.
2. Use a key to move the lock all the way down.

Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your door and set
the locks from inside. Then get out and close the door.
Keyless Entry System (Option)
If your Chevrolet has this option, you can lock and
unlock your doors or unlock your trunk from up
to
30 feet (9 m) away using the key chain transmitter
supplied with your vehicle. Your Keyless Entry
System operates on
a
radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules.

for service.
Changes
or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Operation
The driver’s door will unlock automatically when
UNLOCK is pressed.
If pressed again within five
seconds, all the doors will unlock. All doors will lock
when DOOR
is pressed.
The trunk will unlock anytime when the opened trunk
symbol on the Keyless Entry Control is pressed and
the ignition key is
OFF. On vehicles equipped with a
manual transaxle, the parking brake must be set.
Press DOOR or
UNLOCK to illuminate the interior
lamps. The lamps will then
go off after 40 seconds
when
UNLOCK is pressed and for a few seconds when
DOOR is pressed. When the ignition is turned on, the
lamps will also fade out. See “Illuminated Entry”
in
the Index.
Matching Tkansmitter(s) 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 two transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range in any location. If you
have to get close to your,vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.

Transmitter
1. Pop the cover off by inserting a coin or similar object
in the slot between the covers,
and then twisting.
2. Lift the cover off, bottom half first
3. Remove and replace the two batteries. Use two
Duracell@ batteries, type
DL-2016, or equivalent.
4. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
cover
is on tightly, so water won’t get in.
5. Check the transmitter operation.
Trunk
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk
lid:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on any airflow selection except
MAX. That
will force outside air into your vehicle. See
“Comfort Controls” in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them
all the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.

When you open either front door, or open a rear door,
the lamps inside
your vehicle will go on. These lamps
will fade
off after about 40 seconds, or when the ignition
is turned
on after all the doors have been closed.
If the ignition has been off for less than two minutes,
the lamps inside
your vehicle will stay on for about
15 seconds to provide an illuminated exit when you
remove the key from the ignition.
After you exit the vehicle and all of the doors have been
closed, the lamps will stay
on for an additional four
seconds before fading
off. These lamps will also go on
when
you press the DOOR or UNLOCK button on the
optional Keyless Entry Transmitter.
Front Reading Lamps (Models with
Sunroof or Convertible Top)
These lamps are located on the rearview mirror. Turn
each one on and off by pressing its switch.
