Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
U
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
v1 AUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s
air bag inflates. This is because the back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.

about the top strap
if the child restraint has one.

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. 5. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.

the retractor to set the lock. 7. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the
retractor while you push down on the child restraint.
8. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure
it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's

Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key IT is
a passive
theft-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key I1 uses
a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches
a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
TI system senses that sonleone 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 stcart. 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 11.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 I1 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 I1 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 I1 ignition key, see
your Chevrolet dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key I1 to have a new key made. In an emergency,
call the Chevrolet Roadside Assistance Program at
1-800-CHEV-USA
(1-800-243-8872).
New Vehicle “Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern Chevrolet doesn’t need an
elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better
in the long run if you follow these guidelines:
0 Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time
you get new brake linings.
0 Don’t tow a trailer during break-in. See
“Tdwing
a Trailer” in the Index for more
information.

SECURITY
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
I1 system to
read the resistor pellet.
Fuel Gage
"/@9 I/
E
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
I1 system is not working properly. Your
vehicle is not protected by PASS-Key
11, and you should
see your dealer. Here are some
things owners ask about. All these
situations are normal and do not show a problem with
your fuel gage:
At the service station, the pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL (F).
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took
a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to
fill it.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up. Your
fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left when the ignition
is on. When the indicator
nears EMPTY (E), you still
have a little fuel left, but
you should get more soon.
