blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the right or left.
0 You may have to synchronize your transmitter to
the receiver in your vehicle. See the instructions
for synchronization.
You may have to match the transmitters to your
vehicle. See instructions.
If none of the above apply, see your Chevrolet dealer
or qualified technician for service.
Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by the Remote Keyless Entry system. The
transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the
receiver. The receiver will not respond to a signal it has
been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recoding
and playing back the signal from the transmitter.
To
resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver:
0 While standing close to your vehicle, simultaneously
press and hold the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter for eight seconds. The door locks
should cycle and the parking lamps flash to confirm
synchronization. If this does not happen, you may
need to replace the battery in your transmitter
or
match the transmitter to your vehicle.
Transmitter Verification (If Equipped)
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter that a command has
been received by the Remote Keyless Entry 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(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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 your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have up to four transmitters
matched
to it.

Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
I1 is a passive
theft-deterrent system. It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key 11 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key I1 system senses that someone 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 start. 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 stays on
when
you try to start the vehicle, 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.
If
you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work, and
the
SECURITY light will flash. 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
I1 system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key
I1 ignition key, see

or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key I1 to have a new key made. In an emergency,

Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature which will allow certain features
of your vehicle
to continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the ignition key is turned
to the OFF position.
Your convertible top, power windows, and audio system
will work when the ignition key
is in the RUN or ACC
positions. Once the key
is turned from RUN to OFF,
these features will continue to work for up to 10 minutes
or until either door is opened.
Your power door unlock and remote hatch release
features will work when the ignition key is

is turned to
OFF, these features will continue to work for
up
to 10 minutes. If either door is open and the ignition
key is
off, these features will continue to work until both
doors have been closed for about
30 seconds or until the
theft-deterrent system arms. At that time, both the
power door unlock and remote hatch release features
will be disabled to enhance the security of the vehicle.
The power door lock function will work at all times
