1998 CHEVROLET CAVALIER trunk release

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operation
The following functions are available with the remote
keyless entry system:
LOCK: All doors will automatically lock when the
LOCK button on the transmitter
is pressed. The interior
lamps stay on for two seconds after all
of the doors
are closed.
UNLOCK: The driver’s door will unlock automatically
when the UNLOCK button
on the transmitter is pressed.
If the UNLOCK button is pressed again within five
seconds, all remaining doors will unlock. The interior
lamps will stay
on for 40 seconds or until the ignition is
turned
on.
Trunk Release: The trunk will unlock anytime when
the vehicle symbol
on the transmitter is pressed and
the ignition is
OFF. The interior lamps will come on
for 40 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned on.
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 only two transmitters
matched to it.
You can match your transmitter to as many
1998 General
Motors vehicles as you own, as long as they have the
same remote keyless entry system. Contact your dealer
for assistance with this.

Theft
Vehicle theft is big busines s, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle 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.
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 vehicle and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a chime 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 transaxle, taking your
key out also locks your transaxle. And remember to lock
the doors.
Parking at Night
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 key?
If possible, park in a busy, well lit area.
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
trunk
or glove box. Be sure to close and lock the
storage area.
Close all windows.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Passlock‘
During normal operation, the THEFT SYSTEM light
will go off after the engine is started.
If the engine stalls and the THEFT SYSTEM light
flashes, wait until
the light stops flashing before trying
to restart the engine. Remember to release the key from
the START position as soon as the engine starts.
Your vehicle
is equipped with the Passlock
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock is a passive theft-deterrent system. The system is armed once the key is removed from the ignition.
Passlock enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder
is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used, fuel
is disabled. If you
are driving and the THEFT SYSTEM light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if you
turn the engine off. However, your Passlock system is
not working properly and must be serviced
by your
dealer. Your vehicle
is not protected by Passlock at this
time. You may also want to check the fuses (see “Fuses
and Circuit Breakers” in the Index). See your dealer
for service.
If the THEFT SYSTEM light comes on while the engine
is running, a problem has been detected and the system
may need service. See your dealer for service.
In an emergency, call the Chevrolet Roadside Assistance
Center at 1-800-CHEV-USA
(1-800-243-8872).
(In Canada call 1-800-268-6800.)
