2001 CHEVROLET CAMARO key

2-17 Turning Off the Alarm
If you started the alarm by pressing the panic button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter, you must either
push that button again or turn the ignition to RUN to
stop the alarm.
If the alarm is sounding due to the shock sensor or a
door or hatch opening, it can be turned off by either
turning the ignition to RUN with a proper key or by
pressing any button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. If you use your remote keyless entry
transmitter to silence the alarm, additional things will
happen depending upon which button you press.

Pressing the panic button or the UNLOCK button
will turn the alarm off, unlock the driver's door and
disarm the system.

Pressing the LOCK button will turn the alarm off,
keep the doors locked and keep the system armed.

Pressing the REAR 2X button will turn the alarm off and
keep the system armed. A second push of the button
(within five seconds, pausing slightly between presses)
will unlock and disarm the hatch only.
If the alarm is sounding because an incorrect ignition
key was used, press any button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter to turn the alarm off.
The alarm will stop by itself after two minutes.
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
wheelhouse near the spare tire in the hatch area, on the
passenger's side of the vehicle. 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. If sensitivity is increased too
much, it may give false alarms caused by gusts of wind
or other natural events that may shake the vehicle.

2-18
When your vehicle is new, there will be a label covering
the adjustment knob. Remove the label and adjust the
sensor as desired. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
sensitivity and counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity.
The shock sensor is ignored by the alarm system when
the following happens:

The ignition is on,

the hatch is open,

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.Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with the
remote keyless entry transmitter 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 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, the horn will chirp twice and the parking lamps
will flash. 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 the parking lamps will flash. If both
doors are closed when the power door lock switch is
pressed, the system assumes you are inside the vehicle,
so it will not arm. Locking the doors by using the
manual door locks will not arm the system.

2-19 Passive Arming
If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened, the system will arm six seconds after both doors
are closed, whether or not you lock them. In all other
cases, the system will wait 30 seconds after both doors
are closed before arming, allowing you time to get into
the vehicle and put the key in the ignition. The parking
lamps will flash when the system arms.
The vehicle is shipped from the factory with this feature
turned off. To turn this feature on, see ªFeature
Customizationº in the Index.
Disarming the System
There are two ways to disarm the system:

Press the UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. If the horn chirps two or three times when
you unlock the vehicle, the alarm sounded in your
absence. Two chirps means that the shock sensor was
set off and three chirps means that a door or the hatch
was opened.

Turn the ignition key to RUN.

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

2-20
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 ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº 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 dealer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS
-Key II.If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won't work. The
SECURITY light will flash. But you don't have to wait
three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service the
PASS
-Key II 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 II system, however, is not
working properly and must be serviced by your dealer.
Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS
-Key II system.
If you lose or damage a PASS
-Key II ignition key, see
your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS
-Key II
to have a new key made. In an emergency, call the
Chevrolet Roadside Assistance Center. See ªRoadside
Assistanceº in the Index for more information.
