this section.
Delayed Illumination and Exit Lighting
With delayed illumination, the interior lamps will stay
on for about 25 seconds after all the doors and the
liftgate are closed.
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on and
stay on for about 25 seconds whenever you remove the
key from the ignition.
Programmable Modes
Mode 1: Both Features Off (The interior lamps will turn on
or off at the same instant that a door is opened or closed.)
Mode 2: Delayed Illumination Only (The interior lamps
will stay on for about 25 seconds after all the doors and
liftgate are closed, or until you lock the doors.)

2-34 Sliding Door Security Lock
Your vehicle is equipped with a sliding door security
lock that helps prevent young children or other
passengers from opening the sliding door(s) using the
inside door handle.
The security lock lever is located on the inside of each
sliding door, on the front edge of the door. To access the
lever, open the sliding door. Use the security lock label
on the edge of the door as a guide.
To use the security lock,
move the security lock lever
all the way up and close the
door from the outside.If your vehicle has the optional power sliding door(s),
you can override the security lock by pressing either
power door switch when the power sliding door override
switch is off. When the override switch(es) is turned on,
the power sliding door(s) cannot be opened from the
inside when the sliding door security lock is in use.
If you want to open the sliding door(s) when the security
lock is on, unlock and open the door from the outside.
You should let adults and older children know how the
security lock works, and how to cancel the lock. If you
don't, adults or older children who ride in the rear won't
be able to open the sliding door from the inside when
the security lock feature is in use.
Resetting the Power Sliding Door
The power sliding door may operate incorrectly or not at
all because of the following conditions:

A low voltage or dead battery,

disconnecting the battery, or

if the instrument panel fuse 4 or the underhood
fuse 5, 27 or 29 are removed or blown.
See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index for more
information about your fuse panel.

2-42
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check fuse 12. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, your vehicle needs
service. If your vehicle does start, the first key may
be faulty. See your dealer or a locksmith who can
service the PASS
-Key III to have a new key made.
See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
It is possible for the Pass
-Key III decoder to learn the
transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up to
10 additional keys may be programmed for the vehicle.
This procedure is for learning additional keys only. If all
the currently programmed keys are lost or do not
operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith who
can service PASS
-Key III to have keys made and
programmed to the system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS
-Key III to get a new key blank that is cut exactly
as the ignition key that operates the system.To program the new key:
1. Verify the new key has ªPK3º stamped on it.
2. Insert the ignition key in the ignition and start the engine.
If the engine will not start see your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to RUN
within 10 seconds of removing the previous key.
5. The security message will turn off once the key has
been programmed. It may not be apparent that the
security message went on due to how quickly the key
is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are to
be programmed.
If you are ever driving and the security message comes on
and stays on, you will be able to restart your engine if you
turn it off. Your PASS-Key III system, however, is not
working properly and must be serviced by your dealer.
Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS
-Key III system
at this time.
If you lose or damage a PASS
-Key III key, see your
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS
-Key III to
have a new key made. In an emergency, call Chevrolet
Roadside Assistance. See ªRoadside Assistanceº in the
Index for more information.

If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned
-out bulbs and check the
fuse. See ªBulb Replacementº and ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will flash at a
normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned out.
Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to
make sure they are working.
Turn Signal on Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than
3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver
know to turn it off.
If you need to leave the signal on for more than 3/4 mile
(1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it back on.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from high to low beam, or low
to high, simply pull the turn signal lever all the way
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel cluster
will also be on.
Your fog lamps will turn off when you switch to high
beams. Using your high beams in fog is not recommended.
Flash-to-Pass
When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward you
to momentarily switch on the high beams (to signal that
you are going to pass). When you release the lever, they
will turn off.

2-86
If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don't run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes at
one time. If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, do the following:
1. Press OFF and detach the hose, first from the
inflated object, then from the outlet.
2. Put the protective cap back on.
3. Place the inflator kit tools in the pouch, and store in
the glove box.

the cover and put it in place. Push down the tab to
secure the cover.Accessory Power Outlets

equipment such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc.
Follow the proper installation instructions that are
included with any electrical equipment you install.
The front accessory power outlets are located below the
cupholders. Pull the cover down to use the power outlet.
When not in use, keep the cover on.
The rear accessory power outlet is located in the rear
compartment on the driver's side. To remove the cover,
pull the tab on the cover and pull it off.

To put the cover back on the rear accessory power outlet,
line up the tabs at the back of the cover and put the cover
in place. Push down the tab to secure the cover.
When not in use, always cover the rear accessory power
outlet with the protective cap.

vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem see
your dealer for additional information on the accessory
power plugs.

6-62 Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links.
Look at the silver
-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage or use one of the spare fuses in the underhood
fuse and relay center. Just pick some feature of your
vehicle that you can get along without
-- like the radio
or cigarette lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the right
amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the
instrument panel fuse block and the underhood fuse and
relay center.Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse
block is located to the right
of the glove box.
Pull the door open to access the instrument panel
fuse block.
