Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, 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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
The security light,
located on the
instrument panel cluster,
will ash as you open
the door, while the
ignition is off, to indicate
the system is being
activated.
131

This message reminds you to activate the
theft-deterrent system. Here is how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. The security light should
come on and ash. The door does not need to
be open.
If the delayed locking feature is active, the
alarm will not be activated until all doors are
closed and the security light goes off.
3. Close all doors. The security light will stop
ashing and go off after approximately
30 seconds. The content theft deterrent alarm
is not armed until the security light goes off.
If a door is opened without using the RKE
transmitter, the alarm will go off. Your vehicle’s
headlamps will ash and the horn will sound
for about two minutes, then will turn off to save
the battery power.The theft-deterrent system will not activate if you
lock the doors with a key, the manual door lock, or
the power door lock switch. It activates only if you
use the RKE transmitter. You should also
remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off.
Here is how to avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
If you do not want to activate the
theft-deterrent system, the vehicle should be
locked with the door key after the doors
are closed.
Always unlock a door with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm if the system
has been armed.
If you set off the alarm by accident, turn off the
alarm by pressing unlock on the remote keyless
entry transmitter or by placing the key in the
ignition and turning it to START.
132

Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s
window and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with
the RKE transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait
for the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the
door with the manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, but
the vehicle’s headlamps ash, check to see if the
horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit Breakers
on page 600.
If the alarm does not sound or the vehicle’s
headlamps do not ash, see your dealer for
service.
Passlock®
Your vehicle has the Passlock®theft-deterrent
system.
Passlock
®is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock®enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder
is turned with a valid key. If a correct key is
not used or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered
with, fuel is disabled.
If the engine stalls and the security light ashes,
wait until the light stops ashing before trying
to restart the engine. Remember to release the key
from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the security 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 fuse. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 600. See your dealer
for service.
In an emergency, call the GM Roadside
Assistance Center. SeeRoadside Assistance
Program on page 644.

to four different positions.
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break
the key. Use the correct key and turn the key
only with your hand. Make sure the key is all the
way in. If it is, turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.A (LOCK):This position locks your ignition when
the key is removed. The steering locks when
equipped with a manual transmission. It is
a theft-deterrent feature. You will only be able to
remove your key when the ignition is turned
to LOCK.
B (ACCESSORY):This position allows you to use
things like the radio, power windows and the
windshield wipers when the engine is off.
{CAUTION:
On manual transmission vehicles, turning
the key to LOCK will lock the steering
column and result in a loss of ability to
steer the vehicle. This could cause a
collision. If you need to turn the engine
off while the vehicle is moving, turn the
key only to ACCESSORY. Do not press
the key release button while the vehicle is
moving.
135

C (RUN):This is the position for driving.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ACCESSORY or RUN position with the
engine off. You may not be able to start your
vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for
an extended period of time.
D (START):This position starts your engine.
Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it
is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle,
a chime will sound, when you open the driver’s
door. Always remember to remove your key from
the ignition and take it with you. This will lock
your ignition and transaxle. Also, always remember
to lock the doors.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ignition while your vehicle is parked.
You may not be able to start your vehicle after it
has been parked for an extended period of time.
