Keys, Doors, and Windows 2-11When trying to start the vehicle if
the engine does not start and the
security light on the instrument
cluster comes on, there may be a
problem with the theft-deterrent
system. Turn the ignition off and try
again.
If the engine still does not start, and
the key does not appear to be
damaged, wait about five minutes
and try another ignition key and
check the fuse. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 10 ‑ 30 .
If the engine still does not start with
the other key, the vehicle needs
service. If the vehicle does start, the
first key may be faulty. See your
dealer who can service the
PASS-Key III+ to have a new
key made.
It is possible for the PASS-Key III+
decoder to “ learn ” the transponder
value of a new or replacement key. Up to 10 keys may be programmed
for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming
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 that the new key has
1stamped on it.
2. Insert the already programmed
key in the ignition and start the
engine. If the engine does not
start, see your dealer for service. 3. After the engine has started, turn
the key to LOCK/OFF, and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed
and turn it to the ON/RUN
position within five seconds of
the original key being turned to
the LOCK/OFF position.
The security light turns off once
the key has been programmed.
5. Repeat Steps 1 – 4 if additional
keys are to be programmed.
If the PASS-Key III+ key is lost or
damaged, see your dealer or a
locksmith to have a new key made.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.

Seats and Restraints 3-19
{ WARNINGBecause airbags inflate with great
force and faster than the blink of
an eye, anyone who is up
against, or very close to any
airbag when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed. Do not
sit unnecessarily close to any
airbag, as you would be if sitting
on the edge of the seat or leaning
forward. Safety belts help keep
you in position before and during
a crash. Always wear a safety
belt, even with airbags. The driver
should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
Occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door or side
windows in seating positions with
seat-mounted side impact airbags
and/or roof-rail airbags. { WARNINGChildren who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag when
it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Airbags plus
lap-shoulder belts offer protection
for adults and older children, but
not for young children and infants.
Neither the vehicle's safety belt
system nor its airbag system is
designed for them. Young
children and infants need the
protection that a child restraint
system can provide. Always
secure children properly in the
vehicle. To read how, see Older
Children on page 3 ‑ 32 or Infants
and Young Children on
page 3 ‑ 34 . There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument cluster, which
shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag
electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. See Airbag
Readiness Light on page 5 ‑ 12 for
more information.

Black plate (11,1)Chevrolet Captiva Sport Owner Manual - 2013 - crc - 11/12/12
Instruments and Controls 5-11When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates how much fuel is
left in the tank.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There is still
a little fuel left, but the fuel tank
should be refilled soon. See Low
Fuel Warning Light on page 5 ‑ 21 for
more information.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
means the fuel gauge is not working
properly: .
At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full. .
It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank. .
The gauge moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up. .
The gauge takes a few seconds
to stabilize after the ignition is
turned on, but it goes back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.
For fuel tank capacity, see
Capacities and Specifications on
page 12 ‑ 2 .
Safety Belt Reminders Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
cluster. When the vehicle is started this light
flashes and a chime may come on
to remind the driver to fasten their
safety belt. Then the light stays on
solid until the belt is buckled. This
cycle may continue several times if
the driver remains or becomes
unbuckled while the vehicle is
moving.
If the driver safety belt is buckled,
neither the light nor the chime
comes on.
Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light
There may be a passenger safety
belt reminder light near the
passenger airbag status indicator.
See Passenger Sensing System
(United States) on page 3 ‑ 25 .

Gate Ajar Light
If the gate ajar light comes on, the
liftgate is not completely closed.
Driving with the liftgate open can
cause carbon monoxide (CO) to
enter the vehicle.
See Engine Exhaust on page 9 ‑ 19
for more information. Information Displays Driver Information
Center (DIC) The vehicle has a Driver Information
Center (DIC).
All information appears in the DIC
display in the instrument cluster.
The DIC comes on when the ignition
is on. After a short delay, the DIC
displays the information that was
last displayed before the engine
was turned off.
The DIC displays trip, fuel, and
vehicle system information, and
warning messages if a system
problem is detected.
The DIC also displays the compass
direction, outside air temperature,
and shift position indicator at the top
of the DIC display. If there is a
problem with the system that
controls the temperature display, the
numbers will be replaced with
dashes. If this occurs, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If an abnormal temperature reading
is displayed for an extended period
of time, consult your dealer. Under
certain circumstances, especially
when the engine is idling, a delay in
updating the temperature display is
normal.
See Compass on page 5 ‑ 4 and
Automatic Transmission on
page 9 ‑ 20 .
The DIC has different displays
which can be accessed by pressing
the DIC buttons on the instrument
panel, below the exterior lamps
control.
