Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Seats and Restraint Systems
Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags
so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
A: Air bags, or Supplemental Inflatable
Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and will be in more of
them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
- so they
work
with safety belts, not instead of
them. Every air bag system ever
offered for sale has required the use
of safety belts. Even if you’re in
a
vehicle that has air bags, you still
have to buckle up
to get the most
protection. That’s true not only
in
frontal collisions, but especially in
side and other collisions.
Q: If I’m a good driver, and 1 never
drive far from home, why should
I
wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if
you’re in an accident - even one that
isn’t your fault
- you and your
passengers can be hurt. Being
a good
driver doesn’t protect you from things
beyond your control, such as bad
drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles
(40 km) of home. And the greatest
number
of serious injuries and deaths
occur at speeds
of less than 40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
Safety Belt Reminder
Light
When the key is turned to “Run” or
“Start,” a chime
will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people
to fasten
their safety belts, unless
the driver’s
safety belt is already buckled. The safety
belt light will also come
on and stay on
until the driver’s belt is buckled.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety Belt Use during
Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Like all occupants, they
are more likely to be seriously injured if
they don’t wear safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion
should be worn as low as possible
rhroughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother. When a safety belt
is
worn properly, it’s more likely that the
fetus won’t be
hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key
to making safety belts effective
is wearing
them properly.

The right front passenger’s safety belt
works the same way as the driver’s safety
belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When a new Camaro is delivered, the
dealer removes the plugs from the door
keys and gives them to the first owner.
The ignition keys don’t have plugs.
Instead, they have bar-coded key tags.
These tags may be removed by your
dealer or even before
the car is delivered to
your dealer.
Each plug has
a code on it that tells your
dealer or
a qualified locksmith how to
make extra door keys. Keep the plugs in
a
safe place. If you lose your door keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made
using these plugs. If
you need
a new ignition key, go to you1
Chevrolet dealer, who can obtain the
correct key code. In an emergency, call
Chevrolet Roadside Assistance at
1 -800-CHEV-USA.
NOTICE:
Your Chevrolet has a number of new
features that can help prevent theft.
But you can have a lot of trouble get-
ting into your vehicle
if you ever lock
your keys inside.
You may even have
to damage your vehicle to get in. So
be sure you have extra keys.

Remote Lock Control (Option)
If your Chevrolet has this option, you can
lock and unlock your doors or unlock
your hatch from about
30 feet (9 m) using
the key chain transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your Remote Lock Control operates on a
radio frequency subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation. Should interference
to this system occur,
try this:
0 Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
0 Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
0 Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
See your Chevrolet dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system
by other than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use
this equipment.
Operation
The driver’s door will unlock
automatically when “UNLOCK’ is
pressed. If “UNLOCK” is pressed again
within five seconds, the passenger door
will also unlock. All doors will
lock when
“DOOR” is pressed. The hatch will
unlock when the opened trunk symbol is
pressed, but only when the ignition switch
is not
in “Run”, and the transmission is in
“P’ (Park) if you have an automatic
transmission. If you have a manual transmission, the
parking brake must be
set.
The system will
turn on the interior lights
for about
40 seconds, or until the ignition
switch is turned to “Run”, when you
unlock the doors or hatch. The interior
lights will come on for about two seconds
when you lock the doors.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each key chain 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,
the remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is
coded, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle.

You can match a transmitter to as many
different vehicles
as you own, provided
they are equipped with exactly
the same
model system. (General Motors offers
several different models of these systems
on their vehicles.) Each vehicle can have
only two transmitters matched to
it.
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Find the Data Link Connector (DLC).
It is
in the bottom of the instrument
panel near the steering column.
2. Insert one end of a fused jumper into
terminal

terminal on the far right.

“A” is the bottom terminal on the far

3. Insert the other end of the fused

line. You should hear the door locks lock
and unlock within one to three seconds.
When matching transmitters, the first
transmitter code matched
will be stored in
both memories until a second transmitter
is matched. This means
that the second transmitter
will not work until
it is
matched
in step 5.
4. Press any button on the first
transmitter. The door locks should
lock and unlock.
5. Press any button on the second
transmitter. The door locks should
lock and unlock.
6. Remove the fused jumper from the

will not work unless
the jumper
is removed.

[f the transmitters don’t work, or if you’d
rather not match the transmitters yourself,
see your Chevrolet dealer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in
some cities. Although your Chevrolet 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.
Key in the ignition: If you walk away
from 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 Chevrolet and open
the driver’s door, you’ll hear a tone
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 transmission, taking
your key out also locks your transmission.
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.
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
ignition key? What if you have to leave
something valuable in your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your glove box.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
PASS-Key@ZZ
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. This means you don’t have
to do
anything different to arm or disarm the
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.
