Everyone 111 a vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants and all children smaller than adult size. In fact,
the law
in every state in the United States and in every
Canadian province says children
up to some age must be
restrained while
in a vehicle.
Smaller children and babies should always be
restrained in a child or infant restraint. The
instructions for the restraint will say whether
it is the right type and size for your child.
A
very young child’s hip bones are so small that a
regular belt might not stay low on the hips, as it
should. Instead, the belt will likely be over the
child’s abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply
force right on the child’s abdomen, which could
cause serious or fatal injuries.
So, be sure that
any child small enough for one is always properly
restrained in a child or infant restraint.

7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to

To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let it
go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and
be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.

Securing a Child Restraint in the Center
Rear Seat Position
n
You’ll be using the lap belt.
A child in a child restraint in the center front seat
can be badly injured by the right front passenger
air bag
if it inflates. Never secure a child restraint
in the center front seat. It’s always better to
secure a child restraint in the rear seat. You
may,
however, secure a forward-facing child restraint
in the right front passenger seat, but only with
the seat moved all the way back.
See the earlier part about the top strap if the child
restraint has one.

directions to be sure it is secure. If
it isn’t, secure the
restraint in

about how
to attach the child restraint properly.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s

Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
U
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
v1 AUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s
air bag inflates. This is because the back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.

ignition only.
The door keys are for the
doors and all other locks.
When a new Chevrolet 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. Your Chevrolet
dealer or Roadside Assistance has the code for
your keys.
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 easily using
these plugs.
If you need a new ignition key, contact your Chevrolet
dealer who can obtain the correct key code, or, in
an
emergency, call Chevrolet Roadside Assistance at

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 leave 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 chime 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 and transaxle. 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
Tf you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best
to lock it up and take your keys.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PASS-Key@ II
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key IT is
a passive
theft-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key I1 uses
a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches
a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
TI system senses that sonleone 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 stcart. 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. If the
engine does not start and the SECURITY light is on, 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 “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
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 Chevrolet dealer or
a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key 11.

C
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to
five positions:
ACC (A): This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off. To
use ACC (Accessory), push in the key and turn it toward
you. Your steering wheel will stay locked.
LOCK-(B): Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK. It’s also the only position
in which you can remove your key. This position locks your
ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s a
theft-deterrent feature.
OF” (C): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering .wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering
wheel like LOCK. Use
OFF if you must have your
vehicle pushed
or towed.
RUN (D): This position is where the key returns after you
start your vehicle. With the engine off, you can use RUN
to display some of your warning and indicator lights.
START (E): This position starts your engine.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s
door when the ignition is in
OFF, LOCK or ACC and
the key is in the ignition.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn
it, be sure it is all the way in. If it is, then
turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a tool to force it could break
the key or the ignition switch. If none
of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
