When trying to start the
vehicle, if the engine does
not start and the
SECURITY light comes on,
the key may have a
damaged transponder.
Turn the ignition off and
try again.
If the engine does not start, and the key appears to be
undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse. See
Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 5-93. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, your vehicle needs
service. If your vehicle does start, the ®rst key may be
faulty. See your dealer who can service the PASS-Key
ž
III to have a new key made.It is possible for the PASS-Key
žIII 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.
Canadian Owners:If you lose or damage your keys,
only a GM dealer can service PASS-Key
žIII to
have new keys made. To program additional keys you
will require two current driver's keys (black in color). You
must add a step to the following procedure. After
Step 2, repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the second current
driver's key. Then continue with Step 3.
To program the new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the current driver's 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 ON
within 10 seconds of removing the previous key.

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever located on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
·Turn and Lane Change Signals
·Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
·Flash-To-Pass
For information on the exterior lamps, see
Exterior
Lamps on page 3-16.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever on the left side of the
steering wheel all the way up or down. The lever returns
automatically when the turn is complete.
An arrow located on the
instrument panel cluster
will ¯ash in the direction of
the turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ¯ash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is
complete. The lever returns when it is released.
If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a mile to remind
you to turn it off.
Arrows that ¯ash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb.
Other drivers won't see the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs if
the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn. See
Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-93.

ignition is in ACC or ON and for 10 minutes after
turning the ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory
power outlet to operate regardless of ignition position,
and for extended periods of time, see your dealer
for more information.
Notice:When using an accessory power outlet,
maximum electrical load must not exceed amperage
rating. Always turn off any electrical equipment
when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain your battery.Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible
to the accessory power outlet and could result in
blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem see your dealer for additional information on the
accessory power plugs.
Notice:Adding some electrical equipment to your
vehicle can damage it or keep other things from
working as they should. This wouldn't be covered by
your warranty. Check with your dealer before
adding electrical equipment, and never use anything
that exceeds the amperage rating.
Follow the proper installation instructions that are
included with any electrical equipment you install.
Notice:Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory
or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.

CAUTION: (Continued)
·
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. ªEnglishº and ªmetricº
fasteners can be easily confused. If you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.
Adding Equipment to the Outside of
Your Vehicle
Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle can
affect the air¯ow around it. This may cause wind
noise and affect windshield washer performance. Check
with your dealer before adding equipment to the
outside of your vehicle.
Fuel
Use of the recommended fuel is an important part of the
proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Gasoline Octane
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane of
87 or higher. However, for best performance and for
trailer towing, you may wish to use middle grade
or premium unleaded gasoline. If the octane is less than
87, you may get a heavy knocking noise when you
drive. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87 octane
or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might
damage your engine.

Power Steering Fluid
The power steering ¯uid reservoir is located next to the
underhood fuse block on the passenger's side of the
vehicle. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page 5-12for more information on location.
When to Check Power Steering Fluid
It is not necessary to regularly check power steering ¯uid
unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or
you hear an unusual noise. A ¯uid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired.
How to Check Power Steering Fluid
Turn the key off, let the engine compartment cool down,
wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean, then
unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then
remove the cap again and look at the ¯uid level on the
dipstick.
The level should be at the FULL COLD mark. If
necessary, add only enough ¯uid to bring the level up to
the mark.
What to Use
To determine what kind of ¯uid to use, seePart D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-15.
Always use the proper ¯uid. Failure to use the proper
¯uid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
5-38

Windshield Washer Fluid
What to Use
When you need windshield washer ¯uid, be sure to read
the manufacturer's instructions before use. If you will
be operating your vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below freezing, use a ¯uid that has
sufficient protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
When your vehicle's windshield washer ¯uid level
becomes low, a CHECK WASHER FLUID message will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). You
will need to add ¯uid soon.
The windshield washer
¯uid reservoir is located
next to the underhood fuse
block on the passenger's
side of the vehicle.
See
Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12for
reservoir location.
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer
¯uid until the tank is full.
Notice:
·When using concentrated washer ¯uid,
follow the manufacturer's instructions for
adding water.
·Don't mix water with ready-to-use washer ¯uid.
Water can cause the solution to freeze and
damage your washer ¯uid tank and other parts
of the washer system. Also, water doesn't
clean as well as washer ¯uid.
·Fill your washer ¯uid tank only three-quarters
full when it's very cold. This allows for
expansion if freezing occurs, which could
damage the tank if it is completely full.
·Don't use engine coolant (antifreeze) in your
windshield washer. It can damage your
washer system and paint.

4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminal locations on the other
vehicle. Your vehicle has a remote (+) jump starting
terminal and a remote negative (-) jump starting
terminal. You should always use these remote
terminals instead of the terminals on the battery.
The remote positive (+)
terminal is located in the
engine compartment
on the passenger's side of
the vehicle. A second
remote positive (+) terminal
is located on the rear
underseat fuse block. Lift
the red plastic cap to
access the terminal.
The remote negative (-) terminal is located near
the power steering ¯uid reservoir. It is marked
ªGND (-).º See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page 5-12for more information on location.You will not see the battery of your vehicle under
the hood. It is located under the rear passenger's
seat. You will not need to access the battery
for jump starting. The remote positive (+) terminal is
for that purpose.
{CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the
engine is not running and can injure you. Keep
hands, clothing and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.
