Turn the ignition to the RUN position, then to the
OFF position. This will disarm the Vehicle and
Content Theft-DeterrendAlarm System (if your
vehicle has this option).
Remove the RADIO fuse. This fuse is located in the
main fuse block, located on the left side
of your main
instrument panel. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
Turn the ignition switch from the
OFF to the RUN
position three times quickly (within five seconds).
The vehicle will respond by locking the doors,
unlocking the driver’s doors and releasing the hatch.
Your transmitter is now ready
to match the vehicle.
Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
on
the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The vehicle will
respond as in step
3.
Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.
When you have finished matching all
of your
transmitters, replace the
RADIO fuse.
Check that all transmitters work by pressing
their buttons.
If the transmitters don’t work, or if you’d rather not match
the transmitters yourself, see your Chevrolet dealer.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location. If
you have to
get close
to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
Use one battery, type CR2032, or a similar type.

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. 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 trunk
or glove box.
0 Lock the glove box.
@ Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the
door key with you.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Arming the System Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
Passive arming is also available, if you would like the
system to arm all by itself after the doors have been
closed for a short time. When the system is armed, a red
light will flash briefly once every two seconds. (Note:
If
you return to your vehicle and the red light is flashing
two brief flashes every two seconds, the system is armed
and the shock sensor had triggered a two minute alarm.
If the red light is flashing three times every two seconds,
the system is armed and there was an intrusion that
sounded the alarm). Horn chirps and parking lamp
flashes can be set to your choice.
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with
the transmitter will immediately arm the system. The
horn will chirp twice and the parking lamps will flash,
confirming that the system is armed.
If any door is open
when the transmitter
LOCK button is pressed, the
system goes into an armed wait mode, waiting for the
doors to close. Once they are closed, the system will
arm, chirp the horn twice and flash the parking lamps.
If the hatch is open or ajar at the time the system is
arming, the horn will only chirp once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch
is pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm and flash the parking lamps.
If all of the
doors are closed when the lock switch is pressed, the
system assumes
you are inside the vehicle, so it will not
arm. Note: Locking the doors by using the manual door
locks will not arm the system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Passive Arming
If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened, the system will arm
six seconds after all doors
are closed, whether or not you lock them. In all other
cases, the
system will wait 30 seconds after all doors are
closed before arming, allowing you time to get into the
vehicle and put the key in the ignition. The parking
lamps will flash when the system arms. Passive arming
is not enabled from the factory.
Disarming the System
There are two ways to disarm the system:
1. Press the UNLOCK button on the key chain transmitter.
If the horn chirps two or three times when you unlock the
car, the alarm sounded in your absence. Two chirps
means that the shock sensor was set
off and three chirps
means that a door
or the hatch was opened.
2. Turn the ignition to the RUN position with the
proper key.
For more information on customizing the features
mentioned here, see “Feature Customization”
in the Index.
lhrning Off the Alarm
If you started the alarm by pressing the panic button on
the key chain transmitter, you must either push that button again or
turn the ignition switch to the ON
position
to stop the alarm.
If the alarm is sounding due
to the shock sensor or a
door or hatch opening, it can be turned off by either
turning the ignition switch with a proper key inserted or
by pressing any button
on the key chain transmitter. If
you use your key chain transmitter to silence the alarm,
additional things will happen depending upon which
button
you press.

Pressing the UNLOCK button will turn the alarm

seconds will turn the alarm off and will unlock and
disarm the hatch only.

key was used, press any button on the key chain
transmitter
to turn the alarm off.
The alarm will stop by itself after two minutes.
