Trunk lock
To unlock the trunk from the outside,
insert the door
key and turn it.
Remote Trunk Release (OPTION)
Pull upward on the remote release
handle, located on the floor near the left
side
of the driver’s seat, to release the
trunk lid.
Lockout Feature:
The remote trunk release is equipped
with a lockout feature to help prevent
unauthorized entry into the trunk when
the vehicle is unattended. The switch
is
located on the inside of the trunk lid,
mounted
to the trunk lid latch.
To turn the lockout on, slide the switch
all the way to
the right. To turn the
lockout off, slide the switch all the way
to the
left.
When the lockout is on, the mechanical
remote trunk release will not release the
trunk lid. However, the trunk
lid can
still be opened with the key.

Glove Box Lock
(RS AND 2-24 MODELS)
Use the door key to lock and unlock the
glove box.
To open, pinch the handle, 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
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. If you have an automatic
transaxle, taking your key out also locks
your 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: 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?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your trunk or glove box. Use the
remote trunk release lockout feature,
if
so equipped. See Remote Trunk
Release earlier in this section.
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 Torque Lock
(AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE)
If you are parking on a hill and you
don’t shift
your transaxle into P (Park)
properly, the weight of the vehicle may
put too much force on the parking pawl
in the transaxle. You may find it difficult
to pull the
shift lever out of P (Park).
This
is called “torque lock.” To prevent
torque lock, always be sure to shift into
P (Park) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat.
To find out how, see the
Index under Shiftirtg Into P (Park),
When you are ready to drive, move the
shift lever out
of P (Park) before you
release the parking brake.
If torque lock does occur, you may need
to have another vehicle push yours a
little uphill to take some
of the pressure
from the transaxle,
so you can pull the
shift lever out
of P (Park).
Winter Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your Chevrolet in good shape for
winter. Be sure your engine coolant
mix is correct.
Snow tires can help in loose snow, but
they may give you less traction on ice
than regular tires.
If you do not expect
to be driving in deep snow, but may
have to travel over ice,
you may not
want to switch to snow tires at all.
You may want to put winter
emergency supplies in your trunk or
rear area.
Include an ice scraper, a small brush
or broom, a supply of windshield
washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer
clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight,
a
red cloth, and a couple of reflective
warning triangles. And, if you will be
driving under severe conditions,
include a small bag
of sand, a piece of
old carpet or a couple
of burlap bags
to help provide traction. Be sure you
properly secure these items
in your
vehicle.
