Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0260.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle is equipped with the
PASS-Key®III+ (Personalized Automotive
Security System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key III+ is a passive theft deterrent
system.
The system is automatically armed when
the key is removed from the ignition.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm
the system.
The security light will come on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming the
theft-deterrent system.
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 still does not start, and the
key appears to be undamaged, try another
ignition key. If the engine still does not
start with the other key, the vehicle needs
service. If the vehicle does start, the first
key may be faulty. See your dealer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key III+
to have a new key made.

Chevrolet Express Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16547501) - 2023 - CRC - 6/10/22
Keys, Doors, and Windows 17
It is possible for the PASS-Key III+ decoder to
learn the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to eight keys may be
programmed for the vehicle. This procedure
is for learning additional keys only. If all the
currently programmed keys are lost or do
not operate, you must see your dealer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-Key III+ to
have keys made and programmed to the
system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can
service PASS-Key III+ to get a new key blank
that is cut exactly as the ignition key that
operates the system.
To program the new key:1. Verify the new key has
1stamped
on it.
2. Insert the original, already programmed key into the ignition lock cylinder and
start the engine. If the engine will not
start, see your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the ignition off and remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn the ignition on within 10 seconds of
removing the previous key. The security message will turn off once
the key has been programmed. It may
not be apparent that the security
message went on due to how quickly
the key is programmed.
5. Repeat Steps 1–4 if additional keys are to be programmed.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key III+ key,
see your dealer or a locksmith who can
service PASS-Key III+ to have a new
key made.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms
or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in
the vehicle.Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{Warning
A convex mirror can make things, like
other vehicles, look farther away than
they really are. If you cut too sharply
into the next lane, you could hit a vehicle
that is driving next to you. Check the
inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder before changing lanes. If equipped, the lower portion of the driver
and passenger side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror's surface is curved so more
can be seen from the driver seat. The
convex mirror can be adjusted manually to
the driver preferred position for better
vision.
Manual Mirrors
Adjust the mirrors by moving the mirror up
and down and left and right.
The mirrors can be manually folded
in or out.
On the lower portion of each mirror is an
auxiliary convex mirror. A convex mirror's
surface is curved so you can see more from
the driver seat. The auxiliary convex mirrors
can be adjusted manually by moving the
mirror.

on when the vehicle is shifted in R (Reverse),
and turns off when the vehicle is shifted out
of R (Reverse).
Troubleshooting
If the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and a blue
screen is displayed in the mirror and then
the display shuts off, see your dealer for
service.
SeeRear Vision Camera (RVC) 0146.

doors can be locked, the interior lamps can
be turned off, and the hazard warning
flashers can be turned off using the controls
for those features. If any of these systems
are damaged in the crash they may not
operate as normal.
{Warning
A crash severe enough to inflate the
airbags may have also damaged
important functions in the vehicle, such
as the fuel system, brake and steering
systems, etc. Even if the vehicle appears
to be drivable after a moderate crash,
there may be concealed damage that
could make it difficult to safely operate
the vehicle.
Use caution if you should attempt to
restart the engine after a crash has
occurred.In many crashes severe enough to inflate
the airbag, windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional windshield
breakage may also occur from the front
outboard passenger airbag.
.Airbags are designed to inflate only once.
After an airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the airbag system.
If you do not get them, the airbag
system will not be there to help protect
you in another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for the vehicle
covers the need to replace other parts.
.The vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records
information after a crash. See
Vehicle
Data Recording and Privacy 0262 and
Event Data Recorders 0262.
.Let only qualified technicians work on the
airbag systems. Improper service can
mean that an airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for service.
Airbag On-Off Switch
If the instrument panel has one of the
switches pictured in the following
illustrations, the vehicle has an airbag on-off
switch that you can use to manually turn
on or off the front outboard passenger
airbag. No other airbag is affected by the
airbag on-off switch.

frontal airbag, insert the ignition key into
the airbag on-off switch, push in, and move
the switch to the OFF position.

passenger airbag is off. See Airbag On-Off
Light 076. The front outboard passenger
airbag will remain off until you turn it back
on again.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on and stays on, it means that
something may be wrong with the airbag
system. For example, the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag could inflate
even though the airbag on-off switch is
turned off.
To help avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right away. See
Airbag Readiness Light 075 for more
information, including important safety
information.
