Passlock
R
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
theft
-
deterrent system.
Passlock is a passive theft
-
deterrent system. Passlock
enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is turned with a
valid key. If a correct key is not used or the ignition lock
cylinder is tampered with, fuel is disabled and the
engine will not start.
During normal operation, the SECURITY message will
be displayed after the key is turned to the ON ignition
position. See “Message Center, Security” in the Index.
If the engine stalls and the SECURITY message flashes,
wait until the light stops flashing before trying to restart
the engine.
If the engine is running and the SECURITY message
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if you turn
the engine off. However, your Passlock system is not
working properly and must be serviced by your dealer.
Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at this time.
You may also want to check the fuse. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index. See your dealer for service.
In an emergency, contact Chevrolet Roadside
Assistance. See “Roadside Assistance” in the Index
for more information.
New Vehicle “Break

NOTICE:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate

-
throttle starts.
D Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken

-
in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
