If you set off the alarm by accident, you can turn it off
by pressing unlock on the remote keyless entry
transmitter, starting the vehicle with the correct key, or
by having OnStar
®
unlock the doors. The alarm will
not stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, activate the system by
locking the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
2. Unlock the door with the manual door lock and
open the door. This should set off the pre-alarm.
Wait 10 seconds for the full alarm to activate.
3. To turn the alarm off, press the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter or start
the engine.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
lights flash, check to see if the horn works. The horn
fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, see Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-102.
If the alarm does not sound or the front turn signal
lamps do not flash, see your dealer/retailer for service.
Passlock
®
(U. S. Only)
Your vehicle has 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 an incorrect key is used or the
ignition lock cylinder is tampered with, the fuel system
is disabled and the vehicle will not start.
During normal operation, the security light will turn off
approximately five seconds after the engine is started.
See Security Light on page 3-39.
If the engine stalls and the security light flashes, wait
about 10 minutes until the light stops flashing before
trying to restart the engine. Remember to release
the key from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after three tries, the vehicle
needs service.
If the engine is running and the security light 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/retailer.
Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock
®
at this time.
See your dealer/retailer for service.
In an emergency, call the Roadside Assistance Center.
See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-6.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or
deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.
