Canada Only - Chevrolet Colorado 2012 Owner's Manual

Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, activate
the system by locking the doors
with the RKE transmitter.
2. Unlock the door with the manual
door lock and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
3. To turn the alarm off, press the
UNLOCK button on the RKE
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 10 40.
If the alarm does not sound or the
front turn signal lamps do not flash,
see your dealer for service.

Immobilizer Operation
(PASS-Key III+

Canada Only)

This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the key is turned to
ON/RUN.
You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system.
The security light comes on if there
is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system.

Keys, Doors, and Windows
The key uses a transponder that
matches an immobilizer control unit
in the vehicle. Only the correct key
starts the vehicle. If the key is ever
damaged, the vehicle may not start.
When trying to start the vehicle,
if the engine does not start and the
security light comes on, there may
be a problem with the theft-deterrent
system. 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. Check the
fuse. See Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 10 40. 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 who
can service the theft-deterrent
system and have a new key made.
