damaged or missing resistor pellet, you will see no
SECURITY light. You don't have to wait three minutes
before trying the proper key.
If the resistor pellet is damaged or missing, the starter

Chevrolet dealer or a locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key@ to have a new key made.
If the SECURITY light comes on while driving, have

If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@ ignition key, see

Roadside Assistance Program at 1 -800-CHEV-USA
(1-800-243-8872).
