Your vehicle has the PASS-Key@ Ill vehicle theft

matches a decoder in the vehicle's steering column.
If a replacement key or any additional key is needed,
you must purchase this key from your dealer. The
key will have PK3 stamped on it. Keep the bar code tag
that came with the original keys. Give this tag to your
dealer if you need a new key made.
Any new PASS-Key@

key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. See PASS-Key 111 on
page 2-29 for more information on programming
your new key.
Notice: Your vehicle has a number of features
that can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your keys inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have
spare keys.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call the
Chevrolet Roadside Assistance center. See Roadside
Assistance Program on page 7-5.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Onstar@ system with
an active subscription and you lock your keys inside
the vehicle, Onstar@ may be able to send a command to
unlock your vehicle. See Onstat@ System
on
page 2-46
