Passlock

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.
If the engine stalls and the security light flashes, wait
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 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
properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your
vehicle is not protected by Passlock
may also want to check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-110. See your dealer for service.
In an emergency, call the GM Roadside Assistance
Center. See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-6.

New Vehicle Break-In

Notice: Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break-in. But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
•
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less
for the first 500 miles (805 km).
•
Do not drive at any one speed — fast or
slow — for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Do not make full-throttle starts.
•
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles
(322 km) or so. During this time your new brake
linings are not yet broken in. Hard stops with new
linings can mean premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
•
Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See Towing a
Trailer on page 4-62 for more information.
