Starting And Operating Your Vehicle; New Vehicle Break-In - Chevrolet Uplander Owner's Manual

To program the new key, do the following:
1. Verify the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the original, already programmed key into
the ignition lock cylinder and start the engine. If the
engine will not start, see your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF
and remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to RUN
within 10 seconds of removing the previous key.
5. The security message will turn off once the key has
been programmed. It may not be apparent that the
security message went on due to how quickly the
key is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are to
be programmed.
If you are ever driving and the security message comes
on and stays on, you will be able to restart your
engine if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key
however, is not working properly and must be serviced
by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
®
PASS-Key III system at this time.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key
have a new key made.

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:
•
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 4-41 for more information.
