Testing the Alarm The alarm can be tested by following these steps: 1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver's window ar?d open the driver's door. 2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the power door lock switch while the door is open, or with the remote keyless entry transmitter. 3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for the SECURITY light to go out. 4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door with the manual door lock and open the door. This should set off the alarm. If the alarm does not sound when it should but the vehicle's headlamps 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 5-95. If the alarm does not sound or the vehicle's headlamps do not flash, the vehicle should be serviced by an authorized service center. During normal operation, the SECURITY light will go off approximately five seconds after the key is turned to RUN. If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes, wait about 10 minutes 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 does not start after three tries, the vehicle needs service. If the engine is running and the SECURITY message comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if you turn the engine off. However, your Passlock@ systemis not working properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock@ this time. You may also want to check at the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-95. See your dealer for service. In an emergency, call the GM Roadside Assistance Center. See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-6. 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. 2-17
