yellowblue Parking Lots If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it's best to lock it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your key? During normal operation, the THEFT SYSTEM light will go off approximately five seconds after the key is turned to the ON ignition position. If the engine stalls and the THEFT SYSTEM 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 THEFT SYSTEM light comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if you turn the engine off. However, your Passlock system is not working properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at this time. You may also want to check the fuses (see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index). See your dealer for service. In an emergency, call the Chevrolet Roadside Assistance Center at 1-800-CHEV-USAR (1-800-243-8872). In Canada call 1-800-268-6800. D If possible, park in a busy, well lit area.
