Chevrolet Monte 2003 - Starting and Operating Your Vehicle

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 and
the engine will not start.
During normal operation, the SECURITY message will
be displayed after the key is turned to the ON ignition
position. See
Security Message on page 3-49 .
If the engine stalls and the SECURITY message
flashes, wait until the light stops flashing before trying to
restart the engine.
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
®
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 fuse.
See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-91 . See your
dealer for service.
In an emergency, contact Chevrolet Roadside
Assistance. See
Roadside Assistance Program on
page 7-5
for more information.
Starting and Operating Your

New Vehicle Break-In
Notice: Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
• Don’t drive at any one speed — fast or
slow — for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
• Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles
(322 km) or so. During this time your new
brake linings aren’t 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.
• Don’t tow a trailer during break-in. See “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for more information.
