Chevrolet camaro 2001 User Manual

If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened, the system will arm six seconds after both doors
are closed, whether or not you lock them. In all other
cases, the system will wait 30 seconds after both doors
are closed before arming, allowing you time to get into
the vehicle and put the key in the ignition. The parking
lamps will flash when the system arms.

The vehicle is shipped from the factory with this feature
turned off. To turn this feature on, see “Feature
Customization” in the Index.

There are two ways to disarm the system:
D Press the UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry

transmitter. If the horn chirps two or three times when
you unlock the vehicle, the alarm sounded in your
absence. Two chirps means that the shock sensor was
set off and three chirps means that a door or the hatch
was opened.

D Turn the ignition key to RUN.
For more information on customizing the features
mentioned here, see “Feature Customization” in

Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS

Key II

(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft

deterrent system.

PASS

-

Key II is a passive

theft

-

deterrent system. 

It works when you insert 
or remove the key from 
the ignition.

PASS

-

Key II uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key

that matches a decoder in your vehicle.

When the PASS

-

Key II system senses that someone is

using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and
fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter won’t
work and fuel won’t go to the engine. If someone tries to
start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone
from randomly trying different keys with different resistor
pellets in an attempt to make a match.

The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start.
