Brake linings should be periodi­
cally inspected for wear by a quali­
fied technician. The frequency of
this inspection depends upon driv­
ing conditions such
as traffic or
terrain, and also the driving tech­
niques of individual owners. Your
Chevrolet Dealer
is best qualified
to advise you
as to how often this
inspection should be performed.
When replacement
is required,
specify GM and Delco parts.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER:
The headlamp circuit is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your
wiring circuits checked immediately. Also, a circuit breaker, mounted on the firewall, protects the power window and power seat circuits if vehicle is so equipped. Where current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
intermittently opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the cause is found and eliminated.
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:
Radio, TCS, Rear Defogger

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse, 30 amp. is located in an I n-line fuse holder running from horn relay to Air Conditioning relay.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above.
Fusible Links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire
wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.
