STOWING THINGS IN (OR ON) THE CAR
CAUTION: luggage or other cergo should not be piled higher than the seatbacks, When at all possible, luggage or cargo should be C8rrifHj in the trunk area. The filler panel or cargo cover, between the rear 88atback and the rear window should not be used to carry objects-even those that are small and light. All nems should be secured in place. This will help keep such things from being thrown about and Injurying people in the car during an accident. Cargo weight whether inside or on the roof, should be positioned as evenly as possible from front to rear.
ROOF LUGGAGE CARRIER
The optional roof luggage carrier is designed to allow loading of items onto the
roof
of your car. The roof luggage carrier does not increase the total load carrying
capacity of th e car , as shown opposite "Max Load" on the Tire Placard located
on the left front door. Be sure the total weight of the cargo on the roof, plus the
weight
of the cargo and passe ngers inside the car, plus the tongue load of any
trailer you are towing does
,1;10t exc_eed this "Max Load" vehicle capacity weight. See Section 5, page "5-11 for more information on Vehicle Loading . Also see the
infonnation on Trailer Towing
in Section 1 of this manual . if needed .
NOTICE:To helpayoid pOSSible damage, do not exceed 70 kilograms (1 50 pounds), cargo weight on the roof. Position the cargo in the luggage carrier as evenly as: pOssible. If carrying long items, never exceed car length and fasten such loads securely at the front and rear of the car, as well as to the luggage rack.
The roof luggage carrier consists of: five roof slats bolted to the top of the car,
two crossrails with knobs at each end th~t allow the crossrails to be adjusted or removed, and six' adjustable tie-downs.
The operation
of each item is as follows: the crossrails are easily adjusted forward
or rearward in order to help position your load. To move the crossrails , rotate
the large adjustable knob, ··No. 3" in the figure above. counterclockwise to loosen
(or remove) the crossrails and 'clockwise to tighten down the cros srails. Attached

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: As with any machine, take care when making any check, doing any maintenance. or making any repair. t6ayoid being injured. Note that some of the materials in this vehicle may be hazardous if used, serviced, or handled improperly. Improper or incomplete serVice could also lead to the vehicle itself not working properly which may result in personal injury, or damage to the vehicle or its equipment. If you have any question about carrying out some service, have the service done by 8 skilled mechanic.
REPLACEMENT FASTENERS
During car maintenance, any fasteners used to replace older ones must have the
same measurements and strength as those removed, whether metric or customary. (The numbers on the heads of metric bolts and on the surfaces of metric nuts show
their strength. Customary bolts use radial lines to show this, while most customary
nuts
do not have strength markings.) Fasteners taken from the car should be saved
for re-use in the same spot when possible. Where a fastener cannot be used again,
take care to choose a replacement that matches the old one.
For information and help, see your Chevrolet dealer.
CAUTION: This vehicle is primarily dimensioned in the metric system, Most fasteners are i'neti'icand many lire vary closein dimension to well-known customary fasteners in the inch system. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in damage to the car or possibly personal injury.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
For owner convenience , a separate folder has been provided with your vehicle
which contains a complete maintenance schedule. It also briefly describes the
safety, emission control, lubrication and general service your vehicle requires.
The Maintenance Schedule folder is supplemented by this section of the Owner's
Manual, as well as a Warranty Information folder also furnished with your vehicle.
Read all three publications for a full understanding
of your vehicle's maintenance
needs.
You can get a replacement Maintenance Schedule from your dealer or send the VIN(or serial) number of your vehicle to Consumer Relations, Chevrolet Central
Office, Chevrolet Motor Division, Detroit, Michigan 48202.
Fuel Cap
The fuel tank filler cap has a "screw-on ratcheting type" feature. To·remove:
•
Rotate cap counterclockwise to clear the inside of the filler neck. This
will allow any residual pressure
to escape.
• To install, reverse this procedure and tighten cap securely until a "ratcheting", clicking sound is heard indicating cap is on properly.
NOTICE: If you need to replace the fuel cap, use only a cap with these same features as specified for your model. An incorrect fuel cap can result in a serious malfunction of the fuel system or emission control system. You can get a correct replacement cap from your dealer.

may be speeded by removing the drain plugs in the block.)
4. Close the drain valve (install block drain plugs, if removed). Add water until
the system is filled and run the engine until the upper radiator hose is hot again.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 several times until the drained liquid is nearly colorless.
6. Drain the system and then close the radiator drain valve tightly. (Install block
drain plugs, if removed.)
7. Disconnect all hoses from the coolant recovery tank. Remove the tank and
pour out any fluid. Scrub and clean the inside of the tank with soap and water.
Flush it well with clean water,
then drain it. Reinstall the tank and hoses.
8. Add enough water and ethylene glycol antifreeze (meeting GM Specification
1899-M)to provide the required cooling, freezing, and corrosion protection. Use a solution that is at least 50 percent antifreeze, but no more than 70
percent antifreeze. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck and fill the
coolant recovery
tank to the "Full Hot" mark. Put the recovery tank cap back
on.
9. Run the engine, with the radiator cap removed, until the upper radiator hose
is hot.
10. With the engine idling, add coolant to the radiator until it reaches the bottom
of the filler neck. Install the radiator cap, making sure the arrows on the cap line up with the overflow. tube.
It is the owner's responsibility to:
• Maintain cooling system freeze protection at _37°C (_34°F) to ensure
protection against corrosion and loss of coolant from boiling. (A SO/50
mixture of water and ethylene glycol antifreeze will provide freeze protection
to ~ 37°C ore -34°P.) You should do this even if you don't expect freezing
temperatures.
• Add ethylene glycol base antifreeze that meets GM Specification 1899-M
when antifreeze
hasto be added because of coolant loss or for more protection
' against freezing at temperatures lower than _37°C (-·J4°P).
NOTICE: Do not use alcohol or methanol-base antifreeze. or plain water alone. in your vehicle at any time. They will boil at a lower pOint than that at which the hot light indicator (or temperature gage) works. and they do not provide proper protection against corrosion.
Radiator Pressure Cap
The radiator cap, a 105 kPa(15 psi) pressure type, must be installed tightly,
otherwise coolant may be lost and damage to engine may result from overheating.
Radiator pressure caps should be checked periodically for proper operation.
If
replacement is required, an AC cap is recommended.
Thermostat
The engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat. It stops coolant flow
through the radiator until a preset temperature is reached. This thermostat is
installed in
the engine coolant outlet on the engine block. The same thermostat is used in both winter and summer. When a replacement is needed, AC~Delco parts
are recommended.

Use of chains may adversely affect your vehicle's handling. When using chains : (I) adjust speed to roa d conditions, (2) avoid sharp turns, and (3) when possible,
avoid
locked-wheel braking . In addition, to help preve nt chain -damage to your
vehicle:
• Install the chain s on the front tires as tightly as possible, then tighten again
after driving 114 to 1/2 mile (0 .4 to 0 .8 kilometer). The use of chains on the
rear tires is not recommended; the chains may contact and possibly damage
the
car. If you intend to use chains on the rear tires , m ake certain there is
enough clearance.
• Do not exceed 45 mph (76 km /h), or chain manufacturer's speed limit, jf
lower.
• Drive in a restrained manner and avoid large bumps. potholes, severe turns
and other maneuvers which could cause the tires to bounce up and down .
• Follow any other chain manufacturer's instructions which do no t disagre e
with the above.
If you purchase tire chains for your Citation, make sure they are designated as
SAE Class "S" type chains. U se of other types of chains may cause damage to
your car.
Spare Tire
For the use and installation of your spare tire, see "In Case of Emergency" Section
3
of this manual.
Tire Replacement
CAUTION: Do not mix different tire construction types of tires (such as rediel, bias, and bias.belted) on your vehieleexcept in emeruencies, because your vehicle's handling could be affected and may result In loss of contrOl. This caution does not a~y to 8 stowaway. compact,. or temporary spar. tlr. fumished with your vehtcle.
On most ve hicles originally equipped with radial tires, you will find a TPC Spec.
No. (Tir e Performan ce Criteria Specification Numbe-r) molded into the tire
sidewall ne
ar the tire size marking. This shows that the tire meets rigid size and
performanc e standards which were developed -for your vehicle. The TPC Spec.
No. assures a proper combination of endurance, handling, load capacity, ride, and
traction on wet , dry, and sn o w covered surfaces . When you re place your tires with
tires having the same
TPC Spec. No., your new tires will be co mpatible with your
vehicle.
When replacing tires with those not having a
TPC Spec. No., you should use the
same size, load range ,
and construction type (bias, bias-belted, or radial) "as the
original tires on your 'vehicle. Although it is not generally recommended. some
alpha-size and metri c- size tires can
be interchanged (for size equivalen cy contact
your Chevrolet dealer or a lire dealer). A different size or type of tire may affect
ride, handling, speedometer /odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance, and
tire
or tire chain clearance to the body or chassis . If replacing only a single tire,
it should be paired on the same axle with the least worn tire of the other three.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers; and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces
the hazard of electrically caused fires in the automobile.
The fuse junction box is located under the right side of the instrument panel.
The
headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on an,d off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens , have your headlight wiring checked right away. Besides a fuse, the windshield wiper motor is also protected by a circuit breaker. If the motor overheats, due to overloading caused by heavy snow, etc., the wiper ·will remain stopped until the motor cools. Be sure to have the cause of the over· loading corrected. Circuit breakers for power windows and power door locks are located on the bulkhead in the engine
compartment.
