When lowing  trailers using  a dead-weight  hitch,  inflate  tires  to the "Cold Tire 
Pressure" for ·'Max . Load" show n on  the  Tire Placard on the  left  front  door. 
The  allowable  passenger  and cargo  load  for this car, 
also sh o wn on· the  Tire 
Placard, is reduced  by the trailer  tongue  weight whenever the trailer is attached 
t o  the  car. 
Maintenance 
More  frequen.t  servic e is requi red  when  using your car to pull a trailer.  See Section 
A of the  Maint enance Schedule  folder for Tran saxle Fluid  and Engine Oil chang e 
requirement~ for traitering. 
Now  and then.  check  that all trailer  hitch bolts an d nuts  are tight.  Also see 
"the Maintenance  Schedule rol_def, and  the Index in this manual , for  important  facts 
o n 
belts, coo ling  system  care  and brake  adjustment. 
Break-In Schedule 
See the new car break~in instru ctions  in this manual.  Also,. we recommend  you 
drive  your new car for 
500 mil es (800 kilometer s) before  trailer tOwing. At the 
" end 
of this 500 mile (800 kilome te r)  break-in  period, avoid speeds over 50 mph (80 km/h)  and  full throttl e  start s during  the first  500 miles (800 kilometers)  of 
trailer  towing. 
If a new  engine  or  transaxle  is  ins talled  in you r car,  observe  the 
same 
care. 
CAUTIONS: 
Brakes  -To help avoid  personal  injury due to poor  braking  action: 
• Trailer brakes of adequate  size are required  on  trailer s over 450 kilograms 
(1,000  pounds) loaded  weight. 
• If you use trailer  brakes with  this car,  follow  the installation  and balan ce 
instructi ons 
of the trailer  brake maker. 
• Do nol lap into  the car's  brake  system if the trailer  brake system  uses more than 0.3 cubic  centimeter (0.02 cubic  inch) of nuid from  the ca r's master 
cylinder.  In this case, the car's  brake  fluid capacity will not be enough  to 
operate 
both the car and  trailer  brakes under all kind s, of use. 
• All  brak e fluid  parts  must be able to stand 20 685 kPa (3,000  psi). The brake 
fluid  tap must be made al th e upper rear  master  cylinder port. Copper  tubing is subject  to fatigue  failure and must  no t be used. 
• Before  going down a sleep  or  long grade , reduce speed  and shift  the tran saxle 
into  a lower  gear to control  your car's  speed. 
Try not to hold  the brake  pedal 
down too long or too  often.  This could  cause the brake s to  get  hot  and  not 
work 
as well. 
Hitches -To  help avoid  personal  injury due to  sway  caused by such things as 
c rosswind
s, big  trucks  passing or road roughn ess, or due to  sepa ration of the 
trailer : 
• Keep  the trailer  tongue  load  at 10% of the  loaded  trailer weight  for 
dead-w eight hitches.  Tongue loads can be adjusted  by proper distribution of the  load in the  trailer. This can  be checked by weighing separately the  loaded 
trailer  and then  the tongue, 
• When  you remove  a frailer  hitch, be  sure  to seal any  mountin g h'oles in the 
body . This will help  prevent entry of exhaust  fumes, dirt or water. (See 
"Engine Exhaust  Gas Caution  (Carbon Monoxide) " at the  beginning of "Starting and Operating," Section  2 of this manual.)

To install  the cargo  cover: 
1. Insert  the left  hinge  pin in the bracket  attached  to the  body of the  car. 
2. Slide the release  lever to the  right  to engage  hinge pin in the 'bracket.  See figure 
B. 
3. Move  the lever  up to lock  the cover in place. 
4. Reconnect  the rubber  'lifting  cords. 
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 
to  the  top 
of the crossrails  are two  adjustable  tie-downs, "No.4" in the  figure. 
Ther e is also one adjustable  lie-down located in the  center of each  outer  roof slat 
assembly  (also called 
"No.4" in the figure) . The  tie-downs  may be easily moved 
forward  and rearward  within the outer  slat  assembly  and across the  top 
of the 
crossrails  to the  desired  position. 
To move the tie-down . rotate it countetclockwise 
to  loosen  and clockwise  to tighten  down. If needed  to sec ure  a certain  type of lead, 
the  tie-downs  on the 
crossratls may be removed  and repos itioned  on the  outer  roof 
slat assemblies. While underway, periodically check to make sure that 
the crossrails and the tie-downs are securely fastened to help 
prevent loss of cargo, or the roof rack equipment itself. 
The  crossrails  may be removed when not in use  and  stowed in the  trunk or behind 
the  second  seat on the  rear  load  floor  (with  the carg o cover  installed) in hatchback 
style
s. When  stowing  the cressrails, al5..1 attach  the tie-downs  from the outer  roof

Maximum Luggage Compartment  Load 
Coupe 155 Pounds/70.2 Kilograms 
Sedan 142 Pounds/64.5 Kilograms 
NOTICE: Total combined  weight of luggage compartment 
load,  luggage  rack load (when-equipped) •. and passengers must  not exceed  the vehicle capacity  weight (shown  on the Tire  Placard lOcated on the.left front door). 
Inflation Pressure 
The: cold  inflation  pressures  listed on the Tire Placard provide for the best  balance 
of tire life, riding comfort. and vehicle  handling under normal driving  conditions. 
If only one  inflation pressure is recommended  on the Tire Placard,  this pressure 
should  be used  for aU vehicle  loading  conditions. If your vehicle has two inflation 
pressures  listed on the  placard,  the "Max LDad" pressures  can be used  any time, 
but  must  be used  when  you carry  more passengers  and cargo  than is allowed  in 
the "Optional  Pressures" section. The "Optional  Pressures" can be used in lightly 
loaded  conditions  by 
'those who  prefer the utmost in comfort.  In all  loading 
conditions,  use of the "Max Load" pressures will result  in improved  fuel economy. 
Incorrect  tire inflation  pressures 
can have adverse  effects on tire life and_vehicle performance.  Too Iowan" air pressure·"causes increased tire flexing and heat 
build-up.  This weakens  the tire and increases  the chance of damage  or failure. It 
can  result  in tire  overloading,  abnormal tire wear,  adverse  vehicle handling,  and 
reduced  fuel mileage.  'I'oohigh 
an air pressure  can result  in abnormal  wear, harsh 
ride, and also increase  the chance of dar:nage from road hazards. 
Tire  inflation  pressures  should be checked  (this includes  the spare  tire, unless  it 
is a stowaway  spare) and whenever your vehicle is serviced.  Always checJ<.,tire 
inflation pressures  when tires are "cold." 
1. The "cold" tire  inflation  pressure applies to the  tire  pressure  when a vehicle 
has 
not·  been driven  more than-one  mile (1.6 kilometers)  after sitting  for three 
hours  or more. 
2. It is normal  for tire  pressures  to increase 30 to 60 kilopascals (4 to 8 pounds 
per  square  inch) 
or more when  the tires  become  hot from  driving. Do not "bleed" or reduce tire inflation  pressures  after driving  your vehicle.  Bleeding 
reduces  the 
"cold" inflation  pressure and increase  tire flexing,  which can 
result  in tire  damage  and failure. 
3. FOr sustained driving at speeds of 75 mph to 85 mph (120 km/h to 140 km/h),in countries  where such speeds are permitted  by law, cold 
inflation  pressures  must be increased 
30 kPa (4 psi)  above  the cold  inflation 
pressures  stated on the  Tire  Placard up to the maximum for each  load 
range  stated  in 
the_ chart below. 
Sustained speeds of 75 mph to 85 mph (120 km/h to 140 km/h) ARE 
NOT ADVISED when the 30 kPa (4 psi)  adjustment  would require pressures greater than the maximum for each  load  range  stated on the chart.  Sustained 
driving at speeds over 85 mph (140 km/h), where permitted by law. IS NOT ADVISED unless your vehicle is equipped  with special high speed tires 
available from many  tire dealers. 
4. Forproper inflation  pressures  when towing  trailers,  see page 1-11 in this 
manuat

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Tire Chains or Similar Traction Devices 
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.

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.
