If you get the overheat warning but see or hear no steam, the problem
may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot
when you:
0 Climb a long hill on a hot day.
0 Stop after high speed driving.
0 Idle for long periods in traffic.
Tow a trailer.
If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam, try this for a
minute or
so:
1. Turn off your air conditioner.

If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can drive. Just to be safe, -
drive slower for about ten minutes. If the warning doesn’t come back on, 1
you can drive normally.
If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle right

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to check your
brake fluid. See “Periodic Maintenance Inspections” in the Index.
To Check Brake Fluid:
I
You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. Just look at the
windows on the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid levels should be above
“MIN.” If they aren’t, have your brake system checked to see if there is a %
leak.
7-
After work is done on the brake hydraulic system, make sure the levels
are above “MIN” and below the top
of each window.
What to Add:
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as
Delco Supreme
11 @ (GM Part No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container only.

Keep belts clean and dry.
A CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it may severely
weaken them. In a crash they might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and
lukewarm water.
GLASS
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No.
1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco
smoke and dust films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals
on the inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WINDSHIELD
AND mPER BLADES
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running,
wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.
Clean the outside
of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner,
Bon-Ami Powder@ (GM Part
No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if
beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on
a regular basis and replaced when
worn.

Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
