1993 CHEVROLET BLAZER light

The transfer case shift lever is on the floor to the right of the driver. Use this
lever to shift into and
out of four-wheel drive. An indicator near t9e lever
shows you the transfer case settings:
4L
ON
2H
4H
The front axle portion of the indicator diagram will light up when you shift into
four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the indic\
ator’s lighting is
normal. If the indicator does not light up, or
if the front axle light does not go
out after you shift
out of four-wheel drive, have your dealer check your
system.
When your headlights or parking lights are
on, rotate the dial to the right of
your headlight switch
to adjust the brightness of your transfer case indicator
light. Rotate the dial up
to brighten, or down to dim, the indicator light.
Transfer Case Shift Positions
2H (High): This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle
is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4H (High): This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use
4H when you need extra traction, such as on wet or icy roads, or in
most
off -road situations.
2-31

Features & Contmls
N (Neutral): Shift to this setting only when your vehicle needs to be towed or
when using a power take
off.
4L (Low): This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction,
but should be used only for off-road or on extremely slippery surfaces.
You can shift from
2H to 4H or from 4H to 2H while the vehicle is moving.
Your front axle will engage faster if you take your foot
off of the accelerator
for a few seconds after you shift. In extremely cold weather it may be
necessary to stop or slow the vehicle to shift out of
2H.
To shift into or out of 4L or N (Neutral):
1. Slow the vehicle to a roll, about 3 mph (5 km/h) and shift your
transmission into neutral.
2. Shift the transfer case shift lever in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N (Neutral) as you shift the transfer case into 4L, or your
gears could clash.
Remember that driving in
4H or 4L may reduce fuel economy. Also, driving in
four-wheel drive on
dry pavement could cause your tires to wear faster and
make your transfer case harder to shift.
Front Axle Locking Feature
The front axle locks and unlocks automatically when you shift \
the transfer
case.
A slight delay for the axle to lock or unlock is normal. If the outside
temperature is very hot, or the vehicle has been used under hard driving
conditions, there may be a slight delay for the axle to unlock.

Electric Tailgate Glass Release
PO271
Before operating your electric tailgate glass release, see the \
caution under
"Tailgate, Tailgate Glass and Rear
Doors" in this section.
The electric hatch release button, located below the headlight \
switch, lets you release the tailgate glass.
To use it, slide the button to the right until you
hear the latch release the window.
If you have an automatic transmission, your shift lever must be in P (Park) or
N (Neutral) for the release to work. With a manual transmission, you must
apply the parking brake for the release to work.

Turn Signal and Lane Change indicator
..

." I .. . ..,." .
K2240
The turn signal has two upward (for Right) and two downward \
(for Left) positions. These positions allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash.
Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows flash twice as fast as
normal, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won\
't see your
turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don't go on at all when you signal a turn, check the \
fuse (see
"Fuses" in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle's lighting system (headlights, parking lig\
hts, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meet all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own \
lighting
regulations that may require special attention before you operate these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate yo\
ur lower
2-37

Features & Contmls
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially
at dawn or dusk. It is
recommended that you check with your own state or provincial h\
ighway
authority for applicable lighting regulations.
Head/ight Hiah-Low Beam
F. p h*' .- ..
K2242
To change the headlights from low beam to high or high to low, pull the turn
signal lever all the way toward you. Then release it. When the high beams
are on, this blue light on the instrument panel
also will be on.
2-38

Windshield Wipers
K2244
You control the windshield wipers by turning the band with the wiper symbol
on it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want
more cycles, hold the band on
MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wi\
pes. This
can be very useful in light rain
or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay
time. The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the
LO
position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the
wipers, move the band to the
off symbol.
A
Damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to
drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using them.
If they’re frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen
or thaw them. If your blades do become
damaged get new blades
or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop them
until the motor cools. Clear away snow
or ice to prevent an overload.

2. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this, you'll
go about 1 mph (1.6 kmlh)
slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control \
speed you set
earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hil\
ls, you may
have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to
a lower gear to keep your speed
down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this to be
too much trouble and don't use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are several ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
.Y ..
1. Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a
manual transmission; OR
2. Move the Cruise switch to OFF.
When you turn off the Cruise Control or the ignition, your Cruise Control set
speed memory is erased.
