Warning Lights, Gages
and Zndicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gages that are
on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before
it becomes
serious enough
to cause an expensive
repair
or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also
save you or others from injury.
Warning lights
go on when there may be
or is a problem with one
of your vehicle’s
functions.
As you will see in the details
on the next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when
you turn the
ignition key just to let you know they‘re working.
If you
are familiar with this
section,
you should not be alarmed when
this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Often gages and warning lights
work together to let
you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one
of the warning lights comes on
and stays on when you are driving. or
when one
of the gages shows there may
be a problem, check the section that tells
you what
to do about it. Please follow the
manual’s advice. Waiting
to do repairs
can
be costly - and even dangerous. So
please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They‘re
a big help.

If the light stays on or comes on when
you’re driving, stop
as soon as possible
and turn the key off. Then start the engine
to reset the system. If the light still stays
on, or comes on again while you’re
driving, your Chevrolet needs service.
Unless the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you
will still have brakes,
but not anti-lock brakes. If the regular
brake system warning
light is also on, see
“Brake System Warning Light” earlier
in
this part. When your anti-lock system is working,
the message
LOW TRAC will appear on
your instrument cluster. This means that
slippery road conditions may exist. Adjust
your driving accordingly. The light
will
stay on for about four seconds after the
ABS stops working. The
LOW TRAC
light also comes on during engine starting
as
a bulb check.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant
temperature.
If the gage pointer moves
into the red area, your engine is
too hot!
It means that your engine coolant has
overheated. If you have been operating
your vehicle under normal driving
conditions, you should
pull off the road,
stop your vehicle and
turn off the engine
as soon as possible.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN YOU
BADLY!
In ”Problerns on the Road,” this manual
shows
what to do. See “Engine

In most cases, these deaths are the result
of someone who was drinking and
driving. Over
25,000 motor
vehicle-related deaths occur each year
because
of alcohol, and thousands of
people are injured.
Just how much alcohol is too much if a
person plans to drive? Ideally, no one
should drink alcohol and then drive.
But
if one does, then what’s “too much”? It
can be a lot less than many might think.
Although it depends on each person and
situation, here is some general
information on the problem. The
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of
someone who
is drinking depends upon
four things:
How much alcohol is
in the drink.
The drinker’s body weight.
The amount
of food that is consumed
before and during drinking.
The length of time
it has taken the
drinker to consume the alcohol. According to the American Medical
Association,
a 180-pound
(82 kg) person
who drinks three 12-ounce
(355 ml)
bottles of beer in an hour will end up with
a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person
would reach the same BAC by drinking
three 4-ounce
(120 ml) glasses of wine or
three mixed drinks
if each had 1-1/2
ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey,
gin or vodka.
It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For
example,
if the same person drank three
double martinis
(3 ounces or 90 ml of
liquor each) within an hour, the person’s
BAC would
be close to 0.12 percent, A
person who consumes food just before or
during
drinking will have a slightly lower
BAC level.
