MAX: Provides maximum cooling or
quick cool-down

setting recirculates most of
the air inside
your vehicle. If it is used for long periods
of time, the air may become dry. This
setting directs air through the upper air
vents.
A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot days.
This setting cools outside air and directs
it
through the upper air vents.
The air conditioner compressor operates
in MAX, A/C and in 9, t2 and 9

freezing. When the air conditioner is on,
you may sometimes notice slight changes

The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the rear
window.
Press the right side of the switch to turn
on the defogger. An indicator light will
come on to remind you that the defogger
is on. The defogger

Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Unless you have the four-wheel disc
brake option, your Chevrolet has front
disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads are
worn and new pads are needed. The
sound may come and go or be heard all
the time your vehicle is moving (except
when you are pushing on the brake peda
firmly). 1 The brake wear warning sound
- means that sooner or later your
brakes won’t work well. That could
lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have
your vehicle serviced.

brake pads could result in rnctl\~
brake repair. Some driving conditions
or climates may
cause a brake squeal when the brakes are
first applied or lightly applied. This does
not mean something
is wrong with your
brakes.
Rear Drum Brakes
If you have rear drum brakes, they don’t
have wear indicators,
but if you ever hear
a rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear
brake linings inspected.
Also, the rear
brake drums should be removed and
inspected each time the tires are removed
for rotation or changing. When you have
the front brakes replaced, have the rear
brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced
as complete axle sets.

3. Try to keep your engine under load (in
a drive gear where the engine runs
slower).
If you no longer have the overheat
warning, you can drive. Just
to be safe,

ten minutes. If the

you can
drive normally. If
the warning
continues, pull over, stop,
and park your vehicle right away.
If there’s

Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or
badly rusted.
If wheel nuts keep coming
loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts should be replaced. If the wheel
leaks air out, replace
it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can sometimes
be repaired). See your Chevrolet dealer
if
any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer
will know the kind of wheel
you need. Each new wheel should have the same
load carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace them
only with new
GM original equipment
parts. This way, you
will be sure to have
the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for your Chevrolet model.
CAUTION:
Using th-t
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the
braking and handling
of your
vehicle, make your tires lose air and
make you lose control.
You could
have
a collision in which you or
others could be injured. Always use
the correct wheel, wheel bolts, and
wheel nuts for replacement.
