Operation of lights
Although your vehicle's lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and
provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these
lamps. For example, some jurisdictions
may require that you operate your lower 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 highway
authority for applicable righting
regulations.

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) hdicator Light
(CANADA ONLY)
If your vehicle was first sold, when new,
in Canada, you will have this light on
the instrument panel. It goes on
whenever the Daytime Running Lights
are on.
Daflime Running Lights
(CANADA ONLY)
The Canadian federal government has
decided that Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are a useful feature,
in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours. DRL are required on
new vehicles sold
in Canada.
The high beam headlights
will come on
at reduced brightness
in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released. When you
turn on your headlights,
the
DRL will switch off and the exterior
lights will come on. When you turn off
the headlights, the exterior lights will go out and the high beams will change to
the reduced brightness of DRL again.
The DRL indicator light on the instrument
panel will go
on whenever the DRL are
on. This light means that only the DRL
are on. When you turn
on your exterior
lights, this light will
go out. Of course,
you may still
turn on the headlights any
time
you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off,
set the parking brake. The DRL will stay
off
until you release the parking brake.

A convex mirror can make
things (like other vehicles) look
farther away than they really are. If
you cut too sharply into the right
lane, you could
hit a vehicle on
your right. Check your inside
mirror or glance over your
shoulder before changing lanes. Adjust
this mirror
by hand so that you just
see the side
of your vehicle when you are
sitting
in a comfortable driving position.

STANDARD CLUSTER
Instrument Panel Clusters
Your Chevrolet is equipped with one of
these instrument panel clusters, which
include indicator warning lights and
gages that are explained on the
following pages. Be sure to read about
those that apply to the instrument panel
cluster for your vehicle.
Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your
speed in both miles per hour (mph) and
kilometers per hour (km/h). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in
the
U.S.) or kilometers (used in
Canada).
Tamper Resistant Odometer
Your Chevrolet has a tamper resistant
odometer. If
you see silver lines
between the numbers, you’ll
know that
someone has probably tried to
turn it
back,
so the numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your
vehicle needs a new odometer installed.

Warning Lights,
Gages and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gages that may be 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.
Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, your fuel gage
tells
you about how much fuel you have
left. When the indicator nears
E (Empty),
you still have a little fuel left, but you
should get more soon.
Here are four things that some owners
ask about. None
of these show a
problem with your fuel gage:
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts
off before the gage reads
F (Full).
It takes a little more or less fuel to fdl
up than the gage indicated. For
example, the gage may have indicated
the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than half the
tank‘s capacity to fill the tank.

Traffic 1 ights
We’re all familiar with traffic lights or
stop lights. Often green arrows are being
used
in the lights for improved traffic
control. On some multilane roads, green
arrows light up, indicating that traffic
in
one or more lanes can move or make a
turn. Green arrows don’t mean
“go no
matter what.’’ You’ll still need to
proceed
with caution, yielding the right
of way to pedestrians and sometimes to
other vehicles.
Some traffic lights also use red arrows
to signify that
y~u must.stop before
turning
on red.
