Brake Master Cylinder (CONT.)
When your brake fluid falls to a low
level, your brake warning light will
come
on. See the Index under Brake
System Warning Light.
What to Add: When you do need brake
fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid-such
as Delco Supreme
ll@ (GM Part No.
1052535). Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container only.

DOT-5 silicone brake fluid can
damage your vehicle. Don’t use it.
Don’t let someone put in the
wrong kind
of fluid. For
example, just a few drops
of
mineral-based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake system can
damage brake system parts
so
badly that they’ll have to be
replaced.
Brake fluid can damage ‘.nt, so
be careful not to spill brae fluid
on your vehicle.
Replacing Brake System parfs
The braking system on a modern vehicle
is complex.
Its many parts have to be of
top quality and work well together
if the
vehicle
is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-
quality
GM brake parts in them, as your
Chevrolet does when it
is new. When
you replace parts of your braking
system-for example, when your brake
linings wear down and
you have to have
new ones put in-be sure you get new

Wipe with a clean cloth.
Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on
Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type
cleaner at all. Some spots and stains will
clean
off better with just water and mild
soap.
If you need to use it, then:
Gently scrape excess soil from the
trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner,
light pressure and clean cloths (preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning
should start at the outside of the stain,
“feathering” toward the center. Keep
changing to a clean section
of the
cloth.
When you clean a stain from fabric,
immediately dry the area with an air
hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring. (See the
previous
NOTICE.)

Your Chevrolet has upholstery that has
been treated with ScotchgardTM Fabric Protector, a 3M product. Scotchgard”
protects fabrics by repelling
oil and
water, which are the carriers of most
stains. Even with this protection,
you
still need to clean your upholstery often
to keep it looking new.
Further information
on cleaning is
available by calling 1-800-433-3296 (in
Minnesota,

asphalt will stain if
left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed
as soon as possible. Be careful,
because the cleaner will dissolve them
and may cause them
to bleed.

(black), egg, fruit, fruit juice, milk,
soft
drinks, wine, vomit, urine and blood.
Carefully scrape off excess stain, then
sponge the soiled area with cool water.

Cleaning the Outside of Your
Chevrolet (CONT)
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s
finish is to keep it clean by washing it
often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct
rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps
or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand,
dish
or car washing (non-detergent)
soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that
contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning
agents should be flushed promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface, or
they could stain.
Dry the finish with a
soft, clean chamois or a 100% cotton
towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting.
High pressure vehicle washes may cause
water
to enter your vehicle.
242
Textured-Surface Bumper Covers
(VL and RS MODELS)
Cleaning with a brush, a soft terry cloth
or a commercial car wash is
recommended for normal dirt. Never
use a wire brush or abrasives.
Avoid applying wax
or polish to the
textured-surface bumper covers. To
remove wax, a commercially available
wax solvent should be used. Tar and Oil
Remover (GM Part
No. 1050172) is also
recommended. It’s also recommended
for cleaning difficult soils like road tar
and oil. Also recommended are solvent-
type fabric cleaners such as GM Part
No. 1050244.
To clean white bumper covers, first use
Tar and Oil Remover. If the dark areas
are still visible, whiten with White
Sidewall Tire Cleaner, such as GM Part
No. 1050174.
Finish Care of Textured-Surface
Bumper Covers
To touch up any small spots after
regular washing, use a solvent-type
fabric cleaner such as GM Part No.
1050244 and a clean, dry cloth.
To help maintain bumper covers, after
washing use a cleaner/protectant like
GM/Armor AllTM Part No. 1052919.

Service & Appearance Care
Weatherstrips
These are places where glass or metal
meets rubber. Silicone grease there will
make them last longer, seal better, and
not squeak. Apply silicone grease with a
clean cloth at least every six months.
244
Sheet Metal Damage
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
sheet metal repair or replacement, make
sure the body repair
shop applies anti-
corrosion material to the parts repaired
or replaced to restore corrosion
protection.
breign Material
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice
melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap,
bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other foreign
matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain
on painted surfaces. Use
cleaners that are marked safe for painted
surfaces for these stains.
