Convenience Net (OPTION)
Your vehicle may have a convenience
net. You’ll see it just inside
the back
wall of the trunk. Put small loads, like
grocery bags, behind the net. It can help
keep them from falling over during
sharp turns or quick
starts and stops.
Unclip a corner of the convenience net
to
fit larger objects behind the net, then
reclip it to secure them in place.
The
net isn’t for larger, heavier loads.
Store them in the trunk as far forward
as
you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie
flat when you’re not using it.
Trunk Cargo Anchors (omoN)
If your vehicle has fold-down rear seats,
you’ll find two or four anchors on the
back wall of your trunk. You can use
these anchors to tie down lighter loads.
They prevent things from shifting during sudden stops, turns and maneuvers.
These anchors are not for heavier loads.
Store those items as far forward in
the
trunk as possible.
New Vehicle “Break-ln”
Your modern Chevrolet doesn’t
need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run

and traffic conditions let you.
For
the best fuel economy, accelerate
slowly and shift when the light comes
on.
While you accelerate,
it is normal for
the light
to go on and off if you quickly
change the position
of the accelerator.
Ignore the
SHIFT light when you
downshift.

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.
