Leaving your hood open and your
underhood lights on can drain your
battery.
If you need to keep the hood
open for an extended period
of time,
remove the Underhood Lights Fuse.
This 1O-amp fuse is located under the
hood on the left-hand marker light
assembly. See the
Index under Fuses &
Circuit Breakers.
Engine Oil
It's a good.idea to check pur engine oil
level every time you get fuel. In order to
get
an accurate reading, the vehicle
must be on level
ground.
If you have the LTl engine, the best
time
to check your engine oil is when
the
engine is warn. If the engine is
mnning, the engine oil won't drain back
into the pan.
Turn off the engine and
give the oil a few minutes to drain back
into the-oil
pan. If you don't, the oil
dipstick might not show the actual
level. If
you have a ZR-1, the best time to
chegk your engine oil is when
the
engine
is cold. If you run the engine, the
engine oil
won't drain back into the pan
fast enough.
Give the oil two hours to
drain
back into the oil pan. If you don't,
the oil dipstick might not
show the
actual level.
