Using Your 1993 Chevrolet

receive their new vehicle. This will help
you learn about the features and
controls for your vehicle. In this
manual, you'll find that pictures and
words work together to explain things
quickly.
There are nine parts with color-tabbed pages in this manual. Each part begins
with a brief list of contents,

Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from lights behind you,
pull the lever toward
you to the night
position.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your right side mirror is convex. A
convex mirror's surface is curved so you
can see more from the driver's seat.
1 CAUTIVN
I
If you aren't used to a convex
mirror, you can hit another
vehicle. A convex mirror can make
things (like other vehicles) look
farther away than they redly are. If
you cut too sharply into the right
lane, you could hit a vehicle on
youi right. Check your inside
mirror
or glance over your shoulder II
before changing lanes.

away from the heating element
when it’s ready. That
can make it
overheat, damaging the lighter
and
the heating element.

Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light tells you that your engine
coolant has overheated or your radiator
cooling fan is not working. If you have
been operating your vehicle under normal driving conditions, you should
pull
off the road, stop your vehicle and
turn the engine
off as soon as possible.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN YOU
BADLY!
In
Problems on the Road, this manual
shows what to
do. See the Index under
Engine Overheating.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gage
(OPTION)
If you have the gage cluster, you have a
gage that shows the engine coolant
temperature. If the gage pointer moves
into the red area, your engine is too hot!
That reading means the same thing as
the warning light. It means that your
engine coolant has overheated. If you
have been operating your vehicle under
normal driving conditions, you should
pull
off the road, stop your vehicle and
turn off the engine as soon as possible.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN
YOU
BADLY!
In
Problems on the Road, this manual
shows what to do. See the
Index under
Engine Overheating.
Low Coolant Warning Light
(v6 ENGINES)
If this light comes on, your system is
low on coolant and the engine may
overheat. See the
Index under Engine
Coolant and have your vehicle serviced
as soon as you can.

Heater Controls
OFF: Press to turn the system off.
Some air will still come from the
outlets at the floor. Press any function
button to turn the system on.
Temperature Control Lever: This
lever changes the temperature
of the
air coming through the system. The
farther the lever is to the right, the
warmer the air.
8: Selects the force of air you want.
Press
V to lower the fan speed, A to
raise it.
Heating and Ventilation
There are three settings to heat and
ventilate your vehicle. For each setting,
set the temperature control lever to a
comfortable setting.
HEAT: Press to direct heated air
through the heater ducts. Some heated
air will also come through the
windshield defroster vents.
BI-LEV: Use on cool, but sunny days.
This setting brings in the outside air,
but directs it in two ways. The cool air is directed to the upper portion of your
body through the instrument panel
outlets, but most warmed air is directed
through the heater ducts and
a little to
the defrost and side window vents. At
times this temperature difference may
be more apparent than others.
VENT: Press to direct air through the
instrument panel outlets. Useful when
outside temperatures are mild and little
heating is necessary.
Defogging and Defrosting
There are two settings for clearing your
windows. For each setting, set the
temperature control lever to a
comfortable setting.
BLEND: Press to direct air through
the floor vents and windshield vents
equally. Useful when you need defrosting but want to keep the
passenger compartment warm, too.
cifi, (Defrost): Press to direct air
through the windshield defroster vents
and vents near the side windows. Some
air will also come through the heater
ducts.

Air Conditioning (CONT.)
Heating and Ventilation
When you don’t need to cool the
outside air, use these next settings.
You
can leave the air as it is or heat it.
The air conditioner compressor doesn’t
run in the
VENT and HEAT settings.
This reduces the engine load, resulting
in improved fuel economy (gas
mileage).
VENT: For mild outside temperatures,
when little heating or cooling is needed,
push
VENT. Air flow is through the
instrument panel outlets. Slide the
temperature control lever to a
comfortable level.
HEAT When outside temperatures are
cold, push
HEAT. This will send most
of the heated air through the ducts near
the floor. The rest will come out of the
defroster vents and side window
defogger vents.
Defogging and Defrosting
There are two settings for clearing your
windows. For each setting, adjust the
temperature control as desired. The air
conditioner compressor will run in
these settings to remove moisture from
the air when the temperature is above
freezing.
BLEND: This setting allows half of the
air to flow to the floor heater ducts, and
half to
go to the windshield and side
window vents located in the windshield
pillars. Use this setting to warm
passengers while keeping the
windshield clear.
The setting directs
90
through the defroster vents and the side
window vents, and
10% to the floor.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your Driving and the Road
Driving with a Trailer (CONT.)
Making Turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal. Do this
so your trailer won’t strike soft
shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or
other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden
maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has
to have a different turn signal flasher
and extra wiring. The green arrows on
your instrument panel will flash
whenever you signal a turn or lane
change. Properly hooked up, the trailer
lights will also flash, telling other
drivers you’re about to turn, change
lanes or stop.
I60
When towing a trailer, the green arrows
on your instrument panel will flash for
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are
burned out. Thus, you may think
drivers behind you are seeing your
signal when they are not. It’s important
to check occasionally to be sure the
trailer bulbs are still working.
Your vehicle has bulb warning .lights.
When you plug trailer lights into your
vehicle’s lighting system, its bulb
warning lights may not let you know if
one
of your lights goes out. So, when
you have trailer lights plugged in, be
sure to check your vehicle and trailer
lights from time to time to be sure
they’re all working. Once you disconnect the trailer lights, the bulb
warning lights again can tell you if one
of your vehicle lights
is out.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t shift down,
you
might have to use your brakes so much
that they would get hot and no longer
work well.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around
45 mph
(70 Wh) to reduce the possibility of
engine and transaxle overheating.
If you are towing a trailer and you have
an automatic transaxle with Overdrive,
it’s best to drive in
D instead of (or,
as you need to, a lower gear). This will
minimize heat build-up and extend the
life of your transaxle.
