1993 CHEVROLET LUMINA mileage

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speedometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and
kilometers per hour (kdh)
.
Odometer
Your odometer shows you how far your
vehicle has been driven, in either miles
(used in the
U.S.) or kilometers (used
in Canada).
Your Chevrolet has a tamper resistant odometer.
If you see silver lines
between the numbers, you’ll know
someone has probably tampered with it
and the numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your
Chevrolet needs a new odometer
installed.
If the new one can be set to
the mileage total of the old odometer,
then it must be. But
if it can’t, then it’s
set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver’s door to show the old
mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer (OPTION)
The trip odometer tells you how far
your vehicle has been driven since you
last reset it.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press
the reset button.

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.

Your Chevrolet dealer knows your
vehicle best and wants you to be happy
with it. We hope you’ll go to your dealer
for all your service needs. You’ll get
genuine GM parts and GM-trained and
supported service people.
We hope you’ll want
to keep your GM
vehicle all GM. Genuine GM parts have
one of these marks.
Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own
service work, you’ll want to get the
proper Chevrolet Service Manual. It
tells you much more about how to
service your Chevrolet than this manua.
can.
To order the proper service
manual, see the
Index under Service
Publications.
You should keep a record with all parts
receipts and list the mileage and the
date of any service work you perform.
See the
Index under Maintenance
Record.
I CAUTION
* You can be injured if you try
4 to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough
about it.
Be sure you have sufficient
knowledge, experience, and the
proper replacement parts and
tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts,
bolts, and other fasteners.
II
“English” and “metri~’~ fasteners
can be easily confused.
If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can
later break or fall
off. You could
be hurt.
If you try to do your own servic
work without knowing enough
about it, your vehicle could be
damaged.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When to Check:
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don't forget your compact spare tire. It
should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to
check tire pressure. Simply looking
at
the tires will not tell you the pressure,
especially
if you have radial tires-
which may look properly inflated even
if
they're underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have
them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule. See the
Index
under Scheduled Maintenance
Services.
Use this rotation pattern.
Mer the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation pressure as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information
label. Make certain that
all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See the
Index
under Wheel Nut Torque.
I
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on
the parts to which it is
fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after
a time. The
wheel could come
off and cause an
accident. When you change a
wheel, remove any rust
or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, you
can use a cloth
or a paper towel to
do this; but be sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later,
if you need to,
to get all the rust or dirt off. (See
the
Index under Changing a Flat
Tire.)

a decision is rendered (or 47 days if you
did not first contact your dealer or
Chevrolet)
.
We encourage you to use this program
before or instead of resorting to the
courts. We believe it offers advantages
over courts in most jurisdictions
because it is fast, free of charge, and
informal (lawyers are not usually
present, although you may retain one at
your expense if you choose). Arbitrators
make decisions based
on the principles
of fairness and equity, and are not
required to duplicate the functions of
courts by strictly applying state or
federal law.
If you wish to go to court, however, we
do not require that you
first file a claim with
BBB AUTO
LINE"" unless state law provides
otherwise. Whatever your preference
may be, remember that if
you are
unhappy with the results of
BBB AUTO
LINE, you can still go to court because
an arbitrator's decision is binding on
GM but not on you, unless you accept
it.
Eligibility is limited by vehicle age/
mileage and other factors. For further
information concerning the program,
call the
BBB at 1-800-955-5100. You
may also call the Chewolet Customer
Assistance Center at
1-800-222-1020.
*This program may not be available
in all states, depending
on state law.
Canadian owners refer to your
warranty booklet. General Motors
reserves the right to change
eligibility limitations and/or to
discontinue its participation in this
program.
** Some states may require that you
file a claim with BBB AUTO LINE
before resorting to state-operated
procedures (including court).
