Driving a long Distance
Although most long trips today are
made on freeways, there are still many
made on regular highways.
Long-distance driving on freeways and
regular highways is the same in some
ways. The trip has to be planned and
the vehicle prepared, you drive at
higher-than-city speeds, and there are
longer turns behind the wheel. You’ll
enjoy your trip more if you and your
vehicle are in good shape. Here are
some tips for a successful long trip.

Before leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well
rested. If you must start when you’re
not fresh-such as after a day’s work-
don’t plan to make too many miles that
first part
of the journey. Wear
comfortable clothing and shoes you can
easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip?
If
you keep it serviced and maintained, it’s
ready to go. If it needs service, have it
done before starting out. Of course,
you’ll find experienced and able service
experts in Chevrolet dealerships all
across North America. They’ll be ready
and willing to help
if you need it. Here
are some things you can check
before a trip:

If you no longer have the overheat
warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,
drive slower for about ten minutes.
If
the warning doesn’t come back on, you
can drive normally.
If the warning continues, pull over,
stop, and park your vehicle right away.
If there’s still
no sign of steam, you can
idle the engine for two or three minutes
while you’re parked, to see
if the
warning stops.

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.)

Fabric Protection
Your Chevrolet has upholstery and
carpeting that has been treated with
Scotchgard” 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, 1-800-642-6167).
Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy or Oily Stains: Like grease, oil,
butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee
with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic
creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar
and asphalt.
Carefully scrape off excessstain.
Then follow the solvent-typg
. Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and
instructions
above.
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.
Non-Greasy Stains: Like catsup,
coffee (black), egg, fruit, fruit juice,
milk, soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine and
blood.
