1993 CHEVROLET S10 Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green ar\
row
starts to
flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane chi' -- if the arrows don’t flash but just stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned
OUT and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
(If your vehicle has the digital instrument cluster, the turn signa\
l arrows will
flash at a faster rate
if a signal bulb is burned out.)
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the tr\
ailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher instal\
led, the signal indicator will flash even if a turn signal bulb is burned out\
. Check the front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are working.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and tail lights) meet all applicable Federa\
l lighting
requirements, certain states and providences may apply their own\
lighting
regulations that may require special attention before you operat\
e these lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate yo\
ur lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights b\
e turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most\
jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn \
or dusk.
It is
recommended that you check with your own state or provincial h\
ighway
authority for applicable lighting regulations.

a steady speed.
So, don't use your Cruise Control on winding
roads
or in heavy traffic.

roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don't use Cruise Control \
on slippery roads.
To Set Cruise Control
Move the Cruise Control switch to ON.
1 CAUTION
A If you leave your Cruise Control switch on when you're not using \

c
PO261
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and th\
en you apply
the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the Cruise Control. But you don’t need
to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can
move the Cruise Control switch from ON to
WA (Resume/Accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at WA (ResumelAccelerate) longer than half a
second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release t\
he switch
or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose contr\
ol.
So
unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at WA
(ResumelAccelerate).
ro Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the fi\
rst:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2. Push the button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.

Here's the second way to go to a higher speed:
1. Move the Cruise switch from ON to WA (ResumelAccelerate). Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the
switch.
2. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to WA
(ResumelAccelerate) for less than half a second and then release it.
Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go 1 mph (1.6 kmlh) faster.
