1993 CHEVROLET TRACKER light

To unlock the hubs:
1. Stop your vehicle.
2. Drive seven feet (two meters) in the
direction opposite to the direction
you were driving before you stopped.
3. Then, press the clutch if you have a
manual transmission, and shift the
transfer
case to 2H. The hubs will
unlock.
Transfer Case
The transfer case shift lever is on the
floor to the right of the driver. Use this
lever to shift into and out of four-wheel
drive. An indicator light comes on when
the transfer case is in
4H or 4L.
2H: This setting is for driving in most
street and highway situations. Your front
axle
is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4H: This setting engages your front axle
to help drive your vehicle. Use
4H
when you need extra traction, such as
on wet or icy roads,
or in most off-road
situations.
N (Neutral): Shift to this setting only
when your vehicle needs
to be towed.
4L: This setting also engages your front
axle to give you extra traction, but
should be used only for driving downhill
or on slippery surfaces when you’re
driving slower than
35 mph (55 km/h).
Remember that driving in 4H or 4L may
reduce fuel economy. Also, driving
in
four-wheel drive on dry pavement could
cause your tires to wear faster and make
your transfer case harder to shift.
You can shift from
2H to 4H or from
4H to 2H at any speed if your hubs are
locked and your wheels are straight
ahead. Your front
axle will engage
faster if you take your foot off the
accelerator pedal for a
few seconds as
you shift.

Opentiun of Lights
Although your vehicle's lighting system
(headlamps, parking lamps, fog lamps,
side marker lamps and taillamps) meet
all applicable Federal lighting
requirements, certain States and
Provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these
lamps. For example, some jurisdictions may
require that you operate your low
beam lamps with fog lamps at all times,
or that headlamps be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield
wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parking
lamps, especially at dawn or dusk.
It is
recommended that you check with your
own State or Provincial highway
authority for applicable lighting
regulations. Turn
the outside portion of the lever to
control the lights. There are three
positions for the light switch.
In OFF, all lights are turned off.
The middle position turns on the
parking lights, taillights, license plate
light and the instrument panel
lighting; the headlights are
off.
The third position turns on the
headlights.
Lights On Reminder
If you turn the ignition off, remove the
key and leave the lights on, a chime will
sound to remind you to turn off your
lights.

pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours. DRL are required
on
new vehicles sold in Canada.
The low beam headlights will come on
at reduced brightness
in daylight when:
The ignition is on

When you turn on your headlights, the
DRL will switch off and the exterior

the headlights, the exterior lights will go
out and the low beams will change to
the reduced brightness

The DRL indicator light on the
instrument panel will
go on whenever

only the DRL are on. When you turn on
your exterior lights, this light will go
out,
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights or passing signal any time
you need to.
To idle your vehicle with DRL
off, set
the parking brake. The DRL will stay
off until you release the parking brake.
