1994 CHEVROLET ASTRO PASSENGER wiper fluid

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If
you want
more cycles, hold the band on
MIST longer.
You can
set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This
can be very useful in light rain
or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay
time. The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the
LO
position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the
wipers, move the band to the off symbol.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well
enough to drive safely.
To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get
new
blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop
them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever there's a paddle marked with the
windshield washer symbol and
PUSH. To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the paddle.
The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to your
preset speed.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous.
A bad mud splash can block
your vision. You could hit another vehicle or go off the road. Check your
washer fluid level often.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water
doesn’t clean
as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if it is
completely full.
~ 0 Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Rear Window WiperNVasher-Dutch Door
You control your rear
window wipedwasher
from a switch on your
instrument panel, just
left
of your steering
column.

0 Press the top of the switch in all the way and hold to release the desired
amount of washer fluid. The wipers will continue to work after you
release the switch.
Press the bottom of the switch (OFF) to turn the wiper off.
The rear window washer system uses the same fluid tank as the windshield
washer system.
The rear window washer system will run out
of fluid before the windshield
washer system, indicating
you need to check your fluid level and fill the
fluid tank.
Cruise Control (Option)
With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 kdh)
or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help
on long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph
(40 kmh).
When
you apply your brakes, the Cruise Control shuts off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make
sure there isn’t another vehicle in your “blind” spot.
Once you are moving on
the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable
following distance. Expect to move slightly slower
at night.
When you want
to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in
advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not to your sense of
motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to
think you are going slower than you actually are.
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
GM 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:

Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked all levels?
Lights: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?
Tires: They are vitally important to a safe, trouble-free trip. Is the tread
good enough for long-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated to the
recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook along your route?
Should you delay your trip a short time to avoid a major storm system?
Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?
