1994 CHEVROLET BLAZER wheel torque

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Damage to your transmission caused by shifting out of “P”
(Park) or “N” (Neutral) with the engine racing isn’t covered by
your warranty.
@ (Overdrive)
This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for
passing, and you’re:
- Going less than about 35 mph (56 km/h), push your accelerator
- Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all
pedal about halfway down.
the way down.
You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power.
@ should not be used when towing a trailer, carrying a heavy
load, driving
on steep hills, or for off-road driving. Select “D”
(Third Gear) when operating the vehicle under any of these
conditions.
D (Third Gear) - This is like @, but you never go into Overdrive.
You should use
“D’ (Third Gear) when towing a trailer, carrying a
heavy load, driving on steep hills,
or for off-road driving.
2 (Second Gear) - This position gives you more power but lower fuel
economy. You can use “2” (Second Gear) on hills. It can help control
your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but
then you would
also want to use your brakes
off and on.
If you manually select
“2” (Second Gear), the transmission will drive
in second gear. You may use this feature for reducing torque to the rear
wheels when
you are trying to start your vehicle from a stop on
slippery road surfaces.
1 (First Gear) - This position gives you even more power (but lower
fuel economy) than “2” (Second Gear). You can use it on very steep
hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put
in “1” (First
Gear),
the transmission won’t shift into “1” (First Gear) until the
vehicle
is going slowly enough.

sure
the transfer case is in a drive gear - not in “N” (Neutral).
4. Move the ignition key to LOCK.
5. Remove the key and take it with you. If you can walk away from your
vehicle with the ignition
key in your hand, your vehicle is in “P”
(Park).
Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running
(Automatic Transmission Models Only)
Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into “P”
(Park) properly,
the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the
parking pawl
in the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull the shift
lever
out of “P’ (Park). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock,
set the parking brake and then
shift into “P” (Park) properly before you
leave the driver’s seat. To find out how, see “Shifting Into ‘P’ (Park)” in the
Index.
When
you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of “P” (Park)
BEFORE you release the parking brake.
If “torque
lock” does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push
yours a
little uphill to take some of the pressure from the transmission, so
you can pull the shift lever out of ‘Y’ (Park).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you have a floor-mounted spare tire and it has an aluminum wheel, place
the hook in the floor ring before placing
it through the wheel.
If you have a endgate-mounted spare tire carrier, tighten the nuts to 22-32
ft. lb. (30-40 Nem) torque.
If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your
wheels. The method known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re
stuck, but you must use caution.
I NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well\
as
the tires.
If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your
transmission back and forth, you can destroy your transmission. \

To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule.
See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services’’ in the Index.
FRT FRT
Use this rotation
pattern.
U
If your vehicle has front tires with different load ratings or tread designs
(such as all season
vs. on/off road) than the rear tires, don’t rotate your tires
front to rear.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation pressure
as shown on the CertificationEire label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut Torque” in the Index.
