1994 CHEVROLET CAMARO tire pressure

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Service and Appearance Care
When to Check: Check your tires once a
month or more. Don’t forget your
compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi
(420 kPa).
How to Check: Use a good quality
pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the pressure, especially if you have
radial tires
- which may look properly
inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture. Tire Inspection and Rotation
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.
[f you don’t have P245/50ZR16 size tires
use the rotation pattern shown above for
your size tires.
4-
f you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they
nust roll in
a certain direction for the best
werall performance. The direction is
hown by an arrow on both sidewalls.
3ecause these tires are directional, they
hould be rotated as shown
in the
:xample above. These tires should only
,e moved from front to rear and rear to
ront on the same side of the vehicle.
ifter the tires have been rotated, adjust
he front and rear inflation pressure as

u-operly tightened. See “Wheel Nut

Cleaning the lnside of Your
Chevrolet
Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of
dust and loose dirt. Wipe
vinyl or leather
with a clean, damp cloth.
Your Chevrolet dealer has two
GM
cleaners - a solvent-type spot lifter and
a foam-type powdered cleaner. They will
clean normal spots and stains
very well.
Do not use them on vinyl or leather.
Here are some cleaning tips:

change
to a clean area often. A soft
brush may be used if stains are
stubborn.
0 Use solvent-type cleaners in a
well-ventilated area only.
If you use
them, don’t saturate the stained area.
clean the
entire area immediately or it
will set.
If a ring forms after spot cleaning,
Using Foam-Type Cleaner on Fabric
Vacuum and brush the area to remove
any loose dirt.
Always clean a whole trim panel or
section.
Mask surrounding trim along
stitch or
welt lines.
Mix Multi-Purpose Powdered Cleaner
following the directions on the
container label.
Use suds only and apply
with a clean
sponge.
Don’t saturate the material.
Don’t rub
it roughly.
As soon as you’ve cleaned the section,
use a sponge to remove the suds.
Rinse the section
with a clean, wet
sponge.
Wipe off what’s left
with a slightly
damp paper towel or cloth.
Then dry
it immediately with a blow
dryer or
a heat lamp.
I NOTICE:
I
Be careful with a hair dryer or heat
lamp. You could scorch
the fabric. I
Wipe with a clean cloth.
Using Solvent-’1[Sipe Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type
:leaner
at all. Some spots and stains will
:lean off better with just water and mild
;oap.
If you need to use a solvent:
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.)

1 Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of
your Chevrolet may be necessary to
remove residue from the paint finish.
You
can get GM approved cleaning products
from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care
and Maintenance Materials”
in the Index.)
Your Chevrolet has a “basecoat/clearcoat”
paint finish. The clearcoat gives more
depth and gloss to the colored
basecoat.Always use waxes and polishes
that are non-abrasive and made for a
basecoatklearcoat paint finish.
NOTICE:
Machine compounding or aggressive
polishing on a basecoatklearcoat
paint finish may
dull the finish or
leave swirl marks.

Cleaning Your Convertible Top
NOTICE:
When using an automatic car wash,
set your heating or cooling system to
“VENT”
with the fan speed set to
the second highest speed. This
will
prevent high pressure water from
entering around your top.
Your convertible top should be cleaned
often. Use
a mild soap, lukewarm water
and a soft brush. Don’t use any harsh
cleaners or bleaching agents on the top.
They can damage the material.
When the top is really dirty, use a
mild
foam-type cleaner. Use a cloth or sponge
to remove the dirt.
Thoroughly rinse the top and dry
it before
lowering
it. A damp top causes wrinkles.
Aluminum Wheels (If So Equipped)
Your aluminum wheels have a protective
coating similar to the painted surface
of
your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps,
chemicals, chrome polish, or other abrasive cleaners
on them because
you
could damage this coating. After rinsing
thoroughly, a wax may be applied.
NOTICE:
If you have aluminum wheels, don’t
use an automatic car wash that has
hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes.
These brushes can take off the
protective coating.
Tires
Your Chevrolet dealer has a GM White
Sidewall Tire Cleaner.
You can use a stiff
brush
with the cleaner.
When applying a tire dressing always takt
care to wipe off any overspray or splash
from painted surfaces. Petroleum-based
products may damage the paint finish.

Chassis Lubrication
- Lubricate
the suspension and steering
linkage. Lubricate the
transmission shift linkage.
Tire and Wheel Rotation and
InsDection
- For proper wear
and maximum tire life, rotate
your tires following the
instructions
in this manual. See
“Tires, Inspection and Rotation”
in the Index. Check the tires for
uneven wear or damage. If you
see irregular or premature wear,
check the wheel alignment.
Check for damaged wheels also.
Engine Accessory Drive Belt(s)
Inspection
- Inspect the belt(s)
for cracks, fraying, wear and
proper tension. Replace as needed. (Belts can have many
small cracks
in individual ribs
without affecting performance.)
ITEM
NO. SERVICE
5 Cooling System Service* -
Drain, flush and refill the system
with new or approved recycled
coolant conforming to
GM
Specification 1825M. Keep
coolant at the proper mixture as
specified. See “Coolant”
in the
Index. This provides proper
freeze and boil protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and
maintains proper engine
operating temperature.
Inspect hoses and replace
if they
are cracked, swollen or deterior-
ated. Tighten screw-type hose
clamps. Clean the outside
of the
radiator and air conditioning
condenser. Wash the pressure
cap and neck.
To help ensure proper operation,
we recommend a pressure test of
both the cooling system and the
pressure cap.
