Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
A CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts.
If YOU do, it may severely weaken
them. In a crash they might not be
able to provide adequate protection.
Clean safety belts
only with mild
soap
and lukewarm water.
Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass
Cleaner (GM Part
No. 1050427) or a
liquid household glass cleaner will
remove normal tobacco smoke and dust
films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass,
because they may cause scratches. Avoid
placing decals on the inside rear window,
since they
may have to be scraped off
later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the
inside of the rear window, an electric
defogger element may be damaged.
Any
temporary license should not be attached
across the defogger grid.

Cleaning the Outside of the Windshield
and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using
the windshield washer, or
if the wiper
blade chatters when running, wax or
other material
may be on the blade or
windshield.
Clean the outside
of the windshield with
GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami
Powder@ (GM Part
No. 10500 1 1 ). The
windshield is clean
if beads do not form
when you rinse
it with water.
Clean the blade
by wiping vigorously
with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the
blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a
regular basis and replaced when worn.
Cleaning Twin Lift-off Roof Panels
Special care is necessary when cleaning,
removing and/or storing the roof panels.
Flush with water to remove dust and
dirt, then dry the panels.
Cleaner
(GM Part No. 1050427) or a
liquid household glass cleaner. Leave
the cleaner on the panel for one
Clean the panels with GM Glass minute,
then wipe the panel
with a
soft, lint-free cloth.
0 Don’t use abrasive cleaning materials.
Cleaning the Outside of Your
Chevrolet
The paint finish on your vehicle provides
beauty, depth of color, gloss retention and
durability.
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s
finish is to keep
it clean by washing it
often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your vehicle
in the direct
rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps
or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand,
dish
or car washing (mild-detergent)
soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that are
petroleum based, or contain acid or
abrasives.
All cleaning agents should be
flushed promptly and not allowed to
dry
on the surface, or they could stain. Dry
the finish
with a soft, clean chamois or
a
100% cotton towel to avoid surface
scratches and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause
water to enter your vehicle.

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.
. . .224
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will
make them last longer, seal better, and not
stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease
with a clean cloth at least every six
months. During very cold, damp weather
more frequent application may be
required. (See “Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants” in the Index.)
Sheet Metal Damage
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
sheet metal repair or replacement, make
sure the body repair shop applies
anti-corrosion material to the parts
repaired or replaced to restore corrosion
protection.
Foreign Material
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice
melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap,
bird droppings, chemicals from industrial
chimneys, and other foreign matter can
damage your vehicle’s finish
if they
remain on painted surfaces. Use cleaners
that are marked safe for painted surfaces
to remove foreign matter.
Finish Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be repaired
right away. Bare metal will corrode
quickly and may develop into a major
repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired
with touch-up materials available from
your dealer or other service outlets.
Larger areas of finish damage can be
corrected in your dealer’s body and paint
shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal
and dust control can collect on the
underbody. If these are not removed,
accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on
the underbody parts such as fuel lines,
frame, floor pan, and exhaust system even
though they have corrosion protection.
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and
other debris can collect. Dirt packed in
closed areas of the frame should be
loosened before being flushed. Your
dealer or an underbody vehicle washing
system can do this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions
can create a chemical fallout. Airborne
pollutants can fall upon and attack painted
surfaces on your vehicle. This damage
can take two forms: blotchy,
ringlet-shaped discolorations, and small
irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes
this, Chevrolet will repair, at no charge to
the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles
damaged by this fallout condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km)
of purchase, whichever comes first.

w Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN)
This is the legal identifier for your
Chevrolet. It appears on a plate in the
front corner of the instrument panel, on
the driver’s side. You can see it if you
look through the windshield from outside
your vehicle. The VIN also appears on the
Vehicle Certification and Service Parts
labels and the certificates of title and
registration.
Engine Identification
The eighth character in your VIN is the
engine code. This code will help you
identify your engine, specifications, and
replacement parts.
Service Parts
Identification Label
You’ll find this label inside your console
itorage compartment. It’s very helpful if
you ever need to order parts. On this
label is:
D your VIN,
the model designation,
paint information, and
a list of all production options anc
special equipment.
Be sure that this label is not removed
From the vehicle.
Add-on Electrical
Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your
Chevrolet unless
you check with
your dealer first. Some electrical
equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered
by your warranty. Some add-on
electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they
should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system.
Before attempting to add anything
electrical to your Chevrolet, see
“Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Chevrolet” in the Index.

Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring
itself. This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
There are two fuse centers on your
vehicle. One is in the left side of your
instrument panel. The other
is in the engine compartment.
Open the cover on either of the boxes to
expose
the fuses.
Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a
bad fuse
with a new one of the correct
size.
If you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
borrow one of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you car
get along without
- like the radio or
cigarette lighter
- and use its fuse, if it i
the size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker. An electrical overload
will cause the lights to go on and off,
or
in some cases to remain off. If this
happens, have your headlight wiring
checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.,
the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power
windows and other power accessories.
When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
