Ventilation Tips
D Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducin
the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
When
you enter a vehicle in cold
weather, turn the fan control knob to
the right for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intakc
ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seat:
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.

Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been
jesigned to operate easily and give years
If listening pleasure. But you will get the
nost enjoyment out of
it if you acquaint
yourself
with it first. Find out what your
Delco@ system can do and how to operate
111 its controls, to be sure you’re getting
:he most out
of the advanced engineering
.hat went into
it.
:f you have power door locks, your
qehicle has a feature called Retained
4ccessory Power (RAP). With RAP you
:an
play your audio system even after the
ignition
is off. See the Index under
“Retained Accessory Power.”
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment
to your vehicle
- like a tape player,
CB radio, mobile telephone or
two-way radio
- be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it’s
very important
to do it properly.
Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your
vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or
other systems, and even damage
them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation
of
sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment,
check with your dealer and be sure to
check Federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone units.

rhe cap is behind a hinged door on the
left side
of your vehicle.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the
left (counterclockwise). Be
careful not to spill gasoline. Clean
gasoline from painted surfaces as soon as
?ossible. See “Cleaning the Outside of
Your Chevrolet” in the Index.
When you put the cap back on,
turn it to
the right until you hear at least three
:licks.
NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer can get
one for you. If you get the wrong
type, it may not

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When to Change Engine Oil:
See if any one of these is true for you:
0 Most trips are less than 4 miles
(6 km).
It’s below freezing outside and most
trips are less than
10 miles (1 6 km).
The engine is at low speed most of the
time (as in door-to-door delivery, or
in
stop-and-go traffic).
0 You tow a trailer often.
@ Most trips are through dusty places.
If any one
of these is true for your
vehiclej
then you need to change your oil
and filter every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or
3 months - whichever comes first.
If none of them is true, change the oil
every
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12
months - whichever comes first. Change
the filter at the first oil change and at
every other oil change after that.
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block
Heater):
An engine coolant heater can be a big
help
if you have to park outside in very
cold weather,
0” F (- 18 “C) or colder. If
your vehicle has this option, see “Engine
Coolant Heater”
in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil:
Did you know that used engine oil
contains elements that may be unhealthy
for your skin and could even cause
cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your
skin for very long. Clean your skin and
nails with soap and water, or a good hand
cleaner. Wash or properly throw away
clothing or rags containing used engine
oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings
about the use and disposal
of oil
products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the
environment. If
you change your own oil,
be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from
the filter before disposal. Don’t ever
dispose of oil by putting it in the trash,
pouring
it on the ground, into sewers, or
into streams
or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station or a local
recycling center for help.
