Fabric Protection
Your Chevrolet has upholstery and carpet
that has been treated
with Scothgardm
Fabric Protector, a 3M product.
Scotchgard- protects fabric by repelling
oil and water, which are the carriers of
most stains. Even
with this protection,
you still need
to clean your upholstery
and carpet often to keep
it looking new.
Further information on cleaning is
available by calling 1-800-433-3296
(in
Minnesota, 1-800-642-6 167).

Cleaning Leather
Use a soft cloth with lukewarn water and
a mild soap or saddle soap.

solution of 10% isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol) and 90% water.
Never use oils, varnishes,
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners,
furntiure polish or shoe polish on

it difficult to
see through the windshield under certain
conditions.

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.
