Air Conditioner Controls (OPTION)
The air conditioning system uses the
same controls as the heating system,
except that the air control knob has two
extra settings, described below. For an
explanation of all
the controls, see
“Heater Controls” earlier
in this part.
MAX: Provides maximum cooling or
quick cool-down
on very hot days. This
setting recirculates most
of the air inside
your vehicle. If
it is used for long periods
of time, the air may become dry. This
setting directs
air through the upper air
vents.
. . ,110
A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot days.
This setting cools outside air and directs
it through the upper air vents,
The air conditioner compressor operates
in “MAX,” “A/C” and in qd , *% and
9 when the outside temperature is
above freezing. When the air conditioner
is on, you
may sometimes notice slight
changes
in your vehicle’s engine speed
and power. This is normal because
the system
is designed to cycle the
compressor on and off to keep the
desired cooling
and help fuel economy.
Cooling
The air conditioner works best if you keep
your windows closed. On very hot
days,
open the windows just long enough for
the hot air to escape.
1. Turn the air control knob to “A/C” for
normal cooling. For faster cooling
move the knob to
“MAX.”
2. Turn the temperature control knob to
a comfortable setting.
3. Turn the fan control knob to the right.

Rear Window Defogger (opnoN)
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the rear
window.
Press the right side of the switch to turn
on the defogger. An indicator light will
come on to remind you that the defogger
is on. The defogger will turn off
automatically after about ten minutes of
use. If you turn it on again, the defogger
will operate for about five minutes only.
You can also
turn the defogger off by
pressing the left side
of the switch.
Do not attach anything like a temporary
vehicle license or a decal across
the
defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something
else sharp on the inside of the rear
window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Freeway Driving
Mile for mile, freeways (also called
thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes, or superhighways) are the
safest of all roads. But
they have their
own special rules.
The most important advice
on freeway
driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep
to the right. Drive at the same speed most
of the other drivers are driving. Too-fast
or too-slow driving breaks a smooth
traffic flow. Treat the left lane
on a
freeway as a passing lane.
At the entrance there is usually a ramp
that leads
to the freeway. If you have a
clear view of
tHe freeway as you drive
along the entrdnce ramp, you should 3egin
to check traffic. Try to determine
where
you expect to blend with the flow.
Try to merge into the gap at close to the
prevailing speed. Switch on your
turn
signal, check your mirrors and glance
wer your shoulder
as often as necessary.
Iiy to blend smoothly with the traffic
flow.
Once you are
on the freeway, adjust
your speed to the posted limit or
to the
prevailing rate
if it’s slower. Stay in the
right lane unless you want to pass.
Before changing lanes, check your
mirrors. Then use your turn signal.
Just before you leave the lane, glance
quickly over your shoulder to make sure
there isn’t another vehicle in your “blind”
spot.
Once you are moving on the freeway,
make certain you allow a reasonable
following distance. Expect to move
slightly slower at night.
When
you want to leave the freeway,
move to the proper lane well in advance.
If you miss your exit do
not, under any
circumstances, stop and back up. Drive
on
to the next exit. The
exit ramp can be curved, sometimes
luite sharply. The exit speed is usually
losted. Reduce your speed according to
lour speedometer, not to your sense
of
notion. After driving for any distance at
ligher speeds,
you may tend to think you
we going slower than
you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you’re i-eady. Try to be well
hted.
If you must start when you’re not
iresh
- such as after a day’s work -
jon’t plan to make too many miles that
first part of the journey. Wear comfortable
zlothing and shoes you can easily drive
Ln.
[s your vehicle ready for a long trip? If
yob keep it serviced and maintained, it’s
ready to
go. If it needs service, have it
done before starting out. Of course, you’ll
find experienced and able service experts
in Chevrolet dealerships all across North
America. They’ll be ready and willing to
help if you need it.
Here are some things you can check
before a trip:
0 Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the
reservoir full? Are all windows clean
inside and outside?

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your Driving and the Road
Run your engine only as long as you
must. This saves fuel. When you run the
engine, make it go a little faster than just
idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly.
This uses less fuel for the heat that you
get and it keeps the battery charged.
You
will need a well-charged battery to restart
the vehicle, and possibly for signaling
later on with your headlights. Let the
heater run for awhile. Then,
shut the engine
off and close the
window almost all the way to preserve the
heat. Start the engine again and repeat this
only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do it as little as
possible. Preserve the fuel as long as you
can. To help keep warm, you can get out
of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous
exercises every half hour or
so until help
comes.
Towing a Trailer
NOTICE:
Pulling a trailer improperly can dam-
age your vehicle and result in costly
repairs not covered
by your warranty.
To pull a trailer correctly, follow the
advice
in this section, and see your
Chevrolet dealer for important
information about towing a trailer
with your vehicle.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if it is
equipped with the proper trailer towing
equipment. To identify what the vehicle
trailering capacity is for your vehicle, you
should read the information in “Weight
of the Trailer” that appears later in this
section. But trailering is different than just
driving your vehicle by itself. Trailering
means changes in handling, durability,
and fuel economy. Successful, safe
trailering takes correct equipment, and
it has to be used properly.
That’s the reason for this section. In it are
many time-tested, important trailering
tips and safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety md that of your
passengers.
So please read this section
carefully before you pull a trailer.

rire Chains
NOTICE:
If your Chevrolet has P235/55R16 or
P245/50ZR16 size

Class “S” type chains that are the
proper size for your tires. Install
them on the rear tires and tighten
them as tightly
as possible with the
ends securely fastened. Drive slowly
and follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions. If you can hear the

and retighten
them. If the contact
continues, slow down
until it stops.
Driving too fast
