The horizontal indicator (A) should be
on
0 (zero). If the vehicle is level, the
vertical indicator (B) should also be
on 0 (zero). If the vehicle isn’t level,
check the vertical aim on a
level
surface as soon as you can. If either
indicator doesn’t read
0 (zero), adjust
the headlight aim. See “Adjusting Headlight Aim” in the Index.
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident
and the headlight aim seems to be
affected, see your Chevrolet dealer.
Headlights
on damaged vehicles may
require recalibration
of the horizontal aim

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.

INSPECTION
OR SERVICE
Rear Axle Service
Brake System
Inspection
-
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See “Manual Transmission” in the Index.
A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair if needed.
Check the gear lubricant level in the rear axle and add if needed. See “Rear Axle” in the Index.
A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Check the axle and repair it
if needed. If your vehicle
is used to pull a trailer, have the rear axle gear lubricant changed every
7,500 miles
(12 500 km).
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Also
inspect drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums,
wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. The parking brake is self-adjusting and
no manual
adjustment is required. You may need to have your brakes inspected more often if your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be serv-
iced. Also, if the brake system warning light stays on or comes on, something may be wrong
with the brake system. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
If your anti-lock brake
system warning light stays on, comes on or flashes, something may be wrong with the anti-lock
brake system. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.

Service Publications
Information on how to obtain Product
Service Publications (PSP’s) and Indexes
as described below is applicable only
in
the fifty U.S. states (and the District of
Columbia) and only for cars and light
trucks with
GVWR less than 10,000
pounds
(4 536 kg).
In Canada, information pertaining to
Product Service Bulletins and Indexes can
be obtained by writing to:

Chevrolet regularly sends its dealers
useful service bulletins about Chevrolet
products. Chevrolet monitors product
performance in the field. We then prepare
bulletins for servicing our products better.
Now, you can get these bulletins too.
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some
pertain to the proper use and care
of your
vehicle. Some describe costly repairs.
Others describe inexpensive repairs
which, if done on time with the latest
parts, may avoid future costly repairs.
Some bulletins tell a technician how to repair
a new or unexpected condition.
Others describe a quicker way to fix your
vehicle. They can help a technician
service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply to conditions
affecting a small number
of cars or trucks.
Your Chevrolet dealer or
a qualified
technician may have to determine
if a
specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.
Individual PSP’s
If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s
issued by Chevrolet for all car or truck
models
in the model year, you can buy
individual PSP’s, such as those which
may pertain to a particular model. To do
this, you will first need to see our index of
PSP’s. It provides a variety of
information. Here’s what you’ll find
in
the index and how you can get one:
What You’ll Find in the Index:
0 A list of all PSP’s published by
Chevrolet
in a model year (I 990 or
later). PSP’s covering all models of
Chevrolet cars or light trucks (less
than
10,000 pounds (4 536 kg)
GVWR) are listed in the same index.
0 Ordering information so you can buy
the specific PSP’s you may want.
0 Price information for the PSP’s you
may want to buy.
How You Can Get an Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most
of the PSP’s which could potentially
apply to the most recent Chevrolet models
will be listed in the most recent
publication for that model year. This
means you may want to wait until the
end
of the model year before ordering an
index, if you are interested in buying
PSP’s pertaining to a current model year
car or truck.
Some PSP’s pertaining to a particular
model year vehicle may be published
in
later years, and these would be listed in
the later year’s index. When you order an
index for
a model year that is not over
yet, we’ll send you the most recently
published issue. Check the ordering form
for indexes for earlier model years.
Cut out the ordering
form, fill it out, and
mail
it in. We will then see to it that an
index is mailed to you. There is no charge
