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.

If your battery has run down, you may
want to use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your Chevrolet. But
please follow the steps below to do it
safely. NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in
costly damage to your vehicle that
wouldn’t be covered by your war-
ranty.
Trying to start your Chevrolet by
pushing or pulling
it could damage
your vehicle, even
if you have a
manual transmission. And if you
have an automatic transmission,
it
won’t start that way.
To Jump Start Your Chevrolet:
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have
a 12-volt battery with a negative
ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn’t a 12-volt
system with a negative ground, both
vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
If they are,
it could cause a
ground connection you don’t want.
You wouldn’t be able to start your
Chevrolet, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical systems.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles.
Turn off all lights that aren’t needed,
and radios. This
will avoid sparks and
help save both batteries. And
it could
save your radio!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be’
badly damaged. The repairs wouldn’t
be covered
by your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the
batteries.
