Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about how much
fuel is in your tank. The fuel gage works
only when the ignition switch is in the
“Run” position. When the gage pointer
first indicates
“E,” you still have a little
fuel left (about one to two gallons), but
you need to get more right away.
Here are four concerns some owners
have had about the fuel gage. All these
situations are normal and do not indicate
that anything is wrong with the fuel gage. At
the gas station, the gas pump shuts
off before the gage reads
“E”
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up
than the gage reads. For example, the
gage reads
1/2 full, but it took more
(or less) than half of the tank’s
capacity to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you
turn, stop or speed up.
When you
turn the engine off, the
gage doesn’t go back to
“E.”
BRAKE
I I 3
Brake System Warning Light
Your Chevrolet’s hydraulic brake system
is divided into two parts. If one part isn’t
working, the other part can still work and
stop you.
For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could
be a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on as you start the
vehicle.
If it doesn’t come on then, have it
fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if
there’s a problem.

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.

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.

Two labels on your vehicle show how
much weight
it may properly carry. The
Tire-Loading Information label found on
the driver’s door tells you the proper size,
speed rating and recommended inflation
pressures for the tires on your vehicle. It
also gives you important information
about the number of people that can be
in
your vehicle and the total weight that you
can carry. This weight is called the
Vehicle Capacity Weight and includes the
weight of all occupants, cargo, and all
nonfactory-installed options.
