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.

jesigned to operate easily and give years
If listening pleasure. But you will get the
nost enjoyment out of

with it first. Find out what your

NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment
to your vehicle
- like a tape player,
CB radio, mobile telephone or
two-way radio
- be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it’s
very important
to do it properly.
Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your
vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or
other systems, and even damage
them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation
of
sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment,
check with your dealer and be sure to
check Federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone units.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine It’s wise to keep your wiping equipment
in good shape and keep your windshield
washer tank filled. Replace your
windshield wiper inserts when they show
signs of streaking or missing areas on the
windshield, or when strips of rubber start
to separate from the inserts.
Driving too fast through large water
puddles or even going through some car
washes can cause problems, too. The
water may affect your brakes. Try to
avoid puddles. But if you can’t, try to
slow down before you hit them.
Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much
water can build up under your tires that
they can actually ride on the water. This
can happen if the road is wet enough and
you’re going fast enough. When your
vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no
contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But
it
can if your tires haven’t much tread or if
the pressure in one or more is low. It can
happen if a lot of water is standing on the
road. If
you can see reflections from trees,
telephone poles, or other vehicles, and
raindrops “dimple’’ the water’s surface,
there could be hydroplaning.

Custumer satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and Chevrolet.
Normally, any concern with the sales
transaction or the operation of your
vehicle will be resolved by your
dealer’s Sales or Service Departments.
Sometimes, however, despite
the
best intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur. If your
concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should
be taken:
STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with a
member of dealership management.
Normally, concerns can be quickly
resolved at that level. If the matter has
already been reviewed
with the Sales,
Service, or Parts Manager, contact the
owner of the dealership
or the General
Manager.
STEP TWO: If after contacting a
member of Dealership Management,
it
appears your concern cannot be resolved
by the dealership without further help,
contact the Chevrolet Customer
Assistance Center by calling
1-800-222-1020.
In Canada, contact GM
of Canada Customer Assistance Center
in Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777

Alternative Dispute Resolution Program
*
BBB AUTO LINE -
Both Chevrolet and your Chevrolet dealer
are committed to making sure you are
completely satisfied
with your new
vehicle. Our experience has shown that,
if a situation arises where you feel your
concern has not been adequately
addressed, the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure described earlier
in this
section is very successful.
There
may be instances where an
impartial third-party can assist
in arriving
at
a solution to a disagreement regarding
vehicle repairs or interpretation of the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty. To
assist
in resolving these disagreements
Chevrolet voluntarily participates
in
BBB AUTO LINE.
BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court
program administered
by the Better
Business Bureau system to settle disputes
between customers and automobile
manufacturers. This program is available
free
of charge to customers who currently
own or lease a
GM vehicle. If you
are not satisfied after following the
Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you
may contact the BBB using the toll-free
telephone number, or write them at the
following address:
BBB AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite
800
Arlington, VA 22203
Telephone: 1-800-955-5 IO0
To file a claim, you will be asked to
provide your name and address, your
vehicle identification number
(VIN),
and a statement of the nature of your
complaint. Eligibility is limited
by vehicle
age and mileage, and other factors.
We prefer you utilize the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure before you resort
to AUTO LINE, but you
may contact the
BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt
to resolve the complaint serving as an
intermediary between you and Chevrolet.
If this mediation is unsuccessful, an
informal hearing
will be scheduled where
eligible customers may present their case
to an impartial third-party arbitrator.
The arbitrator
will make a decision which
you may accept or reject.
If you accept the
decision, GM will be bound by that
decision. The entire dispute resolution
procedure should ordinarily take about
forty days from the time you file a claim
until a decision is made.
Some state laws may require you
to use
this program before filing a claim with
a
state-run arbitration program or in the
courts. For further information, contact
the BBB at
1-800-955-5100 or the
Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center
at
1-800-222- 1020.
* This program may not be available
in all states, depending on state law.

information booklet. General Motors
reserves the right to change eligibility
limitations and/or to discontinue its
participation
in this program.
