NOTICE:
If your engine catches fire because
you keep driving with no coolant,
your vehicle can be badly damaged.
The costly repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
If No Steam Is Coming From your
Engine
If you get the overheat warning but see
or hear no steam, the problem may not
be too serious. Sometimes the engine
can get a little too hot when you:
Climb a long hill on a hot day.
Stop after high speed driving.
Idle for long periods in traffic.
If you get the overheat warning with no
sign
of steam, try this for a minute or so:
1. If you have an air conditioner, turn it
2. Turn on your heater to full hot at the
Off.
highest fan speed and open the
windows as necessary.
3.
Try to keep your engine under load
(in
a drive gear where the engine
runs slower).
If you no longer have the overheat
warning, you can drive. Just
to be safe,
drive slower for about ten minutes.
If
the warning doesn’t come back on, you
can drive normally.
If the warning continues, pull over,
stop, and park your vehicle right away.
If there’s still no sign
of steam, you can
idle the engine for two or three minutes
while you’re parked, to see if the
warning stops. But then, if you still
have the warning, TURN
OFF THE
ENGINE AND
GET EVERYONE OUT
OF THE VEHICLE until it cools down.
You may decide not
to lift the hood but
to get service help right away.
hdirtg system (2.2L L4 ENGINE)
When you decide it’s safe to lift the
hood, here’s what you’ll see:
(A) Coolant recovery tank
(B) Radiator pressure cap
(C) Electric engine fan
If the coolant inside the coolant recovery
tank is boiling, don’t do anything else
until
it cools down. I37

NOTICE:
If your Chevrolet has P195/70R14,
P195/65R15 or P205/60R15 size
tires, don’t use tire chains; they can
damage your vehicle. If you have
other tires, use tire chains only
where legal and only when you
must. Use only
SAE Class “S” type
chains that are the proper size for
your tires. Install them on the front
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
chains contacting your vehicle, stop
and retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it stops.
Driving too fast with chains on will
damage your vehicle.
Uppearance Care
Remember, cleaning products can be
hazardous. Some are toxic. Others can
burst into flame
if you strike a match or
get them on a hot part of the vehicle.
Some are dangerous
if you breathe their
fumes in a closed space. When you use
anything from a container to clean your
Chevrolet, be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. And always open your
doors or windows when you’re cleaning
the inside.

Cleaning Vinyl
Use warm water and a clean cloth.
Rub with a clean, damp cloth to
remove dirt.
You may have to do it
more than once.
polish will stain if you don’t get them
off quickly. Use a clean cloth and a
solvent-type vinyl cleaner.
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe
Cleaning the Top of the
Instrument Panel
Use only mild soap and water to clean
the top surfaces of the instrument
panel. Sprays containing silicones or
waxes may cause annoying reflections
in the windshield and even make it
difficult to see through the windshield
under certain conditions.
1 Ckaning the Cupholder
If beverages get spilled on your
cupholder, it may become difficult to
operate. The slider mechanism can
become clogged with pop, coffee, etc.
To clean and return the cupholder to normal
operation, simply spray
a water-
based cleaner (such as Glass Plus@ or
Windex@) on the tracks of the slider
mechanism, and then slide the
cupholder in and out until normal
operation
is regained. Hold a paper
towel under the cupholder to catch any
excess cleaner which could drip on your
carpet or seats.
Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM
Glass Cleaner
(GM Part No. 1050427)
or a liquid household glass cleaner will
remove normal tobacco smoke and dust
films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass,
because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals
on the inside rear
window, since they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are
used on the inside of the rear window,
an electric defogger element may be
damaged. Any temporary license should
not be attached across the defogger grid.
I Cleaning the Outside of the
Windshield and Wiper
Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using
the windshield washer, or if the wiper
blade chatters when running, wax or
other material may be on the blade
or
windshield.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlight Wiring
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker in the fuseblock. 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 system checked right away.
To access the headlight circuit breaker,
squeeze the plastic clip together and
remove.
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, have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel
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.
