Charging System Light
The charging system light will come on
briefly when you turn on the ignition
and the engine is not running, as a
check to show you it is working. Then it
should
go out. If it stays on, or comes
on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with the electrical charging
system. It could indicate that you have
a loose generator drive belt, or another
electrical problem. Have it checked
right away. Driving while this light is on
could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with
the light on, be certain to turn
off all
your accessories, such as the radio and

Ventilation Tips
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,
reducing the chance
of fogging the
inside of your windows.
In cold weather, turn the blower fan
to
HI for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake
ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front
seats clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio
systems available for your Chevrolet,
and how to get the best performance
from them. Please read about the
system in your vehicle.
Hearing damage from loud noise is
almost undetectable until it is too late.
Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes
of sound. Sound that seems
normal can be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting
the volume control on your radio to a
safe sound level before your hearing
adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss
or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the
Increase volume slowly until you hear

comfortably and clearly.
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, DelcoB 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.
