How to Use This Manual 
Many people  read their  owner’s manual from beginning to  end when  they 
first receive  their new vehicle.  This will help you learn about  the  features 
and controls  for your vehicle.  In this manual, you’ll 
find that pictures and 
words  work together 
to explain  things  quickly. 
INDEX: A good place  to look  for what you need is the Index in back of the 
manual.  It’s  an alphabetical  list of  all  that’s 
in the  manual,  and the page 
number where  you’ll find 
it. 
SECTION 1-6: Each section  of this  manual  begins with a brief  list of its 
contents, so you can often find  at a glance if a section contains the 
information  you want. 
SECTION 7: This section  of the  manual  covers the maintenance required 
for  your vehicle. 
SECTION 8 CUSTOMER  ASSISTANCE: This  section  includes 
important information  about  reporting safety defects  and gives 
you details 
about the  “Roadside  Assistance’’  program. 
You will also find customer 
satisfaction phone numbers  (including  customer satisfaction numbers  for the 
hearing and speech  impaired) as well  as the  mediatiodarbitration  procedure. 
We’ve  also included  ordering information for service  publications 
in this 
section.

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. 
How to Operate Your AM ETR Radio 
To Play the Radio 
Press  the PWR-VOL-TONE knob to  switch  the  radio on and off. This 
knob does  two other  things: 
It controls  the  volume.  Rotate  the VOL knob clockwise to increases  the 
volume. 
The  knob  behind  the PWR-VOL knob is the TONE knob.  Rotate  this 
knob  clockwise 
for more  treble  and counterclockwise for more  bass.

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. 
Hydroplaning  usually happens  at  higher  speeds.  There just isn’t  a hard  and 
fast  rule about  hydroplaning.  The best  advice 
is to slow  down  when  it is 
raining. 
Some  Other Rainy Weather Tips 
Turn on ybur low-beam  headlights - not just your parKing  lights - to 
help  make 
you more  visible  to others. 
Besides slowing  down,  allow some extra  following  distance.  And  be 
especially  careful  when  you  pass another  vehicle.  Allow  yourself  more 
clear  room  ahead,  and  be  prepared  to have  your  view  restricted  by  road 
spray. 
Have  good  tires  with  proper  tread  depth. (See  “Tires”  in  the  Index.) 
City Driving 
One of the  biggest  problems  with  city  streets is the  amount of traffic on 
them.  You’ll  want  to watch out for  what  the  other drivers  are doing  and  pay 
attention  to  traffic  signals. 
Here  are ways 
to increase  your  safety in city  driving:

Customer  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  often 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
