you set your parking brake, and it will stay

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
INOP
With the anti-lock brake system, this light will come on
when
you start your engine and it will stay on for three
seconds. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come
on,
have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a
problem.
If the light flashes
when you’re driving, you don’t have
anti-lock brakes and there could be a problem with your
regular brakes. Pull off the road and stop carefully. You
may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal
may go closer
to the floor. It may take longer to stop.
Have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your
Car” in the Index.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the anti-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you’ve started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes
on and stays on
when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system.
If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you’re driving, your Chevrolet needs service. If
the light is on but
not flashing and the regular brake
system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but
you don’t have anti-lock brakes.
ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) System
Warning Light (Option)
ASR
OFF
This warning light should come on briefly as you start
the engine.
If the warning light doesn’t come on then,
have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a
problem. If it stays on, or comes
on when you’re
driving, there may be a problem with your
ASR system
and your vehicle may need service. When this warning
light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust
your driving accordingly.
If your brakes begin
to overheat, the brake portion of the
ASR system will shut down, but the throttle and engine
spark control will continue to work. The warning light
will not come on when this happens.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The ASR system warning light may come on for the
following reasons: Low Traction Light
If you turn the system off by pressing the button
located on the console near the cigarette lighter, the
warning light will come
on and stay on. To turn the
system back
on, press the button again. The warning
light should
go off. (See “ASR System” in the Index
for more information.)
0 If the temperature of the throttle control begins to
rise, the system will turn off and the warning light
will come on until the system cools down. The
system
does this to prevent damage from
overheating.
If the ASR system warning light comes on and stays on
for an extended period of time when the system is
turned on, your vehicle needs service. When your anti-lock
system is adjusting brake pressure to help avoid a braking skid, the LOW TRAC light will
appear on your instrument cluster. If you have the
ASR
system, this light will also come on when the system is
limiting wheel spin. Slippery road conditions may exist
if this light comes
on, so adjust your driving
accordingly. The light will stay on for a few seconds
after the anti-lock system stops adjusting brake pressure
or the
ASR system stops limiting wheel spin.
The
LOW TRAC light also comes on briefly, as a bulb
check, when
the engine is started. If the light doesn’t
come
on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you
when the anti-lock brake system or
ASR system is active.

This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the
gage pointer moves into the red area, your engine is too
hot! It means that your engine coolant has overheated.
If
you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull
off the road, stop
your vehicle and turn
off the engine as soon as possible.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN YOU BADLY!
In “Problems
on the Road,” this manual shows what to
do. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index. This
red warning light should
come on while you are
starting your engine.
If the light doesn’t come on, have it
repaired. The light also comes on when the coolant in
your radiator is low. You may need to add coolant. See
the Index under “Engine Coolant.”
NOTICE:
Driving with the LOW COOLANT light on could
cause your Chevrolet to overheat. See “Engine
Overheating’’ in the Index. Your Chevrolet could
be damaged, and it wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine before any problem is apparent, which may prevent
more serious damage to your vehicle. This system is
also designed to assist your service technician in
correctly diagnosing any malfunction.
The SERVICE ENGINE
SOON light should come on,
as a check to show you it is working, when the ignition
is on and the engine is not running. This light will also
come on during a malfunction in one of two ways:
Light on steady - indicates a system malfunction has
been detected. Drive the vehicle to the dealer for
service at your first opportunity.
0 Light flashing - indicates a misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission control system. The
damage may be reduced by lowering the vehicle
speed, reducing the amount of cargo being hauled or
trailered, avoiding hard acceleration, or
by avoiding
steep uphill grades. If these actions are effective, the
light will stop flashing and remain on steady. Drive
the vehicle to a dealer for service. If the light
continues to flash, stop the vehicle. Wait for
a steady
light to come on,
then drive the vehicle to a dealer
for service. These
following conditions also may cause the
SERVICE ENGINE SOON light to come on:
Low Fuel/Out of Fuel
- As the vehicle starts to run out
of fuel the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light may come
on as a result of an engine misfire. Filling your gasoline
tank should correct this condition. Make sure to install
the gas cap fully. It will require a few driving trips to
turn the light off.
Poor Quality Fuel
- Be sure to fuel your vehicle with
quality fuel. Your engine may not run efficiently on poor
fuel.
Poor fuel may cause stalling, hesitation or misfire.
These conditions may go away when the engine is
warmed-up. However, poor quality fuel may cause the
SERVICE ENGINE SOON light to come on.
Have a dealer check the vehicle. If
no problems are
found, you may want to change to another brand of fuel.
Driving Through Standing Water
- Driving your vehicle
through puddles
of deep standing water may result in a
temporary misfire condition. This condition will usually
correct itself shortly after the electrical system dries out.
It will require a few driving trips to turn the light off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in
spurts
-- heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking
-- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a
mistake. Your brakes may
not have time to cool between
hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster if
you
do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace with the
traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will
eliminate a lot
of unnecessary braking. That means
better braking and longer brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake
normally but don’t pump your brakes.
If you do, the
pedal may get harder to push down. If your engine
stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But
you will
use it when you brake. Once the power assist is
used up, it may take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder
to push.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)
Your Chevrolet has an advanced electronic braking
system that will help prevent a braking
skid.

anti-lock brake system, the anti-lock brake system
warning light will stay
on or flash.
