1995 CHEVROLET CAMARO tow

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine THIRD (D): This is like @, but you never go into
Overdrive.
Here are some times you might choose
D instead of 0:
- When driving on hilly, winding roads
- When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
between gears
- When going down a steep hill
SECOND
(2): This position gives you more power but
lower fuel economy. You can use
SECOND (2) on hills.
It can help control your speed as you go down steep
mountain roads, but then you would also want to use
your brakes
off and on.
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in SECOND (2) for more than
5 miles (8 km), or at speeds over 55 mph
~ (88 km/h), or you can damage your transmission.
Use
@ or DRIVE (D) as much as possible.
Don’t shift into SECOND
(2) unless you are going
slower than
65 mph (105 kd), or you can
damage your engine.
FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power
(but lower fuel economy) than
SECOND (2). You can
use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud.
If the
selector lever is put in
FIRST (1) the transmission won’t
shift into first gear until the vehicle is going slowly
enough.
I NOTICE:
If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud
or were up against a solid
object.
You could damage your transmission.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could overheat and damage the
transmission. Use your brakes or shift into
PARK (P) to hold your vehicle in position on
a hill.
Maximum engine speed is limited to protect driveline
components from improper operation.

until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until

If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index).
