Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Winter Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your Chevrolet in good shape for winter. Be
sure your engine coolant mix is correct.
You may want to put winter emergency supplies in
your trunk. Include an
ice scraper, a small brush
or broom, a supply
of windshield washer fluid,
a rag, some winter outer
clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a
couple of reflective warning triangles. And, if you will
be driving under severe conditions, include a small bag
of sand, a piece
of old carpet or a couple of burlap bags
to help provide traction. Be sure you properly secure
these items
in your vehicle.

You will find a coolant temperature gage on your
Chevrolet’s instrument panel.
You may also find a low
coolant warning light on your Chevrolet’s instrument
panel.
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine
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.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine Coolant
The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when it
is low. If you have a problem with
engine overheating or if you need to add coolant to your
radiator, see “Engine Overheating”
in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Chevrolet will:
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 262” F ( 128 * C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
0 Help keep the proper engine temperature.
0 Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably
distilled) and one-half antifreeze that meets
“GM
Specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage aluminum
parts.
You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to
GM Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush
and refill. If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add
anything else.
I NOTICE:
If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine
could overheat and
be badly damaged. The
repair
cost wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Too much water in the mix can freeze
and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and
other parts.
