This switch controls the brightness of your
instrument panel lights. Turn the switch to brighten or
dim the lamps.
If you turn the switch all the way up,
your courtesy lamps will come on.
Daytime Running Lamps (Canada)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier to see
the front
of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be
helpful when it’s raining and in the short periods after
dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on
when:
0 The ignition is on
The headlamp switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on,
only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker
and other lamps
won’t be
on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When
it’s dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will go
out and your headlamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come
on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go off, and your front turn signal lamps come on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system any time you need
it.

Your passenger’s side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more
from the driver’s seat.
Floor Mats
Your Chevrolet’s floor mats are custom-fitted to the foot
wells. Be sure the driver’s floor mat is in place. If it
isn’t, it could interfere with the accelerator or brake
pedals.
Twin Lift-off Roof Panels (Option)
If you have this option, you can remove one or both
lift-off roof panels.

There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows
AIR BAG.
AIR BAG
The system checks the air
bag’s electrical system for
malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an
electrical problem.
The system check includes the air bag sensors and
modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the
air bag system, see “Air Bag”
in the Index.
You will see this light flash for a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to
RUN or START. Then the light
should go out. This means the system is ready.
If the
air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you
start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Chevrolet’s hydraulic
brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn’t
working, the other part
can
still work and stop you. For
good braking, though, you
need both parts working
well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on briefly as you start the
vehicle.
If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it
will be ready
to warn you if there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, 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. If the light
is still on, or if the
anti-lock brake system warning light is flashing, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light” and “Towing Your
Car” in the
Index.)
2-69
Page 122 of 388
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The brake system warning light will also come on when
you set your parking brake, and it will stay
on if your
parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays
on after
your parking brake is fully released, it means you have a
brake problem.
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.
