Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PARK (P): This locks your rear wheels. It’s the best
position to use when you start your engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily. Ensure the
shift lever is fully in PARK (P) range before
starting the engine.
Your Chevrolet has a
brake-transmission shift interlock. You have to fully
apply your regular brakes before you can shift
from
PARK (P) when the ignition key is in the RUN position.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever
- push the shift lever all the way into
PARK
(P) and also release the shift lever button on floor
shift console models as you maintain brake application.
Then move the shift lever into the gear you wish.
(Press
the shift lever button before moving the shift lever on
floor shift console models.) See “Shifting Out
of
PARK (P)” in this section.
REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up.
NOTICE:
Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is
moving forward could damage your transmission. Shift to REVERSE
(R) only after
your vehicle is
stopped.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine
Running (Automatic Tkansmission)
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, be sure your vehicle
is in PARK (P) and your
parking brake
is firmly set before you leave it. After
you’ve moved the shift lever into the PARK (P)
position, hold the regular brake pedal down. Then, see if
you can move the shift lever away from PARK
(P)
without first pushing the button. If you can, it means
that the shift lever wasn’t fully locked into PARK
(P).
Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your
transmission into PARK
(P) properly, the weight of the
vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in
the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull the
shift lever out of PARK (P). This
is called “torque lock.”
To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then
shift into PARK
(P) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat.
To find out how, see “Shifting into
PARK (P) in the Index.
When
ydu are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of
PARK
(P) before you release the parking brake.
If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have
another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some
of
the pressure from the transmission, so you can pull the
shift lever out
of PARK (P).

(Automatic Transmission)
Your Chevrolet has a brake-transmission shift interlock.
You have to fully apply your regular brake before
you
can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is in the
RUN position.
See “Automatic Transmission” in the
Index.
If you
canil6t shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever
-- push the shift lever all the way into
PARK (P) and release the shift lever button as you
maintain brake application. Then press the shift lever
button and move the shift lever into the gear you wish.
If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t
shift out of PARK
(P), try this:
1. Turn the key to OFF.
2. Apply and hold the brake.
3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N).
4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear YOU
want.
5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.
Parking Your Vehicle
(Manual Transmission)
Before you get out of your vehicle, put your manual
transmission in REVERSE (R) and firmly apply the
parking brake.
If your vehicle is equipped to tow a trailer, see “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index.

High pressure car washes may cause water to
enter your vehicle. Never spray water directly at
the roof panel joints. This will cause leaks.
Reverse the steps aDove to install the T-top panels.
When installing panels, be sure to align weatherstrips
properly. Panels incorrectly installed
may leak.

Start with the panel marked DRIVER FRONT.
Unlatch the driver-side T-top, raise it halfway and
close the latch handle.
With the top raised and resting on the center roof
rail, slide the flat edge of the sunshade panel (with
the vinyl side to the glass) between the glass and
plastic trim, making sure the edge marked
DRIVER

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.

5.7L Engine Only 3800 Engine Only
80 “I 0 120 I! /
This gage tells you if there could be a problem with your
engine
oil pressure. The
engine
oil pressure gage shows the engine oil
pressure
in psi (pounds per square inch) in the U.S., or
kPa (kilopascals)
in Canada, when the engine is running.
Oil pressure should be
20 to 80 psi (140 to 550 kPa). On
the
3.8 L engine the oil pressure should be between
20 and 120 psi (140 to 827 kPa). It may vary with
engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity, but
readings above the red area show
the normal operating
range. Readings
in the red area tell you that the engine is
low on oil, or that you might have some other oil
problem. See “Engine Oil” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If your vehicle suffers a power loss, such as a dead
battery, you can still raise
the top manually by rotating
the valve in the left side
of the trunk.
Open the trunk and find the tab along the left side trim
panel. Lift up the tab and
turn the valve clockwise to
release the hydraulic pressure. Turn the ignition key to
the LOCK position. You can now raise or lower your top
manually. Be sure to close the valve after installing your
top
so you can raise or lower it electronically later.
6. Pull down on the latches and align hooks with holes.
Push forward on the larger part
of the latch until it
clicks.
Do not force the latch. If it is hard to lock, the
top
is not properly aligned.
