SERVICE
ENGINE SOON
A computer monitors operation of your fuel, ignition
and emission control systems. This amber indicator light
should come
on when the ignition is on, but the engine
is
not running, as a check to show you it is working. If it
does not come on at all, have it fixed right away. If
it
stays on, or it comes on while you are driving, the
computer is indicating that you have a problem. You
should take your vehicle in for service soon.
NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light
on, after a while the emission controls won’t
work as well, your fuel economy won’t be as good
and your engine may not run
as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs not covered by your
warranty.
OBD I1 3800 L36 Engine (Code K)
Certain vehicles are equipped with a new emission
diagnostic system. You can tell whether your vehicle has
this system by reading your tune-up label Iocated under
the hood. If the label says OBD I1 on it, the following
instructions apply.
Your Chevrolet is equipped with an onboard computer
which monitors operation
of the emission control
system. This system is called
OBD I1 (On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended
to
assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life
of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. The SERVICE ENGINE
SOON light
comes on to indicate when service is required.
Malfunctions often will be indicated by the system

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When it’s Time for New Tires
One way to tell when it’s
time for new tires is
to
check the treadwear
indicators, which will
appear when your tires have
only 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or
less of tread remaining.
You need a new tire
if
a
a
a
e
a
You can see the indicators at three or more places
around the tire.
You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s
rubber.
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep
enough to show cord or fabric.
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
The tire has
a puncture, cut, or other damage that
can’t be repaired
well because of the size or location
of
the damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at
the Tire-Loading Information label.
The tires installed
on your vehicle when it was new had
a Tire Performance Criteria Speci€ication (TPC Spec)
number on each tire’s sidewall. When
you get new tires,
get ones with that same TPC Spec number. That way,
your vehicle will continue to have tires that are designed
to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating,
traction, ride and other things during normal service on
your vehicle.
If your tires have an all-season tread
design, the TPC number will be followed by an
“MS”
(for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with those not having a
TPC Spec number, make sure they are the same size,
load range, speed rating
and construction type (bias,
bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.
