1995 CHEVROLET CAVALIER clock

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speed limit signs near curves warn that you should
adjust
your speed. Of course, the posted speeds are
based on good weather and road conditions. Under less
favorable conditions you’ll want
to go slower.
If you need to reduce your speed as you approach a
curve, do
it before you enter the curve, while your front
wheels are straight ahead.
Try to adjust your speed
so you can “drive” through the
curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to
accelerate until you are out of the curve, and then
accelerate gently
into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective than
braking. For example, you come over
a hill and find a
truck stopped
in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out
from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked
cars and stops right
in front of you. You can avoid these
problems by braking
-- if you can stop in time. But
sometimes
you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the time for
evasive action
-- steering around the problem.
Your Chevrolet can perform very well
in emergencies
like these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking
in
Emergencies” earlier in this section.) It is better to
remove
as much speed as you can from a possible collision. Then
steer around the problem,
to the left or
right depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If
you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it
a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But
you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once
you have
avoided the object.
The
fxt that such emergency situations are always
possible
is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.

handle clockwise
to raise the jack head a few inches.
5. Using the wheel wrench, remove the plastic cap nuts.
If your vehicle has aluminum wheels,
you may have
to remove a cover plate to access the wheel nuts. Use
the flat end
of the wheel wrench to remove the cover
plate.
Loosen all the wheel nuts. Don’t remove the
wheel nuts yet.
6. Near each wheel well is a notch in the frame which
the jack head fits in. The front notch
is 9 inches
(23 cm) back from the front wheel well. The rear
notch
is 8 inches (20 cm) forward from the rear
wheel well. If your vehicle has flared side moldings,
both front and rear notches are 18 inches
(46 cm)
from the wheel wells.
Position the jack under the vehicle. Raise the jack
head
until it fits firmly into the notch in the vehicle’s
frame nearest the flat tire. Put the compact spare tire
near
you.
