Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Illuminated EntryLExit System
When you open either front door, or open a rear door,
the lamps inside your vehicle will go
on. These lamps
will fade off after about
40 seconds, or when the ignition
is turned on.
If the ignition has been off for less than two minutes,
the lamps inside your vehicle will stay on for about
15 seconds to provide an illuminated exit when you
remove the key from the ignition.
After you exit the vehicle and all of the doors have been
closed,
the lamps will stay on for an additional four
seconds before fading
off.
Battery Rundown Protection
Your Chevrolet is equipped with a Battery Rundown
Protection feature designed
to protect your vehicle’s
battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, dome, glove
box, etc.) is left
on and the ignition is turned OFF, the
Battery Rundown Protection system will automatically
turn the lamp
off after 20 minutes. This will avoid
draining the battery. This system does not protect
against leaving on the headlamps.
To reactivate the interior lamps, either:
The ignition must be turned on,
The activated lamp switch must be turned off, then
on, OR
A door must be opened.
The Battery
Rundown Protection feature will also be
activated when any door is
left open.
If your vehicle is left with the ignition off for over
24 days, the battery power to the clock and audio
system will turn off to reduce the battery drain. When
the ignition is turned on again, battery power will be
resupplied. Under these conditions it will be necessary
to reset the clock and audio system settings.

Raising the Top Manually

BRAKE
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 Vehicle”
in
the Index.)
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.
