Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system
developed by the United States National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires by
treadwear, traction and temperature performance.
(This
applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.)
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on
the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions
on a specified government test course. For
example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire
graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon
the actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due to variations
in driving habits, service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B,
and C. They represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces
of asphalt and
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based
on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not
include cornering (turning) traction.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other
salts, ice melting agents, road
oil and tar, tree sap. bird
droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc. can
damage your vehicle's finish
if they remain on painted
surfaces.
Wash the vehicle as soon as possible. If
necessary, use non-abrasive cleaners that are marked
safe for painted surfices
to remove foreign matter.
Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, weather
and chemical fallout that can take their
toll over a period
of years. You can help to keep the paint finish looking
new by keeping your Chevrolet garaged or covered
whenever possible.
Cleaning Your Convertible Top
Your convertible top should be cleaned often. If you use
an automatic car
wash, use one with water jets and
hanging cloths.
When you hand wash the top,
do it in partial shade. Use
a mild soap, lukewarm water and
a soft sponge. A
chamois or cloth may leave lint on the top, and a brush
can chate the tllreads
in the top fabric. Don't use
detergents, harsh cleaners, solvents or bleaching agents. When you
clean the top, put one hand under it
to
support it. Wet the entire vehicle and wilsh the top
evenly to avoid spots or rings. Let the soap remain
on
the fabric for a few minutes. When the top is really dirty,
use a mild foam-type cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the
entire vehicle,
then let the top dry in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
0 After you wash the vehicle, make sure the top is
completely
dry before you lower it.
0 Don't get any cleaner on the vehicle's painted finish:
it could leave streaks.
0 It' you decide to go through an automatic car wash,
ask the manager
if the equipment could damage your
top. Before entering
a car wash, set the climate
control
to VENT and the fan control to the highest
speed. This
will help to prevent water under high
pressure
from entering around the convertible top.
