1995 CHEVROLET CORVETTE heater

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine Coolant Heater (Canada Only)
In very cold weather, 0°F (- 18 "C) or colder, the engine
coolant heater can help. You'll get easier starting and
better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually,
the coolant heater should be plugged
in a minimum of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To use the coolant heater:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 1 10-volt outlet.

After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the cord
as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts. If you don’t, it could
be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the weather, the kind
of oil
you have, and some other things. Instead
of trying to list
everything here, we ask that you contact your Chevrolet
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle.
The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.
Automatic Transmission
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
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.

Air Control Buttons
OFF: The system is off.
RECIRCULATE: Provides maximum cooling or
quick cool-down
on very hot days. This setting
recirculates most of the air inside your vehicle. If it is
used for long periods of time, the air may become dry.
This setting directs air through the upper air vents. It
will work when the outside temperatures are above
freezing.
'''9 NORMAL A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot
days. This setting cools outside air and directs it through
the instrument panel vents.
The air conditioner compressor also operates in
DEFROST. It only works when the outside temperature is
above freezing. When the air conditioner compressor is on,
you may sometimes notice slight changes in your vehicle's
engine speed and power. This is normal because the
system
is designed to cycle the compressor on and off to
keep the desired cooling and help fuel economy.

Sunload:
This sensor is on top of the instrument panel.
When the inside temperature
is increased by sunlight,
the system will lower the inside temperature up to
5°F
(3 “C) below the setting on the display.
Outside Temperature: This sensor is on the right side
of the upper radiator support in the grille opening. This
is what you usually see on the display.
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:
a Vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least
0 Vehicle speed is above 45 mph (72 km/h) for
This delay helps prevent a false reading. If vehicle speed
remains above
25 mph (40 km/h) or the temperature
goes down, the display is updated immediately.
If your vehicle has been off for more than three hours,
the current outside temperature will be stored in the
system when you start the vehicle.
Inside temperature: This sensor is in the center air
outlet
on the passenger side.
If you block or cover either interior sensor, the system
will give a false reading.
