Fuel Gage

E F
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left when the ignition
is on. When the indicator
nears EMPTY
(E), you still
have a little fuel left, but
you should get more soon.
Here are some things owners ask about. All these
situations are normal and do not show a problem with
your fuel gage:
At the service station, the pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL (F).
0 It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage
indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated
the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more
or less than half
the tank’s capacity to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed
up.

charging system light
come on briefly when
turn on the ignition, as
a check to show you it’s
working. Then it should go
out.
If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you
may have a problem with the charging system. It could
indicate that you have a loose drive belt or another
electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving
while this light is
on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn
off all your accessories, such as the radio

When the key is turned to
RUN or START, a chime
will come on for about eight
seconds
to remind people to
fasten their safety belts,
unless the driver’s safety
belt is already buckled.
The safety belt light will also come on and stay on
until
the driver’s belt is buckled.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR
BAG or the air bag symbol.
The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for
malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. The system check includes the air bag sensors
and modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the air bag system, see “Air Bag”
in the Index.
You will see this light flash
for
a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to RUN
or START. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.

If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you
start your vehicle, or
stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system,
this light will come
on when you start your
engine and
it will stay on
@
ANTI - for three seconds. That’s
normal.
If the light doesn’t
come on, have it fixed
so it
will be ready to warn you
if
there is a problem.
If the light flashes when you’re driving, you don’t have
anti-lock brakes and there could be a problem with your
regular brakes. 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.
Have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your
Vehicle” in the Index.)
If the anti-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you’ve started your engine, turn
the ignition
off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you’re driving, stop as
soon as possible and tum
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system.
If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you’re driving, your Chevrolet needs service.
If
the light is on but not flashing and the regular brake
system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but
you don’t have anti-lock brakes.

A computer monitors
operation
of your fuel,
ignition and emission
control systems. This 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Oil Warning Light
E
If you have a problem with
your oil,
this light may stay
on after you start your
engine, or come on when
you
are driving.
This indicates that oil is not going through your engine
quickly enough to keep
it lubricated. The engine could
be low on oil
or could have some other oil problem.
Have it fixed right away.
The oil light could also come on in three other
situations:
0 When the ignition is on but the engine is not running,
the light will come on as
a test to show you it is
working, but the light will go out when you
turn the
ignition to
START. If it doesn’t come on with the
ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or
bulb. Have it fixed right away.
0 Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the
light may blink on and
off. This is normal.
0 If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for a
moment. This is normal.
I NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by your
warranty.

Low Oil Level Light
Your engine is equipped
with an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
key is turned on, the LOW
OIL light will briefly flash.
If the light does not flash,
have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface and
turm the engine off. Check the oil level using the engine oil
dipstick. (See “Engine Oil” in the Index.) If the light does
not flash, have the low oil level sensor system repaired
so
it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil
level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check is
only performed if the engine has been turned off for a
considerable period of time, allowing the oil normally
in
circulation to drain back into the oil pan. This light
will come on
when you turn the key to
START and stay on until the
vehicle starts. It will also
come on and stay on if your
key is too dirty or wet for
the PASS-Key@II system to
read the resistor pellet.
If the resistor pellet is damaged or missing, the light will
flash.
If you’re driving and the light comes on and remains on,
your PASS-Key% system is
not working properly.
Your vehicle is not protected by PASS-Key@II, and you
should see your dealer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear
window. Press the button to
turn the defogger on. It will
turn itself-off after about
10 minutes.
Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your velucle's flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside
air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside air will
also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning fan is running.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction, such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows.
If you
turn it on again, the defogger will only run for about
five minutes before turning
off. You can also turn it off by
turning
off the ignition or pressing the button again.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or decal across the defogger
grid.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do,' you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set the
mode to
FLOOR and the fan to the highest speed for
a few moments before driving off. This helps clear
the intake ducts
of snow and moisture and reduces
the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
