Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine New Vehicle “Break-In” Ignition
Switch
NOTICE:
Your modern Chevrolet doesn’t need an
elaborate “break-in.” But it will perform better
in the long run if you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow -- for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle
starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this “breaking-in” guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See
“Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for more
information.
0 Avoid making hard stops for the first
With the ignition key
in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch
to five positions:
ACC
(A): This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off.
To
use ACC, push in the key and turn it toward you. Your
steering wheel will stay locked.
LOCK
(B): Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK.
It’s also the only position
in which you can remove your key. This position locks
your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s
a
theft-deterrent feature.

To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold
it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow
flashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won’t
see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the green arrows don’t
go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers’’ in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
A chime will sound if you leave your turn signal on for
more than
1/2 mile (0.8 km).
Headlamp High-Low Beam Windshield Wipers

wipers by turning the band
marked WIPER. For a

To change your headlamps
from low beam
to high
beam, or high to low, pull
the multifunction lever all
the way toward you. Then
release it. When
the high
beams are on, a blue light
on the instrument panel also
will be on.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band to LO. For
high-speed wiping, turn the band further, to
HI. To stop
the wipers, turn the band
to OFF.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow.
Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
Be sure to clear ice and
snow from the wiper blades
before using them.
If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them, If your blades
do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the underhood electrical center. An electrical overload
will cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases
to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlamp
system checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem, have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed.
