1995 CHEVROLET TAHOE display

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
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 GM
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
T
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, it now features
an electronic shift position indicator within
the instrument cluster. This
display must be powered anytime the shift lever
is capable of being moved
out
of the PARK (P) position. This means that if your key is in the OFF
position, but not locked, there will be a small current drain on your battery
which could discharge your battery over a period of time. If you have a need
to leave your key
in the ignition in the OFF position for an extended period
for any reason,
it is recommended that you disconnect the battery cable
from the battery to prevent discharging your battery.
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.

Inside Mirror
Push or pull the tab
under the mirror to
reduce glare from
headlamps behind you
after dark.
Electrochromic lnside Rearview Mirror with Compass
(Option)
Your vehicle may have an optional electrochromic inside rearview mirror.
An electrochromic inside rearview mirror, when on, automatically dims to
the proper level to minimize glare from lights behind you after dark.
The mirror also includes an eight point compass display
in the upper right
corner of
the mirror face. When on, the compass automatically calibrates as
the vehicle is driven.
To use the electrochromic mirror only, move the switch at the bottom of the
mirror
to the M position. To use the electrochromic mirror as well as the
compass, move the switch to the
C/M position. To turn both features off,
move the switch to
the OFF position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Compass Operation
When the ignition is on and the mirror switch is in the C/M position, the
compass display will show two character boxes for approximately two
seconds.
If, after two seconds, the display does not show a compass heading
(“N” for North, for example), there may be strong magnetic field interfering
with the compass. Such interference may include magnetic antenna mounts,
a magnetic note pad holder, or a similar magnetic item. If removing these
items does
not correct the condition, see your GM dealer for assistance.
When cleaning
the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner.
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that
may cause liquid cleaner
to enter the mirror housing.
Compass Variance
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross-country trip, it
will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate for compass
variance. Compass variance
is the difference between earth’s magnetic
North and true geographic North.
If not adjusted to account for compass
variance, your compass could give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance:
1. Press and hold the CAL switch, located at the bottom of the mirror
housing, for five seconds
until a zone number appears in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance zone number on the following
zone map.

your vehicle, and have
a clear view of objects
behind you. Some
mirrors can be folded
in
to enter narrow
doorways.
Electric Outside Rearview Mirrors
If you have electric mirrors, they can be adjusted to point where you want
from inside the vehicle.
Select the mirror you
want to move by
moving the center
of
the switch, located on
the driver’s door
armrest, to
R (right) or
L (left).
Then, adjust the mirror angle by pressing the outer arrows on the switch
until the mirror is adjusted where you want it.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror may be convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more from the driver’s
seat.

Warning Lights and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures will help
you locate them.
Warning lights and gages
can signal that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention
to your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with
one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come
on briefly when you start the engine just to let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should
not be alarmed when
this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be
or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together
to let you
know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells
you what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting
to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They‘re a big help.
