Add-on Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Chevrolet
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle and
the damage wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other
components from working
as they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your Chevrolet, see “Servicing
Your
Air Bag-Equipped Chevrolet” in the Index.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses. Should your
headlamps fail to function have your headlamp system
checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuse
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 moIor 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.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace
a bad fuse with a new one of the identical
size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without -- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse if it is the correct amperage.
Replace
it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the
instrument panel fuse block and the engine compartment
fuse block.

Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. See
“Manual Transaxle” in the Index. A fluid loss may
indicate
a problem. Check the system and repair if needed.
At Least Once a Year
Automatic TLansaxle Check (Except 2.4L Code
T Engine)
Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. See
“Automatic Transaxle”
in the Index. A fluid loss may
indicate
a problem. Check the system and repair if needed.
Automatic Transaxle Inspection (2.4L Code
T Engine Only)
If you have the optional 2.4L Code T engine (see “Engine
Identification”
in the Index) and an automatic transaxle, it is
not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level.
A transaxle
fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss. Check for leaks\
.
If a
leak occurs,
take the vehicle to your Chevrolet dealership
Service Department and have it repaired
as soon as possible.
You may
also have your fluid checked by your dealer or
service center when you have your engine
oil changed.
HyG lulic Clutch System Check
Check the fluid level in the clutch reservoir. See
“Hydraulic Clutch Fluid” in the Index.
A fluid loss in
this system could indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired at once.
Key Lock Cylinders Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified
in Part D.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all body door and rear compartment hinges. Also lubricate all hinges and latches, including those for
the primary and secondary hood latches, glove box door,
console door and any folding seat hardware.
Part D tells
you what to use. More frequent lubrication may be
required when exposed to a corrosive environment.
Starter Switch Check
I A CAUTION:
When you are doing this check, the vehicle could
move suddenly.
If it does, you or others could be
injured. Follow the steps below.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 2. Firmly apply both the parking brake (see “Parking
Brake” in the Index
if necessary) and the regular brake.
NOTE: Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transaxle vehicles, try to start the
engine in each gear. The starter should work only in
PARK
(P) or NEUTRAL (N). If the starter works in
any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transaxle vehicles, put the shift lever in
NEUTRAL
(N), push the clutch down halfway and
try to start the engine. The starter should work only
when the clutch is pushed down all the way to the
floor. If the starter works when the clutch isn’t
pushed all the way down, your vehicle needs service.
Brake-Tkansaxle Shift Interlock (BTSI) Check
(Automatic Transaxle)
When
you are doing this check, the vehicle could
move suddenly. If it does, you or others could be
injured. Follow the steps below.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room around
the vehicle. It should be parked
on a level surface.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake (see “Parking Brake”
in the Index if necessary).
NOTE: Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately
if the vehicle begins to move.
3. With the engine off, turn the key to the RUN position,
but don’t start the engine. Without applying the regular
brake,
try to move the shift lever out of PARK (P)
with normal effort. If the shift lever moves out of
PARK (P), your vehicle’s BTSI needs service.
Steering Column Lock Check
While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn
the key to LOCK in each shift lever position.
‘With an automatic transaxle, the key should turn to
LOCK only when the shift lever is in PARK
(P).
With a manual transaxle, the key should turn to LOCK
only when the shift lever is
in REVERSE (R).
On vehicles with a key release button, try to turn the key
to LOCK without pressing the button. The key should
turn to LOCK only when you press the key button.
On all vehicles, the key should come out only in LOCK.
I
- -
I Turn the steering wheel to the left and to the right. It
should only lock when turned to the right.
