moment.  This  is  normal. 
Low Oil Level Light 
Don’t  keep  driving  if  the  oil  pressure  is  low.  If 
you  do, your  engine  can  become 
so hot  that  it 
catches  fire.  You or others  could  be  burned. 
Check  your  oil  as soon  as possible  and  have  your 
vehicle  serviced. 
I NOTICE: 
Damage  to  your  engine  from  neglected  oil 
problems  can  be  costly  and 
is not  covered  by  your 
warranty. 
LOW 
OIL 
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  turn 
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.

Vacuum and brush  the area  to remove  any  loose  dirt. 
Always  clean  a  whole  trim panel or section.  Mask 
surrounding  trim along  stitch or welt lines. 
Mix  Multi-Purpose  Powdered Cleaner  following  the 
directions  on  the container  label. 
Use  suds  only and apply with  a  clean  sponge. 
Don’t  saturate 
the material. 
Don’t  rub 
it roughly. 
As soon as  you’ve  cleaned  the section,  use a sponge 
to  remove  the suds. 
Rinse  the section  with a  clean,  wet sponge. 
Wipe  off  what’s  left with 
a slightly  damp  paper  towel 
or  cloth. 
Then  dry 
it immediately  with a blow dryer. 
Wipe  with a clean  cloth. 
Using Solvent-wpe Cleaner on Fabric 
First,  see  if  you have to use  solvent-type  cleaner  at  all. 
Some  spots  and stains  will clean  off better  with just 
water and mild  soap.  If  you 
need to use  a  solvent: 
0 Gently  scrape  excess  soil  from  the  trim  material  with  a 
clean,  dull  knife  or scraper.  Use  very  little  cleaner,  light 
pressure  and  clean  cloths  (preferably  cheesecloth). 
Cleaning  should 
start at  the  outside of the  stain, 
“feathering”  toward  the  center.  Keep  changing  to a 
clean  section 
of the  cloth. 
0 When  you clean  a  stain from  fabric,  immediately 
dry the area with  a blow  dryer  to help  prevent  a 
cleaning  ring. 
Fabric  Protection 
Your Chevrolet  has upholstery  and carpet that has  been 
treated  with Scotchgard”  Fabric Protector, 
a 3M 
product. It protects fabrics by repelling  oil and  water, 
which  are the carriers  of most stains. Even  with this 
protection,  you still need  to clean  your upholstery  and 
carpet often to keep  it looking  new. 
Further  information  on  cleaning 
is available by calling 
1-800-433-3296  (in Minnesota,  1-800-642-6
