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 outside temperature, the
kind
of oil you have, and so.me 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 Operation
. --
P RNDD 21
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
transmission, it 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 need to leave your key in the ignition in the OFF
position for an extended period, 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.

Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
Your odometer is tamper resistant. It will show
silver lines between the numbers if someone tries to
turn it back.
‘You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then it
must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero, and a label must be put on
the driver’s door
to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press the button near
the readout.
Tachometer (Option)
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute
(rpm).
Each tachometer has a dlrrerent limit depending on the
powertrain
in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
Normal operating range shows your engine speed during
normal driving conditions. For example, when
the
needle points to 2, it means the engine is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle will vary all the time that the engine is running.
The red warning range tells you that your engine speed
is reaching its upper limits. Don’t drive very long with
the tachometer
in the red warning range. If you have a
manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as soon as
possible.
If. you have an automatic transmission, lift
your foot off of
the accelerator pedal.
The red danger range tells you that your engine speed is
at its upper limits.
You should immediately shift to a
higher gear, or lift your foot off of the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range,
or engine damage will occur. I

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.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan
to HI 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.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use BLEND to keep the
windshield and side windows clear.
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the
windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold
conditions. Turn the temperature knob clockwise
and move the fan control toward
HI.
