1996 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN reset

For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want
more cycles, hold the band
on MIST longer.
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 LOW, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed,
turn the band to the LOW position. For high
speed wiping, turn the band further, to
HIGH. To stop the wipers, move the
band to the off symbol.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent
you from seeing well
enough to drive safely.
To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using them.
If they are 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. The windshield wiper motor is
protected from overload by a circuit breaker and
a fuse. If the motor
overheats due to heavy snow, etc.,
the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due
to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the lever
there’s a paddle with
the word PUSH on it.
To spray washer fluid
on the windshield,
push the paddle.
Washer fluid will spray as long as
you push the paddle. When you let go of
the paddle, the wipers will continue to wipe for a few seconds and then
either stop or return to the preset speed.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous.
A bad mud splash can block
your vision. You
could hit another vehicle or go off the road. Check your
washer fluid level often.

To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you apply
the brake.
This, of course, shuts off the Cruise Control. But you don’t need
to reset it.
Once you’re going
about
25 mph (40
km/h) or more, you
can move the Cruise
Control switch from
ON to R/A
(Resume/Accelerate)
for about half
a
1 second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Remember,
if you hold the switch at R/A longer than half a second, the
vehicle will keep going
fater until you release the switch or apply the
brake. You could be startled and even lose control.
So unless you want to go
faster, don’t hold the switch at R/A.
To Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed, Push the button at
the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.

Speedometer and Odometer
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
U.S.) or kilometers
(used
in Canada).
Tamper-Resistant Odometer
Your odometer is tamper-resistant. The odometer will show silver lines
between the numbers
if someone tries to turn it back.
YOLI may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer
installed. Laws vary as to the procedure that must be followed,
so check
with your state or provincial vehicle registration office, But generally,
if the
new odometer 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 reset the trip odometer, fully press the reset button located near the trip
odometer readout.
If the reset button is not fully pressed, the trip odometer
may not go all the way back to zero. If it doesn’t. you may have to press the
reset button again to reset the readout
to zero.
