1996 CHEVROLET TAHOE climate control

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To shift into or out of 4-WHEEL LOW (4L) or
NEUTRAL (N):
1. Slow the vehicle to a roll, about 1 to 3 mph
(2 to 5 km/h) and shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL (N).
2. Shift the transfer case shift lever in one continuous
motion.
Don’t pause
in NEUTRAL (N) as you shift the
transfer case into 4-WHEEL LOW (4L), or the
gears could clash.
Remember that driving
in 4-WHEEL HIGH (4H) or
4-WHEEL LOW (4L) may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving
in four-wheel drive on dry pavement could
cause your tires
to wear faster and make your transfer
case harder to shift.
When your headlamps or parking lamps are on, rotate the
thumb wheel next to the headlamp switch up to brighten,
and down to dim, your transfer case indicator light.
Electronic Transfer Case (Option)
If your four-wheel-drive vehicle has the electronic
transfer case, the transfer case switches are below and to
the left of the climate controls.
Use these switches to shift into and out of four-wheel
drive.
You can choose among three driving settings:
2HI: This setting is for driving in most street and
highway situations. Your front axle is not engaged
in
two-wheel drive.

In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort
control and audio systems offered with your vehicle. Be
sure to read about the particular systems supplied with
your vehicle. Fan Knob
The knob on the left side of the heating system control
panel controls the fan speed. The knob has four speed
positions. To increase airflow, move the knob toward
HI. To decrease airflow, move it toward LO. To turn the
fan off, move the knob to
OFF. Comfort Controls
Standard Climate Control System Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel lets you select
the relative temperature of the air flowing into the
passenger area of your vehicle. This knob will allow
you
to adjust the relative air temperature independently of
the function knob setting. Move the knob clockwise
toward the red area for warmer air. Move the knob
counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air.

The right knob on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction
of air delivery. The control knob
can
be placed in any position between any two mode
settings to blend the flow of air.

/J VENT This setting directs air through the
instrument panel outlets.
+’ VENT/HEAT Use this setting to divide airflow
between the floor outlets and instrument panel outlets.
+No HEATER: This setting directs air through the
floor outlets.

HI.
To decrease airflow, move it toward LO. To turn the

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system
developed by
the United States National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, which grades tires by
treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This
applies only to vehicles sold
in the United States.) The
grades are molded on the sidewalls
of most passenger
car tires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading system does
not apply to deep tread, winter-type snow tires,
space-saver or temporary use spare tires, tires with
nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to
30 cm),
or to some limited-production tires.
While the tires available on General Motors passenger
cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these
grades, they must also conform to Federal safety
requirements and additional General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on
the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test course. For
example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire
graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due to variations
in driving habits, service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
Traction -- A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B, and
C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement
as measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces
of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based
on braking (straightahead) traction tests and does not
include cornering (turning) traction.
