You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust
a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you
don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you move the lever all the way up or down and
the arrow flashes at twice the normal rate, a signal
bulb may be burned out and other drivers may not see
your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and a blown
fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index).
Headlamp HighLow Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high
to low, pull the turn signal lever all the way toward you.
Then release it.
When the high beams
are
on, this light on the
instrument panel also
will be on.
Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield
wipers by turning the knob
with the wiper symbol on it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the knob 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
knob 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 knob to choose the delay time. The
closer
to LOW, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at
low speed, turn the knob to
the
LOW position. For high-speed wiping, turn the
knob further, to
HIGH. To stop the wipers, move the.
knob to OFF.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer,
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
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.

Cargo on the load floor piled higher than
the seatbacks can be thrown forward
during a sudden stop. You or your
passengers could be injured. Keep cargo
below the top of the seatbacks.
0 Unsecured cargo on the load floor can be
tossed about when driving over rough
terrain. You or your passengers can be
struck by flying objects. Secure the
cargo properly.
0 Heavy loads on the roof raise the vehicle’s
center of gravity, making it more likely to
roll over. You can be seriously or fatally
injured if the vehicle rolls over. Put heavy
loads inside the cargo area, not on the roof.
Keep cargo in the cargo area as
far forward
and low as possible.
You’ll find other important information in this manual.
See “Vehicle Loading,” “Luggage Carrier” and “Tires”
in the Index. Off-road
driving can provide wholesome and satisfying
recreation. However, it also raises environmental
concerns.
GM recognizes these concerns and urges
every off-roader to follow these basic rules for
protecting the environment:
0

0
0
Always use established trails, roads and areas that
have been specially set aside for public off-road
recreational driving; obey all posted regulations.
Avoid any driving practice that could damage the
environment
-- shrubs, flowers, trees, grasses -- or
disturb wildlife (this includes wheel-spinning,
breaking down trees or unnecessary driving through
streams or over soft ground).
Always carry a litter bag
-- make sure all refuse is
removed from any campsite before leaving.
Take extreme care with open fires (where permitted),
camp stoves and lanterns.
Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other
combustible materials that could catch fire from the
heat
of the vehicle’s exhaust system.

want to get the proper service manual. It tells
you much
more about how to service your vehicle than this manual
can.

. and Owner Publications” in the Index.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle” in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and
the mileage and the date
of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index. list
A CAUTION:
You
can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged’if you try
to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
0 Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, and the proper replacement
parts and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.
0 Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused.
If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall
off. You could be hurt. .
