1996 CHEVROLET TAHOE instrument cluster

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Automatic Transmission Operation
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
Your vehicle now 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, rather than the
LOCK position, there will be a small current drain on
your battery which could discharge your battery over a
period
of time. If you have a need to leave your key in
the ignition in the
OFF position for an extended period
for any reason, 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.
A CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the
shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to.
If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle won’t move, even when you’re
on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
CAUTION: (Continued)

released. The wiper will continue with three more wipes
and then return to the setting that was chosen before the

the front windshield washer. If the fluid level is low in the washer fluid bottle,
you may not be able to wash
your rear window.
If you can’wash your windshield, but
not your rear window, check the fluid level.
Cruise Control (Option)
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise
control does
not work at speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, cruise control shuts off.

can’t drive safely at a steady speed.
So,
don’t use your cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.

in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don’t use cruise control on slippery roads.
