Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature which will allow certain features
of your vehicle
to continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the ignition key is turned
to the OFF position.
Your convertible top, power windows, and audio system
will work when the ignition key
is in the RUN or ACC
positions. Once the key
is turned from RUN to OFF,
these features will continue to work for up to 10 minutes
or until either door is opened.
Your power door unlock and remote hatch release
features will work when the ignition key is
in the RUN
or ACC positions or if either door is open. Once the key
is turned to
OFF, these features will continue to work for
up
to 10 minutes. If either door is open and the ignition
key is
off, these features will continue to work until both
doors have been closed for about
30 seconds or until the
theft-deterrent system arms. At that time, both the
power door unlock and remote hatch release features
will be disabled to enhance the security of the vehicle.
The power door lock function will work at all times
except during Lockout Prevention (if this feature is
enabled). See “Lockout Prevention” in the Index.
Mirrors
Inside Daymight Rearview Mirror
An inside rearview mirror is attached to your windshield.
The mirror has pivots
so that you can adjust it.
You can adjust the mirror for day or night driving. Pull
the tab for night driving
to reduce glare. Push the tab for
daytime driving.
Outside Manual Adjustable Mirror
Adjust the passenger’s side outside mirror by hand so
that you can just see the side of your vehicle when you
are sitting
in a comfortable driving position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Voltmeter
You can read battery
voltage on your voltmeter.
If it reads less than 11 volts
or more than 16 volts while
your engine is running, and
it stays there, you may have
a problem with the
electrical charging system.
Have it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter
reading in
a warning zone could drain your battery.
If you idle your engine for a while, the voltmeter reading
might move into the low voltage zone (indicated by red dots).
If the reading stays in the low voltage zone while you are
driving, you may have a problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked. While
the voltmeter reads in the
low voltage zone, your battery may not be able to power
certain electrical accessories, like
ABS. (If this happens,
your
ABS INOP light will come on. See “Anti-Lock
Brake System Warning Light” in
this section.)
If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone, turn
off all your accessories,
including your air conditioning system and audio system.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Chevrolet’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If
one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem or the brake fluid level could be low. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
BRAKE
This light should come on
briefly when you turn the
ignition key to
RUN. If it
doesn’t come on then,
have it fixed
so it will be
ready to warn you if
there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull
off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal
is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, or if the
anti-lock brake system warning light is flashing, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light” and “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)\

as you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob clockwise to adjust the SCV. Then, as
you drive,
SCV automatically increases the volume,
as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same
to you as you drive.
If you don’t want
to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down. Each detent on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at a faster rate of speed.
