1997 CHEVROLET CAMARO alarm

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If it’s bright enough outside, the DRL system will make
your front turn signal lamps come on when:
0 The ignition is on,
0 The headlamp switch is off and
0 The parking brake is released.
When the
DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When
you use your turn signals, the front turn signal and
the taillamp of the desired side will flash.
When it’s dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will
go out and your headlamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go
off, and your front turn signal lamps will come on.
As with any vehicle,
you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.
Fog Lamps (If Equipped)
Use your fog lamps for
better vision in foggy or
misty conditions. Your
parking lamps must be
on or your fog lamps
won’t work.
$0 To turn the fog lamps on, push the top of the fog
lamp switch. Push the bottom of the switch to turn the
fog lamps off.
A light on the switch will come on when
the fog lamps are
on.
Fog lamps will go off whenever your high beams come
on. When the high beams
go off, the fog lamps will
come
on again.
If your vehicle
is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrentIAlarm System and your fog lamp switch
is on, the fog lamps may flash, along with the parking
lamps,
to indicate operation of the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrentIAlarm System. See “Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrentIAlarm System” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if your Chevrolet needs a
new odometer installed.
If possible, the new one has to be
set to the same reading the old one had.
If it can’t be, then
it’s set at zero, but a label on the driver’s door must\
show
the old reading and when the new one was installed.
Dip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your car has been
driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press the knob.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that may
be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when
there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As you will
see in the details on the next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when you
start the engine just to let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this
section, you should not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one
of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages’ shows
there may be
a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about
it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
