1998 CHEVROLET CAMARO alarm

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and
Content Theft-DetenentlAlarm 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-DetemenVAlarm System.
See ‘Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrendAlarm
System” in the Index.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This switch controls the brightness of your
instrument panel lights. Turn the switch to brighten or
dim the lights.
If you turn the switch all the way up,
your courtesy lamps will come
on.
Courtesy Lamps
When either door is opened, several interior lamps go
on. These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easier
for you to enter and leave your vehicle.
Courtesy lamps include one
SRV mirror lamp, two
map lamps and other lamps throughout the interior of
your vehicle.
To prevent battery rundown, your interior lamps will be
disabled about
10 minutes after the ignition is turned to
the OFF position. The 10-minute timer will be restarted
if you do
any of the following:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Open either door.
3. Press any button on your keyless entry transmitter.
4. Turn the interior lamp switch from off to on.
5. Open the hatch.

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 vehicle 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.
Trip 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 on the
instrument panel cluster.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute
(rpm).
I 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.
