2007 CHEVROLET OPTRA 5 Owners Manual

Door Ajar Light
This light will stay on
until all doors are closed
and completely latched.
If the key is in the ignition while the driver’s door
is open, you will also hear a warning chime.
Trunk Ajar Light (Hatchback Only)
This light will come on
when the trunk is not
completely closed.
Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells
you about how much
fuel you have left when
the ignition is turned
to ON.
When the tank nears empty, the low fuel warning
light will come on. You still have a little fuel
left, but you should get more soon. SeeLow Fuel
Warning Light on page 178for more information.
177

Here are four things that some owners ask about.
None of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
•At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
•It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than
the gage indicated. For example, the gage may
have indicated the tank was half full, but it
actually took a little more or less than half the
tank’s capacity to fill the tank.
•The indicator moves a little when you turn a
corner or speed up.
•The gage goes back to empty when you turn off
the ignition.
Low Fuel Warning Light
This light comes on
when the fuel tank is
low on fuel.The low fuel warning light comes on when there is
about 2.0 gallons (7.5 liters) of fuel remaining in
the tank.
To turn the light off, add fuel to the fuel tank.
SeeFilling the Tank on page 254.
Audio System(s)
Determine which radio your vehicle has and then
read the pages following to familiarize yourself
with its features.
Driving without distraction is a necessity for a
safer driving experience. SeeDefensive Driving on
page 206. By taking a few moments to read this
manual and get familiar with your vehicle’s
audio system, you can use it with less effort, as
well as take advantage of its features. While your
vehicle is parked, set up your audio system by
presetting your favorite radio stations, setting the
tone and adjusting the speakers. Then, when
driving conditions permit, you can tune to
your favorite stations using the presets and
steering wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
178

{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and
you or others can be injured or killed.
Always keep your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive — avoid engaging
in extended searching while driving.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for
safe driving. Here are some ways in which you can
help avoid distraction while driving.
While your vehicle is parked:
•Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
•Familiarize yourself with its operation.
•Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment
to your vehicle, such as an audio system,
CD player, CB radio, mobile telephone,
or two-way radio, make sure that it can be
added by checking with your dealer. Also,
check federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units. If sound equipment can be
added, it is very important to do it properly.
Added sound equipment can interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or
other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle’s systems can interfere with the

recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There can be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loadingand ejecting. If these problems occur, check the

is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD will not play properly. If the
surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of Your CDs
on page 203for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.

needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more
