CHEVROLET CAMARO 1995 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t
flash but just stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned out
and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index).
Headlamp High-Low Beam
To change the headlamps
from low beam to high or
high to low, pull the turn
signal lever all the way
toward
you. Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this blue light on the
instrument panel also will
be
on.

You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on
it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let
go. The wipers will
stop after one cycle.
If you want more cycles, hold the
band on
MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the
LO position. For high speed wiping,
turn the band further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move
the band to
OFF.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.

At the top of the turn signalheadlamp beam lever
there’s a paddle with the word
PUSH on it. To spray
washer fluid on the windshield,

When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
adding water.
Don’t
mix water with ready-to-use washer
fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze
and damage your washer fluid tank and
other parts of the washer system. Also,
water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only
3/4 full
when it’s very cold. This allows for
expansion, which could damage the tank if
it is completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your
windshield washer. It can damage your
washer system and paint.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 about
25 mph
(40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, or push the clutch pedal, if
you have a manual transmission, the cruise control shuts
Off.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional
ASR System begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. (See
“ASR
System’’ in the Index). When road conditions allow you
to safely use it again,
you may turn the cruise back on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake or clutch pedal. This, of
course, shuts off the cruise control. But
you don’t need
to reset it. Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more, you can move the cruise control switch from
ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second.
You’ll
go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there.
To Increase Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the
first:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2. Push the button at the end of the lever, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now
cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way to go to a higher speed:
1. Move the Cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want,
and
then release the switch.
2. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the switch to
R/A for less than half a second and then
release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will
go
about 1 mph (1.6 kmh) faster.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce ?bur speed while using
cruise control:
1. Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
2. To slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll
go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load, and the steepness
of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator
pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to
keep your speed down.
Of course, applying the brake takes
you out
of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too
much trouble and don’t use cruise control on steep
hills.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Brightness Control
This switch controls the brightness of your
instrument panel lights. Turn the switch to brighten or
dim the lamps.
If you turn the switch all the way up,
your courtesy lamps will come on.
Daytime Running Lamps (Canada)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier to see
the front
of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be
helpful when it’s raining and in the short periods after
dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on
when:
0 The ignition is on
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
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 come on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system any time you need
it.
