Convenience Net (OPTION)
Your vehicle may have a convenience
net. You’ll see it just inside
the back
wall of the trunk. Put small loads, like
grocery bags, behind the net. It can help
keep them from falling over during
sharp turns or quick
starts and stops.
Unclip a corner of the convenience net
to
fit larger objects behind the net, then
reclip it to secure them in place.
The
net isn’t for larger, heavier loads.
Store them in the trunk as far forward
as
you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie
flat when you’re not using it.
Trunk Cargo Anchors (omoN)
If your vehicle has fold-down rear seats,
you’ll find two or four anchors on the
back wall of your trunk. You can use
these anchors to tie down lighter loads.
They prevent things from shifting during sudden stops, turns and maneuvers.
These anchors are not for heavier loads.
Store those items as far forward in
the
trunk as possible.
New Vehicle “Break-ln”
Your modern Chevrolet doesn’t
need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed-

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Torque Lock
(AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE)
If you are parking on a hill and you
don’t shift
your transaxle into P (Park)
properly, the weight of the vehicle may
put too much force on the parking pawl
in the transaxle. You may find it difficult
to pull the
shift lever out of P (Park).
This
is called “torque lock.” To prevent
torque lock, always be sure to shift into
P (Park) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat.
To find out how, see the
Index under Shiftirtg Into P (Park),
When you are ready to drive, move the
shift lever out
of P (Park) before you
release the parking brake.
If torque lock does occur, you may need
to have another vehicle push yours a
little uphill to take some
of the pressure
from the transaxle,
so you can pull the
shift lever out
of P (Park).
Winter Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your Chevrolet in good shape for
winter. Be sure your engine coolant
mix is correct.
Snow tires can help in loose snow, but
they may give you less traction on ice
than regular tires.
If you do not expect
to be driving in deep snow, but may
have to travel over ice,
you may not
want to switch to snow tires at all.
You may want to put winter
emergency supplies in your trunk or
rear area.
Include an ice scraper, a small brush
or broom, a supply of windshield
washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer
clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight,
a
red cloth, and a couple of reflective
warning triangles. And, if you will be
driving under severe conditions,
include a small bag
of sand, a piece of
old carpet or a couple
of burlap bags
to help provide traction. Be sure you
properly secure these items
in your
vehicle.

bwing Your Chevrolet (CONI)
To help avoid injury to you or
lers:
a Never let passengers ride in a
vehicle that is being towed.
a Never tow faster than safe or
posted speeds.
* Never tow with damaged parts
not fully secured.
* Never get under your vehicle after
it
has been lifted by the tow truck.
* Always use separate safety
chains on each side when towing
a vehicle.
Never use
“J” hooks. Use T-

the ignition key off. The steering wheel
should be clamped
in a straight-ahead
position,
with a clamping device designed
for towing service. Do not use the
vehicle’s steering column lock for this.
The transaxle should be
in Neutral, and
the parking brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the
front wheels, unless
you must. If the
vehicle must be towed on the front wheels,
don’t go more than
35 mph (56 km/h) or
farther than
50 miles (80 km) or your
transaxle will be damaged. If these
limits must be exceeded, then
the front
wheels have to be supported on a dolly.
p-AU I IUN I
A vehicle can fall from a car
carrier if it isn’t properly
secured. This can cause a
collision, serious personal injury
and vehicle damage. The vehicle
should be tightly secured with
chains or steel cables before it is
transported.
Don’t use substitutes (ropes,
leather straps, canvas webbing,
etc.) that can be cut
by sharp edges
underneath
the towed vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Don’t try to put a wheel cover on your
compact spare tire.
It won’t fit. Store the
wheel cover and plastic cap nuts in the
trunk or rear area until you have the flat
tire repaired or replaced.
16. Store the flat tire in the compact

Store the jack and wheel wrench in
their compartment, also.
MU I IVN 1
Storing a jack, a tire, or other
:quipment in the passenger
compartment
of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop
or
collision, loose equipment could
strike someone. Store all these in
the proper place.
The compact spare is for temporary use
only. Replace the compact spare tire
with a full-size tire as soon as you can.
See
Compact Spare Tire next in this
section.
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare was fully
inflated when your vehicle was new, it
can lose air after a time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly.
It should be
60 psi (420 Wa). The compact spare is
made to go up to
3,000 miles (5 000 km),
so you can finish your trip and have
your full-size tire repaired or replaced
where you want.
Of course, it’s best to
replace
your spare with a full-size tire as
soon as you can. Your spare will last
longer and be in good shape in case you
need it again.
Your anti-lock brake system warning
light may come on when you are driving
with a compact spare. See the
Index
under Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light.
