The windshield defrosting and
defogging system assists in provid­
ing good visibility through desig­
nated areas of the windshield under
most inclement weather conditions.
For immediate operation of the
vehicle, the windshield should be
scraped clear.
AIR-DEF Lever
Pushing the AIR-DEF lever to
the right allows air to pass through
the system. Maximum airflow
is
obtained in the AIR position. Ad­
just
TEMP (lower) level as re­
quired to give desired degree of
heat. Full right position provides
maximum heat.
Further movement to the right
of the AIR-DEF lever directs the
airflow through the defroster out­
lets as desired when windshield de-frosting
is needed. At the DEF po­
sition (full right) the entire airflow
is diverted to the defroster outlets.
Vary
TEMP lever as required.
Fan
The fan lever has four (4) posi­
tions from off at the top
to high
at the bottom.
Operate system for
30 seconds
before switching to DEF. This will
remove humid air from the system
and minimize rapid fogging of the
glass which can occur if humid air
is blown onto a cool windshield.

Heater Operating Tips
• Clear snow and ice from hood
and air inlet
in front of wind­
shield to improve heater and de­
froster efficiency and reduce the
probability of fogging on inside
of windshield.
• Clear windshield, rear window,
outside mirrors and all side win­
dows of ice and snow before
driving vehicle.
• Operate blower on "HIGH" for
a
few seconds before moving the
vehicle, to clear the intake ducts
of snow.

t-"f. __ -"AOO"
If at operating temperature (ap­
proximately
150 ° F-hot to the
touch), fluid should be between
"HOT" and "COLD" marks. If at
room temperature (approximately
70° F), fluid should be between
"ADD" and "COLD" marks . Fluid
does not require periodic changing.
Hood Latches
Every 4 months or 6,000 miles,
whichever occurs first, lubricate
hood latch assembly and hood
hinge assembly
as follows:
1. Wipe off any accumulation of
dirt
or contamination on latch

3. Apply light engine oil to all
pivot points in release mecha­
nism,
as well as primary and
secondary latch mechanisms.
4. Lubricate hood hinges.
5. Make hood hinge and latch

the system
is not performing as it
should.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped
with a Four
Season Air Condi­
tioning
System, the system will not
operate below ambient tempera­
tures of
30°F. regardless of con­
trol position.

Checking the coolant level at
each engine oil change. Level
should be

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER:
The headlamp circuit is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your wiring circuits checked immediately. Where current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker intermittently opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the cause is found and eliminated.
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse,30 amp. is located in an In·line fuse holder running from horn relay to Air Conditioning relay.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above.
Fusible links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.

Gas Cap -Located behind the
license plate on all models.
See gas
cap removal procedure in
"Service
and Maintenance " Section (see
page
46).
Gasoline Recommendation -
Use an unleaded or low-lead fuel
of approximately
91 Research Oc­
tane Number or higher as com­
monly sold in the
U.S. and Canada.
Hood Release
Move hood release in grille to
right of vehicle to open the coun­
ter-balanced hood.
If the hood
must be slammed to insure closing,
it
is in need of adjustment.
Engine Oil Dipstick-Located on
the right
or left side of engine
block depending on engine model.
Check oil level
as the last operation
in a fuel stop.
Maintain between "ADD" and
"FULL" marks on dipstick.
Engine Oil Recommendation­
Use only high quality SE oils. See
page 47 for oil viscosity chart.
Tire Inflation Pressures-Check
at least monthly. Keep inflated to
pressures shown on tire placard af­
fixed to left front door of your
vehicle.
Windshield Washer-Check res­
ervoir fluid level regularly.
Use a
washer fluid, such
as GM Opti­
kleen.
Energizer (batterY)-Check fluid
level monthly utilizing the level in­
dicator cap marked
"Delco Eye." If
the transparent eye within the cap
glows, fluid level
is low. Add only
colorless, odorless drinking water
or distilled water to bring level to
split ring in filler opening.
