Adding Coolant
To Check Coolant: When your engine is
cold, check the dipstick on the cap of the
coolant recovery tank. The coolant level
should be at
FULL COLD, or a little
higher. When your engine is warm, the
level on the dipstick should be up to
FULL HOT, or a little higher.
If you have the 5.7L LTl (Code P) engine
and this light comes on,
it means you’re
low on engine coolant.
To Add Coolant to the Recovery Tank:
If you need more coolant, add the proper
mix
at the coolant recovery tank, but
only when your engine
is cool. If the tank
is very low or empty, also add coolant to
the radiator. See “Engine Overheating” in
the Index.

Headlights
Headlight Aiming
Your vehicle has a mini-quad headlight
system. These headlights have vertical
and horizontal indicators. When the
headlights are properly installed and
adjusted, and the vehicle is on level
ground, both indicators will read in the
center of the gage. If they do not, you can
adjust the aim.
A
To adjust the aim of your headlights:
1. Move your vehicle to a level surface.
Use a spirit level to be sure. Be sure
to remove any items that are not part
of your original equipment from the
trunk and passenger areas.
No one
should be seated in the vehicle and
your fuel tank should be about half
full. Check to be sure your tires are
at the correct pressure. There
are four headlights. Each one
has its own vertical and horizontal
aim position indicator. Each indicator
has its own aiming screw.

0 As soon as you’ve cleaned the section,
use a sponge to remove the suds.
0 Rinse the section with a clean, wet
sponge.
0 Wipe off what’s left with a slightly
damp paper towel
or cloth.
Then dry it immediately with an air
hose, a hair dryer
or a heat lamp.
~ NOTICE:
Be careful with a hair dryer or heat
lamp.
You could scorch the fabric.
B Wipe with a clean cloth.
Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type
cleaner at all. Some spots and stains will
clean off better with just water and mild
soap.
If you need to use it,
then:
Gently scrape excess soil from the
trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light
pressure and clean cloths (preferably
cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at
the outside of the stain, “feathering”
toward the center. Keep changing to a
clean section of
the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric,
immediately dry the area
with an air
hose, hair dryer,
or heat lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring. (See the
previous NOTICE.)
Fabric Protection
Your Chevrolet has upholstery and carpet
that has been treated with Scotchgard”
Fabric Protector, a
3M product.
Scotchgard
” protects fabrics by repelling
oil and water, which are the carriers
of
most stains. Even with this protection,
you still need to clean your upholstery
often to keep
it looking new.
Further information on cleaning is
available by calling 1-800-433-3296
(in Minnesota, 1-800-642-6 167).
