Engine Block Heater
(OPTION)
In very cold weather, 0 OF (- 1 8 “C) or
colder, the engine block heater can help.
You’ll get easier starting and better fuel
economy during engine warm-up.
To use the block heater:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the
electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded
1 10-volt outlet.
CA UTiON:

Plugging the cord into an
ungrounded outlet could cause
I
an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind of extension cord could
overheat and cause a fire. You could
be seriously injured. Plug the cord into a properly grounded
three-prong
1 10-volt outlet. If the
cord won’t reach, use a heavy-duty
three-prong extension cord rated
for
at least 15 amps.

How long should you keep the block
heater plugged in? The answer depends
on the weather, the kind of oil you have,
and some other things. Instead of trying to
list everything here, we ask
that you
contact
a Chevrolet dealer in the area
where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The
dealer can give
you the best advice for
that particular area,
... 62
Automatic
Transmission
There are several different positions for
your shift lever.
P (Park)
This locks your rear wheels. It’s the best
position to use when you start your
engine because your vehicle can’t move
easily.
It is dangerous to get out of
your vehicle
if rhe shift lever is
not fully in P (Park) with the
parking brake
firmly set. Your
vehicle can roll.
Don’t leave your vehicle when the
engine
is running unless you have
to. If you have left the engine
running, the vehicle can move
suddenly.
You or others could be
injured. To be sure your vehicle
won’t move, when you’re on fairly
level ground, always set your
parking brake and move the shift lever to
P (Park).
See “Shifting into
P (Park)” in the
Index.
If you are parking on a hill,
or if you’re pulling a trailer, also
see “Parking on Hills” or “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index.

During initial start-up only, if your
vehicle is equipped
with an optional
engine block heater,
you can use it in cold
weather (around
+20°F/-8 “C or lower) to
heat the passenger area better than
without it. Because an engine block heater
warms the engine coolant, your vehicle’s
heating system can more efficiently
provide heat for the passenger area
of
your vehicle. See “Engine Block Heater”
in the Index.
Bi-level Heating
You may want to use bi-level heating on
cool, but sunny days. This setting directs
cool air toward your body and warmer air
toward your feet.

The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the rear
window.
Press the right side of the switch to turn
on the defogger. An indicator light will
come on to remind you that the defogger
is on. The defogger
will turn off
automatically after about ten minutes of
use. If you
turn it on again, the defogger
will operate for about five minutes only.
You can also turn the defogger off by
pressing the left side
of the switch.
Do not attach anything like a temporary
vehicle license or a decal across the

System
Your Chevrolet's flow-through ventilation
system supplies outside air into the
vehicle when
it is moving. Outside air
will also enter the vehicle when the heater
or the air conditioning fan is running.

Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing
the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
When you enter a vehicle
in cold
weather, turn the fan control knob to
the right for
a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake
ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the
inside
of your windows.
D Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been
designed to operate easily and give years
of listening pleasure. But you will get the
most enjoyment out of
it if you acquaint
yourself
with it first. Find out what your
Delco@ system can do and how to operate
all its controls, to be sure you’re getting
the most out of the advanced engineering
that went into
it.

Run your engine only as long as you
must. This saves fuel. When you
run the
engine, make
it go a little faster than just
idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly.
This uses less fuel for the heat that you
get and
it keeps the battery charged. You
will need a well-charged battery to restart
the vehicle, and possibly for signaling
later on
with your headlights. Let the
heater
run for awhile.
Then. shut the engine off and close the
window almost all the way to preserve the
heat. Start the engine again and repeat this
only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold.
But do it as little as
possible. Preserve the fuel as long as you
can.
To help keep warm. you can get out
3f the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous
zxercises every half hour or
so until help

If You're Stuck in Deep Snow
This manual explains how to get the
vehicle
out of deep snow without
damaging it. See "Rocking Your Vehicle"
in the Index.
Towing a Trailer
you can lose control when you pull
a trailer. For example, if the trailer is
too heavy, the brakes may not work
well - or even at all. You and your
passengers could be seriously
injured. Pull a trailer only if you
have followed all the steps in this
section.
