Warning Lights, Gages
and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gages that may be on your vehicle.
The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also
save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be
or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions.
As you will see in the details
on the next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key just to let you know they’re
working.
If you are familiar with this
section, you should not be alarmed when
this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be
or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Often gages and warning lights
work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle. When one
of the warning lights comes on
and stays
on when you are driving, or
when one of the gages shows there may
be a problem, check the section that tells
you what to do about it. Please follow the
manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly
- and even dangerous. So
please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.

Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about how much
fuel is in your tank. The fuel gage works
only when the ignition switch is in the
“Run” position. When the gage pointer
first indicates
“E,” you still have a little
fuel left (about one to two gallons), but
you need to get more right away.
Here are four concerns some owners
have had about the fuel gage. All these
situations are normal and do not indicate
that anything is wrong with the fuel gage. At
the gas station, the gas pump shuts
off before the gage reads
“E”
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up
than the gage reads. For example, the
gage reads
1/2 full, but it took more
(or less) than half of the tank’s
capacity to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you
turn, stop or speed up.
When you
turn the engine off, the
gage doesn’t go back to
“E.”
BRAKE
I I 3
Brake System Warning Light
Your Chevrolet’s hydraulic brake system
is divided into two parts. If one part isn’t
working, the other part can still work and
stop you.
For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could
be a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on as you start the
vehicle.
If it doesn’t come on then, have it
fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if
there’s a problem.

If the anti-lock brake system warning
light stays on longer than normal after
you’ve started your engine, turn the
ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and
stays on when you’re driving,
stop as
soon as possible and turn the ignition off.
Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving,
your Chevrolet needs service. If the light
is on but not flashing and the regular
brake system warning light isn’t on, you
still have brakes, but you don’t have
anti-lock brakes.

Ventilation Tips
D 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, reducin
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 intakc
ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seat:
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
