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
COLD, or a little higher. When your engine is
warm, the level on the dipstick should be up to the HOT,
or a little higher.
5.7L LT1 Engine Only
If 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 ut 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
for information.

prepared as follows:
The vehicle must have all four tires on a perfectly
level surface.
0 The vehicle should not have any snow, ice, or mud
There should not be any cargo or loading of vehicle,
except it should have a full tank of gas and one

attached to
it.
0 Tires
should be properly inflated.
0 The horizontal indicator should read “0.”
I NOTICE:
To make sure your headlamps are aimed
properly, read all the instructions before
beginning. Failure to
follow these instructions
could cause damage to headlamp parts.
State inspection stations will allow a vertical reading of
plus
0.76 degrees or minus 0.76 degrees for the center of
the bubble. It
is recommended that the upper limit not exceed plus
0.4 degrees for the center of the bubble. Other drivers
may flash their bright lights at you if your adjustment is
much above plus
0.4 degrees.
If you find that the headlamp aiming needs adjustment,
follow these steps:
To adjust the aim of your headlamps:
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.

for each headlamp and adjust it as necessary.

and
3.
To Replace a Headlamp
Before replacing a headlamp that does not light, check
to make sure that the wiring connector is securely
fastened to it.
See “Replacement Bulbs”
in the Index to check the size
and type of headlamp you need to
use before you begin
to replace the headlamp.
You must replace a headlamp
with one that
is exactly the same.
Be careful
not to move the aiming screws when you
replace the headlamp. If the headlamp being replaced
was properly aimed, the
new one will be also if it is
properly installed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker.
An electrical overload will cause the lamps to go on
and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have
your headlamp wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper
will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
The other is in the engine compartment. Open
the cover
on either of the boxes to expose the fuses.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one of the correct value. Just
pick some feature
of your vehicle that you can get along
without
- like the radio or cigarette lighter - and use
its fuse,
if it is the size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
