Automatic Transmission Fluid
When to Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transmission fluid
level is when the engine oil is changed. Refer to the
Maintenance Schedule to determine when to change your
fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may
choose to have this done at your Chevrolet dealer
Service Department.
If you do it yourself,
be sure to follow all the instructions
here,
or you could get a false reading on the dipstick.
NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your
transmission.
Too much can mean that some of
the fluid could come out and fall on hot engine
parts or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be
sure to get an accurate reading if you check your
transmission fluid.
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the
transmission fluid level
if you have been driving:
When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32°C).
At high speed for quite a while.
0 In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
0 While pulling a trailer.

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transmission fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid
HOT. (A COLD check is used only as a reference.) If
the fluid level is low, add only enough of
the proper
fluid to bring the level up to the
HOT area for a hot
check. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than
a
pint. Don ’t over$iZZ. We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transmission.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-I11 is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under
“How to Check.”
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back
in all the way.

Check the fluid level only when your engine is off, the
vehicle is parked
on a level place and the transmission is
cool enough for you to rest your fingers on the
transmission case.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Cleaning Your Convertible Top
Your convertible top should be cleaned often. If you use
an automatic car wash, use one with water jets and
hanging cloths.
When
you hand wash the top, do it in partial shade.
Vacuum away any dust and other material. Use a mild
soap, lukewarm water and a soft sponge.
A chamois or
cloth may leave
lint on the top, and a brush can chafe
the threads in the top fabric. Don’t use detergents, harsh
cleaners, solvents or bleaching agents.
When you clean the top, put
one hand under it to
support it. Wet the entire vehicle and wash the top
evenly to avoid spots or rings. Let
the soap remain on
the fabric for a few minutes. When the top is really dirty,
use a mild foam-type cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the
entire vehicle,
then let the top dry in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
After you wash the vehicle, make sure the top is
Don’t get any cleaner on the vehicle’s painted finish;
completely dry
before
you lower it.
it could leave streaks.
If you decide to go through an automatic car wash,
ask
the manager if the equipment could damage your
top.
Aluminum Wheels (If So Equipped)
Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar
to the painted surface
of your car. Don’t use strong
soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, abrasive cleaners or
abrasive cleaning brushes
on them because you could
damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly,
a wax
may be applied.
I
I NOTICE:
If you have aluminum wheels, don’t use an
automatic car wash that has hard silicon carbide
cleaning brushes. These brushes can take the
protective coating
off your aluminum wheels.
Tires
To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner.
When applying a tire dressing always take care
to wipe
off any overspray or splash from painted surfaces.
Petroleum-based products may damage
the paint finish.
