Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows
AIR BAG.
AIR BAG
The system checks the air
bag’s electrical system for
malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an
electrical problem.
The system check includes the air bag sensors and
modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the
air bag system, see “Air Bag”
in the Index.
You will see this light flash for a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to
RUN or START. Then the light
should go out. This means the system is ready.
If the
air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you
start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.
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 briefly 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 light comes on while you are driving, pull
off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light
is still on, or if the
anti-lock brake system warning light is flashing, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light” and “Towing Your
Car” in the
Index.)

Do this so your trailer won’t strike soft

Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in
advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a
different turn signal flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever
you signal a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up,
the trailer lamps will also flash, telling other drivers
you’re about to turn, change lanes or stop. down,

so much that
they would get hot and no longer work well.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your
speed to around
45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the
possibility
of engine and transmission overheating.
If you are towing a trailer and you have an automatic
transmission with Overdrive, you may prefer to drive in
DRIVE (D) instead of Overdrive (or, as you need to, a
lower gear). Or, if you have a manual transmission with
FIFTH or SIXTH gear. It is better not to use FIFTH or
SIXTH gear. Just drive in FOURTH gear (FIFTH gear
if
you have a six-speed manual transmission) (or, as you
need to, a lower gear).

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.

wiring connector from the headlamp socket by lifting
the plastic locking tabs
on the connector and pulling
it
from the socket.

replaced. The letter
U or L must also match.
5. Plug the wiring connector into the headlamp socket.
Snap the locking tabs onto the socket.
6. Place the new headlamp in the headlamp assembly.
The socket must be pointing in the same direction
the socket on the burned out bulb was.
7. Insert the tabs on the aiming ring into the tabs in the
headlamp assembly.
8. Hold the aiming ring closed, insert the screws at the
end
of the ring. Tighten the screws until the aiming
ring touches the plastic nuts
on both the top and
bottom.
Do not overtighten. Do not damage the

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Add-on Electrical Equipment Fuses and Circuit Breakers
~ NOTICE: i
’ Don’t add anything electrical to your Chevrolet
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as they
should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your Chevrolet, see “Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Chevrolet” in the Index.
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
There are two fuse centers
on your vehicle. One is in the
left side
of your instrument panel.

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.
