Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Low Coolant Light (VI3 Engine)
This warning light should
come on while you are
starting
your engine. If the
light doesn’t come on, have
it repaired.
Your Camaro
is equipped with a LOW COOLANT
indicator that is designed to detect when the coolant
level
drops below the set limit. If the low coolant level
sensor (on
the radiator) detects that the level drops while
the engine is running, the
LOW COOLANT indicator
will light and remain lit until the ignition switch is
turned to the
OFF position. Check the coolant level
and add coolant as needed. The
LOW COOLANT
light might stay on after filling
the radiator. Turn the ignition switch to the
OFF
position, then restart the engine to verify that the LOW
COOLANT light goes out. See “Engine Coolant” in
the Index.
1 NOTICE:
Driving with the LOW COOLANT light on could
cause your Chevrolet to overheat. See “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
Your Chevrolet could
be damaged, and it wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.

(Service Engine Soon
Light)
Your Chevrolet is equipped
with a computer which
monitors operation
of the
SERVICE
fuel, ignition and emission
control systems.
This system is called OBD I1 (On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended
to assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for
the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. (In Canada, OBD
I1 is replaced by
Enhanced Diagnostics.) The SERVICE ENGINE SOON
light comes on to indicate that there is a problem and
service is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated
by the system before any problem is apparent, which
may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This
system is also designed to assist your service technician
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.
NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light
on, after a while, your emission controls may not
work as well, your fuel economy may not be as
good and your engine may not run as smoothly.
This could lead to costly repairs that may not be
covered by your warranty.
This light should come on, as a check to show you it is
working, when the ignition is
on and the engine is not
running. If the light doesn’t come on, have it repaired.
This light will
also come on during a malfunction in one
of two ways:
0
0
Light Flashing -- A misfire condition has been
detected. A misfire increases vehicle emissions and
may damage the emission control system on your
vehicle. Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis
and service is required.
Light On Steady -- An emission control system
malfunction has been detected on your vehicle.
Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and
service may be required.

This warning light will
come on briefly when you
are starting the engine.
If the light comes on and
stays on while you are
driving, check your gages
to see if they are in the
warning areas.
Fuel Gage
When the gage pointer first indicates EMPTY (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.
0

0
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. At
the gas station, the gas pump shuts
off before me
gage reads FULL (F).
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half
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
EMPTY (E).
