Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To store the sunshield when rennoved from the car, always select a place
where the sunshade can lay flat without anything stored on top of it or leaned against it. Hanging the sunshade flat on a wall by its hinges is an excellent way
to store it.
As with any decorative surface. washing with a mild soap and water solution is
recommended . Abrasive materials or chemical solvents may adversely affect
the finish of the sunshade.
FOLDING SEATBACK OPERATION
Station wagon and hatchback models are equipped with either a one-piece or split folding rear seatback which is not designed to lie flat, but does provide
additional load floor area when lowered .
To lower the one-piece second seatback, pull the lever at the right side of the
second seatback and fold down. Styles equipped with split folding rear
seatbacks have a
lever on both the right and left sides which allows either side
to be folded down separately . Stops on the load floor hold the seatback folding
panels. locking
the seatbacks down. To lock a seatback in place, push down on the front of the seatback and slip the filler panel over its stop on the load
floor .
To raise a seat back. push down on seatback to release it from its stop. lift the folding panel slightly to clear the stop, then raise the seatback.
Keep the seat
belt webbing and hardware clear of seat hinging and latching
mechanisms when you @ the folding seat. This helps prevent damage to the
belt system.
Check now and then
to see if the latch or latches, if so equipped, on the folding rear seat or seats work properly. To do this, push forward and pull
rearward on the top of the seatback or each seatback, if so equipped.
seatback(s) that
do not latch properly in the upright position. must be repaired
because
in a sudden stop rt could cause injury.
VISTA·VENT
The Vista-Vent is a hinged glass panel. The panel can be opened by moving
the
latch release handle forward and up to lock the glass in place. The glass
will
stay open only in the fully up position -when the rear of the glass is raised
about 38 mimmeters (1-1/ 2 inches) . As an added feature, an air deflector will
pop up when the glass panel is opened to help assure a smooth flow of air
over the roof.

• Be SW"8 the COYW is Installed IICCOf'dfng to theM Instructions.
• When not installed, stow the cover behind the front seets (see ilustration).
Your vehicle may be equipped with optional rear seat shoulder belts in addition
to the roll-up cargo cover, or you may wish to install a child restraint system
thai requires use of a top strap in the rear seat of the vehicle.
In either case,
be sure to route the shoulder belts or top strap ABOVE the cargo cover roller. Hold the shoulder belts out to the side if it is necessary to extend or retract the
cargo cover
while the shoulder belts are in use.
CAUTION: When using rew' sea. shoulder bette or • chikt rnfrainC system that requires a top .trap, alwaY' route the shoulder bett$ or top strap ABOVE the cargo cover roller. If a shoulder belt or top strap is routed under the roller, it could dislodge the roller during a coIIiaion and increne the risk of personal injury.
ROLL-UP CARGO COVER (STATION WAGONS)
Hidden stowage in the rear area of station wagons is provided by the optional
cargo cover . The cover is mounted behind the rear seat and can be extended
over the rear area by grasping Ihe handle and pullinglhe cover rearward like a
window shade. Pins at each corner of Ihe cover can be placed in retainers at
the back corners of the rear area to hold the
cover in place.
To carry larger items, the cargo cover can be removed
and the rear seat folded
down. To remove the cover. grasp one end of the roller and push it toward the oppos~e end. This will shorten it so you can slide ~ out of the bracket on the

Make sure the water pu"",, belts are not broken, or off the pulleys , and that the fan runs when the engine is running and there is an indication on the instrument panel of an overheat condition.
If the coolant level in the recovery tank is low, look for leaks at the radiator
hoses and connections, heater hoses and connections, radiator I and water pump. If you find major leaks, or spot other problems that may have caused
the engine to overheat,
do not run the engine untilthese problems have been
corrected. If you do not find a leak or other problem, caretully add coolant to
the recovery tank. (Coolant is a mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water; see "Engine Cooling System" in "'Service and Maintenance," Section 5, for the proper antifreeze and mixture.) .
CAUTION: Under: some:' conditione, the ethylen~ glycol In engine coolant Is . combustible. -To help avoid being burned, DO NOT spill antifreeze or coolant on the exhauat system or hot engine parts..
If the coolant level in the recovery tank is at the correct level but there is still
an indication on the instrument panel of an overheat condition:
•
You may add coolant directly to the radiator. YOU MUST LET ENGINE COOL FIRST. See "Coolant Replacement" under "Engine Cooling
System"
in Section 5, "Service and Maintenance" in this manual. Follow steps t through 3 for the correct way to remove the radiator
cap

Pigskin Suede Leather, GM recommends the use of a qualified professional
cleaner who has been trained to care for suede leather.
Cleaning Vinyl Or Leather Trim (Except Pigskin Suede
Leather)
Ordinary soilage can be removed from vinyl or leather wlth warm water and a
mild soap such as saddle soap or oil soap, or an equivalent.
• Apply a small amount of soap solution and let it soak for a few minutes to loosen dirt; then, rub briskly with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and
traces of soap. (This may ba repeated several times, if needed.)
• Soilage such as tars, asphalts, shoe polish, etc. will stain if left on trim.
They should be wiped off as quickly as possible and the area cleaned with
a
clean cloth dampened with GM Vinyl/Leather Cleaner (Solvent Type).
Seat Belt Care
• Keep belts clean and dry.
• Clean seat belts only with mild soap and lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since this may severely weaken them.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 4. Always use a tire pressure gage when checking inflation pressures (we
suggest you purchase a
quality pocket-type gage). Simply looking at the tires to check inflation pressures is not enough, . especially with radial. tires.
Underinflated radial tires may look like correctly inflated radial tires. H the
inflation pressure on a tire is often low, have your dealer correct the
cause.
5. Sesure to put the tire inflation valve caps or extensions back on, if so
equipped. This will help keep dirt and moisture from getting into the valve core which could cause a leak.

6. H an air loss. occurs while driving, do not drive on the flat tire more than is
needed to stop safely. Driving even a short distance on a flat tire can
damage a tire and
wheel beyond repair.
Inspection and Rotation
Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently depending
on the types of roads driven, your driving habits, etc.
For
longer tire IHe, you shOuld inspect and rotate your tires as recommended in
the Maintenance Schedule folder. Many car and tire dealers will perform a free
tire
inspection to look for \meven or abnormal tire Wear (usually caused by
wrong inflation pressures, lack of regular rotation, improper wheel alignment,
out of bslance tires, or poor driving habits).
After rotation, adjust the front and rear tire pressures (see the Tire
Placard)
and be sure to check wheel nut tightness (see also "Wheel Nut Torque" in
Section 3 of this manual.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine • Install the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible, then tighten them
again after driving 1/4 to 1/2 mile (0.4 to 0.8 kilometer). The use of chains
on the rear tires is not recommended; the chains may contact and
possibly damage the vehicle. If you intend to use chains on the rear tires, be sure
there is enough clearance.
• Do not exceed 45 mph (70 km/h), or the chain manufacturer's speed limitation, if lower.
• Drive in a restrained manner and avoid large bumps, potholes, severe turns and other manuevers which CQuid cause the tires to bounce up and down.
• Follow any other instructions of the chain manufacturer which do not
disagree with the above.
Spare Tire
For the use and installation of your spare tire, see "In Case of Emergency,"
Section 3 of this manual.
Tire Replacement
CAUTION:" 00 not mix different tire construction types (such as radial, bias, and bias­betted) on your vehicle exceptio emergencies, because your vehicle's handling could be affected and may result in loss Of control. This caution does not apply to a compact spare tire furnished with your vehicle.
On most vehicles originally eqUipped with radial tires, you will find a TPC Spec.
No. (Tire Performance Criteria Specification Number)
molded into the tire
sidewall
near the tire size marking. This shows that the tire meets rigid size
and performance standards which were developed for your vehicle. The TPC
Spec. No. assures a proper combination of endurance,
handHng, load capacity,
ride and traction on wet, dry, or snow-covered surfaces. When you replace your tires with tires having the same TPC Spec. No., your new tires will be
compatible with your vehicle.
When replacing tires with those not having a TPC Spec. No., you should use
the same size, load range, and construction type (bias, bias-belted, or radial)
as the original tires on your vehicle. A different size or type of tire may affect
such things as ride, handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance to the body or chassis. If
replacing only a single tire, it should be paired on the same axle with the least worn tire of the other three.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the tire grading system developed by the
United States
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which will grade
tires by traction and temperature performance. (This applies only to vehicles
sold in the United States.)
Traction -A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, S, and C. They represent
the tire's
::ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
~urfaces of asphalt and concrete. A
tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight­
ahead) traction tests
and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
