4. If your engine won’t start (or starts
but then stops), it could be flooded
with too much gasoline.
Try pushing
your accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and holding it there as you
hold the key
in Start for about three
seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly
but then stops again, do the same
thing, but this time keep the pedal
down for five or six seconds. This
clears the extra gasoline from the
engine. Your
engine is designed to work
with the electronics in your
vehicle. If you add electrical parts
or accessories, you could change
the way the fuel injection system
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If you don’t, your engine might not
perform properly.
If you ever have to have your
vehicle towed, see the part
of this
manual that tells how
to do it
without damaging your vehicle.

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) hdicator Light
(CANADA ONLY)
If your vehicle was first sold, when new,
in Canada, you will have this light on
the instrument panel. It goes on
whenever the Daytime Running Lights
are on.
Daflime Running Lights
(CANADA ONLY)
The Canadian federal government has
decided that Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are a useful feature,
in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours. DRL are required on
new vehicles sold
in Canada.
The high beam headlights
will come on
at reduced brightness
in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released. When you
turn on your headlights,
the
DRL will switch off and the exterior
lights will come on. When you turn off
the headlights, the exterior lights will go out and the high beams will change to
the reduced brightness of DRL again.
The DRL indicator light on the instrument
panel will go
on whenever the DRL are
on. This light means that only the DRL
are on. When you turn
on your exterior
lights, this light will
go out. Of course,
you may still
turn on the headlights any
time
you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off,
set the parking brake. The DRL will stay
off
until you release the parking brake.

Climate Control System
With this system, you can control the
ventilation and heating in your vehicle.
Your vehicle
also has the flow-through
ventilation system described later in this
section.

of the air coming through the system.

I06
VENT Use when outside temperatures
are mild and little heating or cooling is
needed. Air flow is through the
instrument panel outlets. Set the lower
lever to the temperature desired.
B/L (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but SUMY
days. This setting brings in the outside
air, but directs it in
two ways. The cool
air is directed to the upper portion of your
body through the instrument panel outlets,
but slightly warmer air is directed through
the heater ducts and defroster vents. At
times, this temperature difference may
be more apparent than others.
HTR (Heater): This setting brings
heated air through the heater ducts, and
some through the windshield defroster
vents.
If you have the optional engine block
heater and use it during cold weather,
0°F (-18°C) or lower, your heating
system will more quickly provide heat
because the engine coolant is already
warmed. See the
Index under Engine
Block Heater.
BLEND: This setting divides the air
flow equally between the heater ducts
and the windshield defroster vents.
DEF (Defrost): This setting directs
most air through the windshield
defroster vents, and some through the
heater ducts.
Defogging Windows
Slide the lower lever to HOT. To defog
the windows, set the upper lever to
DEF
and turn the fan control to HI.

Many city roads and expressways, and
even bridges, use reversible-lane traffic
control during rush hours. A red
X light
above
a lane means no driving in that
lane at that time. A green arrow means
you may drive in that lane.
Look for the
signs posted
to warn drivers what hours
and days these systems are in effect.
NO PASSING ZONE
Pavement Markings
Pavement markings add to traffic signs
and signals. They give information to
drivers without taking attention from the roadway.
A solid yellow line on your
side
of the road or lane means Don’t
Cross.
Mur Own Signals
Drivers signal to others, too. It’s not
only more polite, it’s safer
to let other
drivers
know what you are doing. And
in some places the law requires driver
signals.
Turn and Lane Change Signals:
Always signal when you plan to turn or
change lanes.
If necessary,
you can use hand signals
out the window: Left arm straight out for a left
turn, down for slow or about-
to-stop, and up for a right
turn.
Slowing Down: If time allows, tap the
brake pedal once or twice in advance of
slowing or stopping. This warns the
driver behind you.
Disabled: Your four-way flashers signal
that your vehicle is disabled or is a
hazard. See the
Index under Hazard
Warning Flashers.
Traffic Officer
The traffic police officer is also a source
of important information. The officer’s
signals govern, no matter what the
traffic lights or other signs say.
The next section discusses some
of the
road conditions
you may encounter.

Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)
Your Chevrolet has an advanced
electronic braking system that will help
prevent skidding.
This light
on the instrument panel will
go
on when you start your vehicle.
When you start your vehicle and begin
to drive away you may hear a
momentary motor or clicking noise and
you may even notice that your brake
pedal moves a little while this is going
on. This is the ABS system testing itself.
If you have your foot on the brake pedal,
this check won’t happen
until the vehicle
goes about
4 mph (6 km/h) or until you
take your foot
off the brake pedal. After an
ABS stop,
you may hear a
clicking noise the next time the vehicle
goes about
4 mph (6 km/h).
If there’s a problem
with the anti-lock
brake system, the anti-lock brake system warning light will stay on or flash.
See
the Index under Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light.
Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say
the road is wet. You’re driving safely.
Suddenly an animal jumps out
in front
You slam
on the brakes. Here’s what
happens with ABS.
A computer senses that wheels are
slowing down. The computer separately
works the brakes at each front wheel
and at the rear wheels.
The anti-lock
system can change the
brake pressure faster than any driver
could. The computer is programmed to
make the most of available tire and road
conditions.

ou can steer around the obstacle while
raking hard.
As you brake, your
lmputer keeps receiving updates
on
thee1 speed and controls braking
ressure accordingly.
A Anti-lock doesn’t change the
L time you need to get your ht
to the brake pedal. If you get
too close to the vehicle in front of
you, you won’t have time to apply
your brakes if that vehicle suddenly
slows or stops. Always leave enough
morn up ahead to stop, even though ’
YOU have anti-l~~k brakes.
To Use Anti-Lock:
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the
brake pedal down and let anti-lock work for
you. You may hear a clicking noise
as you accelerate after a hard stop.
Disc Brake Wear indicators
Your Chevrolet has front disc brakes and
rear drum brakes. Disc brake pads have
built-in wear indicators that make a
high-pitched warning sound when the
brake pads are worn and new pads are
needed. The sound may come and
go or
be heard all the time your vehicle is
moving (except when you are pushing
on the brake pedal firmly).
The brake wear warning
4 L sound means that sooner or
later your brakes won’t work well,
That could lead to an accident.
When you hear the brake wear
warning sound, have your vehicle
serviced.
