Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system
(headlights, parking lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and
provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these lights,
For example, some jurisdictions may
require that you operate your lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times,
or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield
wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parking
lights, especially at dawn or dusk.
It is
recommended that you check with your
own state or provincial highway
authority for applicable lighting
regulations.

Turn Signal and Lane Change
Indicator
The turn signal has two upward (for
Right) and two downward (for Left)
positions. These positions allow you to
signal a turn or
a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return
automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel
will flash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
I)
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if
the arrows don’t flash but just stay on, a
signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, have your dealer
replace
it to help avoid an accident. If
the green arrows don’t go on at all
when
you signal a turn, check the fuse
(see the
Index under Fuses G Circuit
Breakers) and for burned-out bulbs.

If your brake pedal goes down farther
than normal, your rear drum brakes
may need adjustment. Adjust them by
backing up and firmly applying the
brakes a few times.
Replacing Brake System Pa&
The braking system on a modern
vehicle is complex. Its many parts ha
to be
of top quality and work well we
together
if the vehicle is to have really
good braking. Vehicles we design and
test have top-quality GM brake parts in
them, as your Chevrolet does when it is
new. When you replace parts
of your
braking system
- for example, when
your brake linings wear down and you
have to have new ones put in
- be sure
you get new genuine
GM replacement
parts. If
you don’t, your brakes may no
longer work properly. For example, if
someone puts in brake linings th,at are
wrong for your vehicle, the balance
between your front and rear brakes can
change, for the worse. The braking
performance you’ve come to expect can
change in many other ways
if someone
puts in the wrong replacement brake
parts.
Battery
Every new Chevrolet has a Delco
Freedom* battery.
You never have to
add water to one of these. When it’s
time for a new battery, we recommend a
Delco Freedom* battery. Get one that
has the catalog number shown on the
original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle
for
25 days or more, take off the black,
negative
(-) cable from the battery. This
will help keep your battery
from
running down. Contact
your dealer to learn how to
prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
