Intermittent Windshield Wipers
(OPTION)
If your vehicle has intermittent
windshield wipers, you can set the
wiper speed for
a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful
in light rain or snow.
Move the stalk to
DEL, then rotate the
band marked
DELAY to choose the
delay you want. Rotate the band up for
shorter delay times between wiper
cycles. Rotate the band down for longel
delay times between wiper cycles.
For a single wiper cycle, push the stalk
to
MIST, then let go.

Windshield Washer
Standard Wipers:
To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, pull the stalk with the wipe]
symbol
on it toward you one time.
When you release the stalk the washers
will stop, but the wipers will keep going
in low until you move the wiper control
to OFF.
Intermittent Windshield Wipers:
If you have intermittent windshield
wipers, after each wash cycle ends the
wipers will resume the delay speed you
were using before.
If you had no speed
selected, the wipers will stop. Driving
without washer fluid can be
dangerous.
A bad mud splash can block
your vision.
You could hit another
vehicle or go
off the road. Check your
washer fluid level often.

NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer
fluid, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-
use washer fluid. Water can cause
the solution
to freeze and damage
your washer fluid tank and other
parts
of the washer system. Also,
water doesn’t clean as well as
washer fluid.
*Fill your washer fluid tank only
%
full when it’s very cold. This
allows for expansion, which could
damage the tank if it is
completely
full.
*Don’t use radiator antifreeze in
your windshield washer. It can
damage your washer system and
paint.
&&? co&ol (OPTION)
With cruise control, you can maintain a
speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or
more without keeping your foot on the
accelerator. This can really help
on long
trips. Cruise control does not work at
speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, or the
clutch pedal, the cruise control shuts
off.
To Set Cruise Control
1. Move the cruise control switch to ON.
2. Get up to the speed you want.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Reduce your speed according to your
speedometer, not to your sense of motion.
After driving for any distance at higher
speeds, you may tend
to think you are
going slower than you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long
Trip
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well
rested.
If you must start when you’re
not fresh
- such as after a day’s work
- don’t plan to make too many miles
that first part
of the journey. Wear
comfortable clothing and shoes you can
easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If
you keep it serviced and maintained, it’s
ready to
go. If it needs service, have it
done before starting out. Of course,
you’ll find experienced and able service
experts in Chevrolet dealerships all
across North America. They’ll be ready
and willing to help
if you need it.
Here are some things you can check
before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid Is the
reservoir full? Are all windows clean
inside and outside?
Wiper Blades: Are they in good
shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have
you checked all levels?
Lights: Are they all working? Are the
lenses clean?
Tires: They are vitally important to a
safe, trouble-free trip.
Is the tread
good enough for long-distance
driving? Are the tires all inflated to
the recommended pressure?
weather outlook along your route?
Should you delay your trip a short
time to avoid a major storm system?
Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?
Weather Forecasts: What’s the
Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as
“highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain
falling asleep at the wheel? Call it
highway hypnosis, lack
of awareness, or
whatever.
There is something about an easy
stretch of road with the same scenery,
along with the hum of the tires on the
road, the drone
of the engine, and the rush
of the wind against the vehicle that
can make you sleepy. Don’t let it
happen to you! If it does, your vehicle
can leave the road in
less than a
second,
and you could crash and be
injured.
What can you do about highway
hypnosis? First, be aware that it can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well
ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road
ahead and to the. sides. Check your
rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into
a rest, service, or parking area and
take a nap, get some exercise, or both.
For safety, treat drowsiness
on the
highway as an emergency.

Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your Chevrolet in good shape
for winter. Be sure your engine
coolant mix is correct.
You may want to put winter
emergency supplies in your trunk.
Include an ice scraper, a small brush or
broom,
a supply of windshield washer
fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing,
a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth,
and a couple
of reflective warning
triangles. And,
if you will be driving
under severe conditions, include a small
bag
of sand, a piece of old carpet or a
couple of burlap bags to help provide
traction. Be sure you properly secure
these items in your vehicle.
Driving on Snow or Ice
Most of the time, those places wnere
your tires meet the road probably have
good traction.
However, if there is snow or ice
between your tires and the road, you
can have a very slippery situation.
You’ll have a lot less traction or “grip”
and will need to be very careful.
What’s the worst time for this? “Wet
ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be slick
and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be
even more trouble because it may offer
the least traction of all. You can get
“wet ice” when it’s about freezing
(32°F; OOC) and freezing rain begins to
fall. Try to avoid driving on wet ice until
salt and sand crews can get there.

How To Check Power Steering
Fluid
Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick
with a clean rag. Replace the cap and
completely tighten it. Then remove the
cap again and look at the fluid level on
the dipstick.
When the engine compartment is hot,
the level should be near the
H mark.
When the engine compartment is
cool, the level should be near the
C
mark.
What to Add
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to
determine what kind of fluid to use. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
in the Index.
NOTICE:
When adding power steering fluid
or malting
a complete fluid change,
always use the proper fluid. Failure
to use the proper fluid can cause
leaks and damage hoses and seals. I Windshield Washer Fluid

I Brakes
Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here. It is
filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
There are only two reasons why the
brake fluid level in your master cylinder
might go down. The first is that the
brake fluid goes down to an acceptable
level during normal brake lining wear.
When new linings are put in, the fluid
level goes back up. The other reason is
that fluid is leaking out of the brake
system.
If it is, you should have your
brake system fixed, since a leak means
that sooner or later your brakes won’t
work well,
or won’t work at all. So, it
isn’t a good idea to “top off” your brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a
leak.
If you add fluid when your linings
are worn, then you’ll have too much
fluid when
you get new brake linings.
You should add (or remove) brake
fluid, as necessary, only when work
is
done on the brake hydraulic system.
When your brake fluid falls
to a low
level, your brake warning light will
come on. See
Brake System Warning
Light in the Index.
What to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3 brake fluid
- such as Delco
Supreme
11@ (GM Part No.1052535).
