Cigarette Lighter
To use the lighter, push it in all the way
and let go. When it’s ready, it will pop
back by itself.
NOTICE:
Don’t hold a cigarette lighter in with
your hand while it is heating. If you
do, it won’t be able to back away
from the heating element when it’s
ready. That can make it overheat,
damaging the lighter and the heating
element.

of the center console. The plug can be

Ventilation Tips

0
..
Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducini
the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold
weather, adjust the fan to the highest
speed for a few moments before
driving
off. This helps clear the intake
ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.

Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been
designed to operate easily and give years
of listening pleasure. But you will get the
most enjoyment out of
it if you acquaint
yourself with it first. Find out what your
Delco@ system can do and how to operate
all its controls, to be sure you’re getting
the most out of the advanced engineering
that went into it.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment
to your
;chicle - like a tape player,
CB radio, mobile telephone or two-
way radio
- be sure you can add
what you want. If you can, it’s very
important to do it properly. Added
sound equipment may interfere
with the operation of your vehicle’s
engine, Delco@ radio or other systems, and even damage them. And, your
vehicle’s systems may interfere with
the operation of sound equipment
that has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment,
check with your dealer and be sure to
check Federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone units.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving too fast through large water
puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The
water may affect your brakes. Try to
avoid puddles.
But if you can’t, try to
slow down before you
hit them.
Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much
water can build up under your tires that
they can actually ride
on the water. This
can happen if the road is wet enough and
you’re going fast enough. When your
vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or
no
contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it
can
if your tires haven’t much tread or if
the pressure in one or more is low. It can
happen if a lot of water is standing on the
road.
If you can see reflections from trees,
telephone poles, or other vehicles, and
raindrops “dimple” the water’s surface,
there could be hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning usually happens at higher
speeds. There just isn’t a hard and fast
rule about hydroplaning. The best advice
IS to slow down when it is raining.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
0 Turn on your low-beam headlights -
not just your parking lights - to help
make you more visible to others.
0 Besides slowing down, allow some
extra following distance. And be
especially careful when you pass
another vehicle. Allow yourself more
clear room ahead, and be prepared to
have your view restricted by road
spray.
Have good tires with proper tread
depth. (See “Tires” in the Index.)

Customer Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and Chevrolet.
Normally, any concern with the sales
transaction or the operation of your
vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s
Sales or Service Departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best
intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur. If your
concern has not been resolved to your
satisfaction, the following steps should
be taken:
STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with
a member of dealership management.
Normally, concerns can be quickly
resolved at that level. If the matter has
already been reviewed with the Sales,
Service, or Parts Manager, contact the
owner of the dealership or the General
Manager.
STEP TWO: If after contacting a
member of dealership management, it
appears your concern cannot be resolved
by the dealership without further help,

GM Participation in
Alternative Dispute Resolution Program
*
BBB AUTO LZNE -
Both Chevrolet and your Chevrolet dealer
are committed to making sure you are
completely satisfied with your new
vehicle. Our experience has shown that,
if a situation arises where you feel your
concern has not been adequately
addressed, the Customer Satisfaction Procedure described'earlier in this section
is very successful.
There may be instances where an
impartial third-party can assist in arriving
at a solution to a disagreement regarding
vehicle repairs or interpretation of the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty. To assist in resolving these disagreements
Chevrolet voluntarily participates in BBB
AUTO LINE.
BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court
program administered by the Better
Business Bureau system to settle disputes
between customers and automobile
manufacturers. This program is available
free of charge to customers who currently
own or lease
a GM vehicle.
If you are not satisfied after following the
Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you
may contact the BBB using the toll-free
telephone number, or write them at the
following address:
BBB AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite 800
Arlington, VA 22203
Telephone: 1-800-955-5100
To file a claim, you will be asked to
provide your name and address, your
vehicle identification number (VIN), and
a statement of the nature of your
complaint. Eligibility is limited by vehicle
age and mileage, and other factors.
We prefer you utilize the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure before you resort to
AUTO LINE, but you may contact the
BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt
to resolve the complaint serving as an
intermediary between you and Chevrolet.
If this mediation is unsuccessful, an
informal hearing will be scheduled where
eligible customers may present their case
to an impartial third-party arbitrator.
The arbitrator will make a decision which
you may accept or reject. If you accept
the decision, GM will be bound by that
decision. The entire dispute resolution
procedure should ordinarily take about
forty days from the time you file a claim
until a decision is made.
Some state laws may require you to use
this program before filing a claim with a
state-run arbitration program or in the
courts. For further information, contact
the BBB at 1-800-955-5100 or the
Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center at
1-800-222- 1020.
* This program may not be available
in all states, depending on state law.
Canadian owners refer to your
Warranty and Owner Assistance
information booklet. General Motors
reserves the right to change eligibility
limitations and/or to discontinue its
participation
in this program.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How You Can Get an Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most
of the
PSP’s which could potentially
apply to the most recent Chevrolet models
will be listed in the most recent
publication for that model year. This
means you may want to wait until the end
of the model year before ordering an
index, if you are interested in buying
PSP’s pertaining to a current model year
car or truck.
Some
PSP’s pertaining to a particular
model year vehicle may be published in
later years, and these would be listed
in
the later year’s index. When you order an
index for a model year that is not over
yet, we’ll send you the most recently
published issue. Check the ordering form
for indexes for earlier model years.
Cut out the ordering form, fjll it out, and
mail it in. We will then see to it that an
index is mailed to you. There is
no charge
for indexes for the
1990- 1994 model
years.
Toll-Free Telephone Number
If you want an additional ordering form
€or an index, just call toll-free and we’ll
be happy to send you one. Automated
recording equipment will take your name
and mailing address. The number to call
is
1-800-551-4123.
A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER:
These PSP’s are meant for technicians.
They are not meant for the
”do-it-yourselfer.” Technicians have the
equipment, tools, safety instructions, and
know-how to do a job quickly and safely.
