speed switch.
Manual Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures, when little heating or
cooling is needed, you can still direct outside air through
your vehicle.
Press the arrows on the TEMP SET switch to set a
comfortable temperature. For ventilation, the system can’t cool the vehicle below the outside temperature.
Press VENT and, if you don’t like the automatic setting,
press the arrows on the fan speed switch. The air conditioner
works best if you keep your
windows closed.
On very hot days: open the windows
just long enough for the hot air to escape.
Press the arrows
on the TEMP SET switch to set a
comfortable temperature. Press RECIRCULATE. After
cool-down, adjust the airflow to another setting. The
compressor works in all settings except
VENT and
HEATER and at all temperatures above freezing.
Press the arrows on the fan speed switch
if you don’t
like the automatic setting. In
AUTO FAN on hot days,
the fan speed will be low at first to help get rid
of the
hot inside air.
When the air conditioner is on, you may notice slight
changes in your vehicle’s engine speed and power. This
is normal because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor on and off to keep the desired temperature
and help fuel economy.

System Problems
If the light above an air control button flashes when you
turn on the ignition, your system may have an electrical
problem. The flashing will continue for one minute, then
stop.
The flashing light could also mean the refrigerant level
is too low in your system. The light will continue to
flash, even if refrigerant is added, until the system is
reset. Have your system checked and serviced if needed.
To reset your system:
1. Turn your ignition key to OFF or LOCK.
2. Remove the courtesy lamps and radio fuses from the
main fuse panel and wait one minute. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
3. Put the fuses back in and start your vehicle.
The light shouldn’t come on and your system should be
working properly. If you still have a problem, see your
dealer.

I
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window. The power mirrors
are also warmed when the rear window defogger is on.
Press the button with the defog symbol on it to turn on
the defogger. (The button is on the lower right on the
manual system and on the upper right on the automatic
system.) An indicator light will come on to remind you
that the defogger is
on. The defogger will turn off
automatically after about ten minutes of use. You can also
turn the defogger off by pressing the switch again
or by turning off the ignition.
Do not attach anything like a tempbrary vehicle license
or a decal across the defogger grid
on the rear window.
I NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn’t be covered
by your warranty.
Specially Treated Windshield (ZR-1)
Your ZR- 1 windshield is treated to reduce the amount of
solar heat entering your vehicle. It makes it easier for
your air conditioning system to keep you comfortable.
The windshield treatment reduces the effectiveness of
some carry-on electrical equipment. Therefore, there’s
an opening in the windshield treatment at the bottom
center of the windshield
so that carry-on electrical
equipment may be used.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat.
If they aren't, they may not operate
properly or cause failure of the tape player.
'
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. If you notice a reduction in sound
quality, try a known good cassette to see
if the tape or
the tape player is at fault. If this other cassette has no
improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It
is normal for the cartridge to eject while cleaning. Insert
the cassette at least
3 times to ensure thorough cleaning.
A scrubbing action cleaning cassette is available through
your Chevrolet dealership.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject. It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing
type cleaner.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure that the cassette
tape is in
good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs
by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Power Antenna Mast Care
Your power antenna will look its best and work well if
it’s cleaned from time to time.
To clean the antenna mast:
1. Turn on the radio to raise the antenna.
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or an
equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe the cloth over the mast, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe the mast dry with a clean cloth.
5. Turn the radio off and on to make the antenna go up
and down.
If the antenna
is still dirty, repeat the steps.
NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication
I could damage it. I
I NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off
your radio to make the power antenna go down.
This will prevent the mast from possibly getting
damaged.
If the antenna does not go down when
you turn the radio
off, it may be damaged or
need to be cleaned. In either case, lower the
antenna by hand by carefully pressing the
antenna down.
If the antenna mast is damaged, you can replace it. See
your dealer for a replacement kit and follow the
instructions
in the kit. The antenna mast can be replaced
without removing the entire antenna from the vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive
in spurts
-- heavy acceleration followed by heavy
braking
-- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This
is
a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool
between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much
faster if you do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace
with the traffic and allow realistic following distances,
you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That
means better braking and longer brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake
normally but don’t pump your brakes. If
you do, the
pedal may get harder to push down.
If your engine
stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But
you will use it when you brake. Once the power assist is
used up, it may take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push.

system that will help prevent a braking skid.

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
there’s a problem with the anti-lock brake system, the
anti-lock brake system warning light will stay on.
