I you or other people. 1

Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these
blue notices:
NATICF
I
In the blue notice area, we tell you
about something. that can damage your
vehicle. Many times, this damage would
not be covered by your warranty, and
it
could .be costly. But the notice will tell
you what to do to help avoid the
damage.
When you read other manuals, you
might see
CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings in different colors or in
different words. In this manual, we’ve
used the familiar words and colors that
Chevrolet has used for years.
You’ll also see warning labels on your
vehicle. They use the same colors, and
the words
CAUTION or NOTICE.

Daytime 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.
Your DRL work with a light sensor on
top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low 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. At dusk,
the exterior lights will come on
automatically and the low beams will
change to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change to the reduced
brightness of DRL (if the headlight
switch is
off).
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 while the ignition
is in the
Off or Lock position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay
off
until you release the parking brake.

Road Signs
The road signs you see everywhere are coded by color, shape and symbols. It’s
a good idea to lmow these codes
so that
you can quickly grasp the basic meaning
or intent
of the sign even before you
have a chance to read it.
Color of Road Signs
Red means Stop. It may also indicate
that some movement is not allowed.
Examples are
Do Not Enter, Wrong
Way,
or No Parking.
Green
is used to guide the driver.
Green signs may indicate upcoming
freeway exits or show the direction you
should turn to reach a particular place.
RR ADVANCE NARROW NO PASSING
CROSSING BRIDGE ZONE
Yellow indicates a general warning.
Slow down and be careful when you see
a yellow sign. It may signal a railroad
crossing ahead, a no passing zone, or
some other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise, a yellow solid line
painted on the road means
Don’t Cross.
HOSPITAL INFORMATION
Blue signs with white letters show
motorists’ services.
