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.

Many city roads and expressways, and
even bridges, use reversible-lane traffic control during rush hours.
A red X light
above
a lane means no driving in that
lane at that time.
A green arrow means
you may drive in that lane.
Look for the
signs posted to warn drivers what hours
and days these systems are in effect.
NO PASSING ZONE
Pavement Markings
Pavement markings add to traffic signs
and signals. They give information to
drivers without taking attention from
the roadway.
A solid yellow line on your
side of the road or lane means
Don’t
Cross.
Your Own Signals
Drivers signal to others, too. It’s not
only more polite, it’s safer to let other
drivers know what you are doing. And
in some places the law requires driver
signals.
Turn and Lane Change Signals:
Always signal when you plan to turn or
change lanes.
If necessary, you can use hand signals
out the window: Left arm straight out
for a left turn, down for slow or about-
to-stop, and up for a right turn.
Slowing Down: If time allows, tap the
brake pedal once or twice in advance of
slowing or stopping. This warns the
driver behind you.
Disabled Your four-way flashers
signal that your vehicle is disabled or
is
a hazard. See the Index under Hazard
Warning Flashers.
Traffic Officer
The traffic police officer is also a source
of important information. The officer’s
signals govern, no matter what the
traffic lights or other signs say.

Your Driving and the Road
Anti-Lock Brakes (corvr.)
And this light on the instrument panel
will go on when you start your vehicle.
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 you have your foot on the brake
pedal, this check won’t happen until the
vehicle goes about
4 mph (6 km/h) or
until you take your foot off the brake
pedal. After
an
ABS stop, you may hear a
clicking noise the next time the vehicle
goes about
4 mph (6 Wh).
If there’s a problem with the anti-lock
brake system, the anti-lock brake
system warning light will stay on or
flash. See the
Index under Anti-Lock
Brake System Warning
Light.

A computer senses that wheels are
slowing down. The computer separately
works the brakes at each front wheel
and at the rear wheels.
The anti-lock system can change the
brake pressure faster than any driver
could. The computer is programmed to
make the most of available tire and road
conditions.

braking hard.
As you brake, your
computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.

foot up to the brake pedal. If you
get too close to the vehicle in front
of you, you won’t have time to
apply your brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room up ahead to
stop, even though you have
anti-lock brakes.
To Use Anti-Lock: Don’t pump the
brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for you. You also
may hear a clicking noise as you
accelerate after a hard stop.
Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Your Chevrolet has four-wheel disc
brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in
wear indicators that make a high-
pitched warning sound when the brake
pads are worn and new pads are needed
The sound may come and go, or be
heard all the time your vehicle
is moving
(except when you are pushing
on the
brake pedal firmly).
A The brake wear warning
J sound means that sooner or
later your brakes won’t work well.
That could lead to an accident.
When you hear the brake wear
warning sound, have your vehicle
sewiced.
