Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Power Steering
If the steering system power as­
sist fails due to some malfunction,
or because the engine has stalled,
the car can still be steered. How­
ever, much greater effort
is re­
quired, particularly in sharp turns.
Tilt Steering Wheel
The tilt steering wheel (optional
equipment) can be tilted up above
normal position to provide addi­
tional room for entrance and exit as
well
as selected driving posi­
tions below normal height. This
permits individual selection of the
most natural position for all driv­
ing conditions.
On long trips the
steering wheel position can be
changed to minimize tension and
fatigue.
The tilt mechanism
is operated
by lifting up on the small control
lever
on the left side of the
steering column just below the
directional signal, moving the
steering wheel to the selected
position, and releasing the lever.
Cruise-Master
The optional Cruise Master Sys­
tem provides automatic speed con­
trol for
your comfort when driving
on freeways, turnpikes, or other
non-congested highways.
To engage the Cruise Master,
proceed
as follows:
21
• Accelerate to desired crUIsmg
speed and partially depress and
release the control button at the
end of the turn signal lever.
• Remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal and desired
speed will automatically be
maintained.
• To change automatic speed set­
ting , press control button until
it bottoms and hold until de­
sired speed
is attained.
• Before releasing control button,
hesitate at the partially de­
pressed position, then remove

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER:
The headlamp circuit is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your
wiring circuits checked immediately. Also, a circuit breaker, mounted on the firewall, protects the power window and power seat circuits if vehicle is so equipped. Where current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
intermittently opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the cause is found and eliminated.
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:
Radio, TCS, Rear Defogger

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse, 30 amp. is located in an I n-line fuse holder running from horn relay to Air Conditioning relay.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above.
Fusible Links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire
wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.
