indicators are visible.

Keep tires properly inflated.
If your vehicle is equipped with
radial tires, your tires were de­
signed
to p rov ide better snow tr ac ­
tion performance than bias or bias­
. belt ed tires without snow treads.
However, if you equip your vehicle
with snow tires, you sh o uld use
snow tires of the
.'same size, loa d
range, and construction type as
your
other tires .. , Vehicle spe eds

Tire Replacement ·
Considerations
You should replace your tires
when
.. ,
1. Your tire s are worn to a point
where 2/32 inch
or less tread
remain s or worn deep enough to
expose the cord
or fabric. 'To
help you .. detect this condition,
your tir
es incorporate built-in
tread wear indicators
that appear
between the tread grooves
when
tread depth is 2/32 in ch or less.
When the indicators appear in
two
or m ore adjacent grooves at
thr ee l
ocation s around the tire,
the tire should be replaced.
2 .
Y our tire tread or sidewall is
crac~ed, cut, or snagged deep
enough to expose the cord
or
fabric.

bulge, or separati on.
4.
Your tire susta ins a puncture,
cut ,
or otrer injury that cannot

Wheel Replacement
Considerations
Wheels must be replaced if bent,
heavily rusted, leak
air, or if lug
nuts continually loosen. Do not
straighten bent wheels or
use inner
tu bes in leaking wheels.
When replacing
Wheels for any
reason, the replacement wheels
should be equivalent in load
capa-
5-20
city, diameter; width, offset, and
mounting configurations to those
~ originally installed on your vehicle.
Replacement wheels can
be ob­
tained from your
CheVrolet dealers.
A wheel of improper
size or type
may .
adversel'y affect wheel and
bearing life, brake
cooling, speed­
ometer/odometer calibration, ~ ve­
hicle ground dearance, and tire
clearance to
thibody and chassis.
Replacement
with "used" wheels
which may have been subjected to
harsh operating cQnditions or very
high mileage
is n@t recommended.
These wheels may fail prematurely
without
any , prior 0sual indication.
Warranty
Tires . are guarante~d by the tire
manufacturers.
Guar/lntee informa­
tion is included in the Passenger
Car Tire Owner's Guaranteefolder
furnished with your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Cleaner
Your Cl:
receives its power from
a
mixture of gasoline and air. The
air is taken into the system through
the air cleaner so it's important to
replace~he air cJea!1er at required
intervals. A dirty
air cleaner re­
duces . engine efficiency.
Properly Tuned'Engine
Overall tuning (a check on tlin­
ing , spark plugs, emission control
devices, etc;)
can improve your
car's gas mi,leage . You just
can't
expect an "out-of-tune" engine to
give you good gas mileage and
cleaner air.
Excess Weight
Fuel economy is related to the
work. the engine . must do. The
heavier the load , the more power it
take
s. Keep excess weight to a
minimum by removing any per­
sonal effects or luggage from the
car or trunk when they are not
needed.
Tire Inflation
Underinfiation not only causes
needless wear of the tires, but
can
also waste gasoline. It's a good
idea to check tire pressures
regularly.
Wheel Alignment
Incorrect "toe in" or "toe out" can
have the effect,of dragging your
front tires sideways
and may cause
premature tire wear.
It takes power
to carry this extra load and that
takes gas from your tank.
Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter is an
emi ssio n control device added to
5-22 the
exhaust system to reduce hy­
drocarbon
and carbon monoxide
pollutants from the exhaust gas
stream. The converter contains
beads which are coated with a cata­
lytic material containing platinum
and palladium.
Use of the catalytic converter
has the advantage
of allowing the
engine
to be re-tuned for improved
fuel economy anddriveability.
The catalytic converter requires
the use
of unleaded fuel only,
Unleaded gasoline is used to re­
duce combustion chamber deposits,
corrosion
and to prevent lead con­
tamination
of the catalyst that
would render it ineffective.
The use
of leaded fuel will cause the COIO- .
lytic converter to become ineffec­
tive
as an emission control device.
