Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine OFF (C): This position  lets you turn off the engine  but 
still turn  the  steering  wheel. 
It doesn’t lock the  steering 
wheel  like  LOCK.  Use 
OFF if you must have your 
vehicle pushed  or  towed. 
RUN  (D): This  position  is  where the key returns  after 
you  start  your vehicle. With  the  engine off, you can  use 
RUN to display  some of your warning and  indicator 
lights. 
START 
(E): This  position  starts your engine. 
A warning  chime will sound 
if you open the driver’s 
door  when  the ignition is 
in OFF, LOCK or ACC  and 
the key  is in the ignition. 
Starting Your Engine 
Move your  shift  lever  to  PARK (P)  or NEUTRAL (N). 
Your engine  won’t start in any other  position -- that’s  a 
safety  feature.  To restart when you’re already moving, 
use  NEUTRAL 
(N) only. 
NOTICE: 
Don’t  try  to shift  to  PARK  (P)  if your  Chevrolet 
is  moving.  If  you do, you  could  damage  the 
transaxle.  Shift  to  PARK 
(P) only  when  your 
vehicle  is  stopped. 
I NOTICE: 
If  your  key seems  stuck  in  LOCK  and  you can’t 
turn  it, be  sure  it 
is all  the  way  in. If  it  is, then 
turn  the  steering  wheel  left and  right  while  you 
turn  the  key  hard.  But  turn  the  key  only  with 
your  hand.  Using 
a tool to  force  it  could  break 
the  key  or  the ignition  switch.  If  none 
of this 
works,  then  your  vehicle  needs  service.

Your speedometer  lets you  see your speed in both miles 
per hour  (mph) and  kilometers per hour (kdh). Your 
odometer shows  how far your vehicle has been  driven in 
either  miles (used  in the  United  States)  or  in kilometers 
(used 
in Canada). 
Your  Chevrolet  has  a  tamper-resistant  odometer. 
If you 
see  silver  lines  between  the numbers, you’ll know 
someone has probably  tampered with 
it and the numbers 
may 
not be  true. 
You  may  wonder what happens 
if your  vehicle  needs a 
new  odometer  installed. If the new  one can be set to  the 
mileage total 
of the  old  odometer, then  it must  be. But  if 
it  can’t,  then it’s set  at zero and  a  label must be  put  on 
the driver’s door to show the  old mileage reading when 
the  new  odometer was installed. 
Trip  Odometer 
Your  trip odometer tells  how far you  have driven  since 
you  last  reset  it. 
To set it to zero, press  the reset  button. 
Tachometer 
The tachometer  displays the engine  speed in thousands 
of revolutions  per minute (rpm). 
NOTICE: 
Do not  operate  the  engine  with  the  tachometer  in 
the  red  area,  or engine  damage  may  occur.

If  your  Chevrolet  has this  radio with cassette  tape 
player,  follow the instructions  earlier 
in this manual 
under  “AMEM  Stereo Radio’’ 
to play the radio. For 
other  features,  see  the following  instructions. 
If  your  radio  has 
a cassette  tape  player, you can set 
21 preset  stations (7 AM, 7 FMl  and 7 FM2).  Also, 
your system  will  not have the  SCAN  feature.  Instead,  it 
will have PSCAN. 
PSCAN: Press both  SEEK  arrows,  and PSCAN will 
appear 
in the display. Use PSCAN to listen to each  of 
your preset  stations  for 
a few seconds.  The  radio will go

on to the next preset  station. Press either  SEEK arrow 
or  the upper knob to  stop  scanning.

If  you  hear nothing  or hear 
a garbled  sound, the  tape  may 
not  be 
in squarely.  Press  EJECT  to remove the  tape  and 
start  over.  Tapes  that  are longer  than 
30 to  45  minutes 
long  on  a side  may  not  work  well  in  this  player. 
While the tape  is playing,  use the  VOLUME,  FADE, 
BAL, TREB and BASS  controls  just 
as you do for the 
radio. Other  controls may have different  functions when 
a tape is inserted. The display  will show  an arrow to 
show which  side 
of the tape is playing. 
Note that  cassette tape adapter kits 
for portable compact 
disc  players will  not work 
in your  cassette  player. These 
adapters 
will cause  an error  message in the display,  and 
the  adapter  cassette  will  be ejected.
