Switch
NOTICE:
Your modern Chevrolet doesn’t need an
elaborate “break-in.” But it will perform better
in the long run if you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow -- for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle
starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this “breaking-in” guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See
“Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for more
information.
0 Avoid making hard stops for the first
With the ignition key
in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch
to five positions:
ACC
(A): This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off.
To
use ACC, push in the key and turn it toward you. Your
steering wheel will stay locked.
LOCK
(B): Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK.
It’s also the only position
in which you can remove your key. This position locks
your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s
a
theft-deterrent feature.

Fuel Gage

E F
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left when the ignition
is on. When the indicator
nears EMPTY
(E), you still
have a little fuel left, but
you should get more soon.
Here are some things owners ask about. All these
situations are normal and do not show a problem with
your fuel gage:
At the service station, the pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL (F).
0 It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage
indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated
the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more
or less than half
the tank’s capacity to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed
up.

If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you
may have a problem with the charging system. It could
indicate that you have a loose drive belt or another
electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving
while this light is

If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn

other features, see the following instructions.

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
