Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If
a transmitter
is lost or stolen,
a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with
you when you go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, any remaining transmitters must
also be
matched. Once the new transmitter
is coded, the lost
transmitter,will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to
it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chaill
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at
the normal range in any location. If you
have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time
to change the batteries.
To replace the batteries:
1. Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot on the back
of the transmitter. Gently pry apart the front and back.
2. Gently pry the batteries out of the transmitter.
3. Put the new batteries into the transmitter as shown
on the transmitter. Use DuracelP batteries, type
DL20 16, or equivalent.
4. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
halves are together tightly
so water won’t get in.
5. Test the transmitter.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly applied.
This does
not mean something is wrong with your brakes.
Free movement
of brake calipers and properly torqued
wheel nuts are necessary to help prevent brake
pulsation. When tires are rotated, inspect brake calipers
for movement, brake pads for wear, and evenly torque
wheel nuts in the proper sequence to
GM specifications.
Brake linings should always be replaced
as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or if there is a rapid increase
in pedal
travel. This could be
a sign of brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex.
Its many parts have to be
of top quality and work well
together
if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake
parts in them,
as your Chevrolet does when it is new.
When you replace parts
of your braking system -- for
example, when your brake linings wear down and you
have to have new ones put
in -- be sure you get new
genuine
GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your
brakes may no longer work properly. For example, if
someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes
can change
-- for the worse. The braking performance
you’ve come to expect can change in many other ways
if
someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new Chevrolet has a Delco Freedom@ battery.
You never have to add water to one
of these. When
it’s time for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco
Freedom@ battery. Get one
that has the replacement
number shown on the original battery’s label.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, take off the black, negative
(-) cable from
the battery. This
will help keep your battery from
running down.
’ I A CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt
if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around
a battery without
getting hurt.
Bulb Replacement
In this section you’ll find directions for changing the
bulbs
in some of the lamps on your Chevrolet. See
“Replacement Bulbs”
in the Index to find the type
of bulb you should use.
Halogen Bulbs
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature”
in the Index.
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be sure to read and
follow the instructions on the bulb package.
Headlamps
1. Open the hood.
2. Press and turn the base a quarter-turn
(counterclockwise for the driver’s side; clockwise
for the passenger’s side) and remove
it from the
retaining ring by gently pulling
it back and away
from the headlamp.
