1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery wlm a\
negauve
ground system.

If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a negative \
ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be
sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other. If they are, it could cause
a
ground connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to start your
vehicle, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical syst\

First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area around
your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between
“R’ (Reverse) and a
forward gear (or with a manual transmission, between First or \
Second gear and Reverse), spinning the wheels as little as possible. Release the
accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal
when the transmission is
in gear. If that doesn’t get you out after a few .tries,
you may need to be towed out. Or, you can use your recovery hooks, if your
vehicle has them.
If you do need to be towed out, see “Towing Your
Vehicle” in the Index.
Using the Recovery Hooks
If you ever get stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow, your vehicle may be
equipped with recovery hooks. The recovery hooks are provided at the front
of your vehicle. You may need to use them if you’re stuck off-road and
need to be pulled to some place where you can continue driving.

Engine Coolant
The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant \
when it
is low.
If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your vehicle will:
Give freezing protection down to -20 “F (-29” C), or -34°F (-37 “C) in
Canada and for vehicles with the cold climate option.
e Give boiling protection up to 258°F (125°C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.

antifreeze that meets “GM Specification 603%” or “GM Specification
6043-M ”for the 2.2L (LN2) Code 4 engine, which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use
a recycled coolant conforming to “GM
Specification 603%” or “GM Specification 6043-M ”for the 2.2L (LN2)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Brake Wear
Your vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high\
-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are \
needed. The
sound may come and go or be heard
all the time your vehicle is moving
(except when you -are pushing on the brake pedal
firmly).
I NOTICE:
I
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in
costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal w\
hen the
brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something is
wrong with your brakes.
Your rear
drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but if you ever hear a
rear brake rabbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected. Also, the
rear brake drums should be removed and inspected each time the\
tires itre
removed for rotation or changing. When you have the front brakes replaced,
have the rear brakes inspected, too.
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, o\
r if
there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake
trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your rear drum brakes
may need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and
firmly applying the
brakes a few times.
