CHEVROLET S10 1994 2.G Manual Online

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A green arrow on the
instrument panel will
flash in the direction
of the turn
or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t f\
lash but just stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go
on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher installed, the signal
indicator will flash even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Checkthe front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they
are working.
Operation Of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal ligh\
ting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special attention before you operat\
e these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your f\
og
lamps only when your lower beam headlights
are also on, or that headlights
be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In add\
ition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, \
especially at
dawn or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.

Windshield Wipers
To change the
headlights from low

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want
more cycles, hold the band on
MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This
can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to
choose the delay
time. The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you \
to the
LO
position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the
wipers, move the band to the off symbol.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing \
well enough to drive safely.
To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new
blades
or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice
c overload y---r wipers. A circuit breaker will stop
them until the motor cools. Clear away snow
or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever there’s a paddle marked with the
windshield washer symbol and
PUSH. To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the paddle.
The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return t\
o your
preset speed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous. A bad mud splash can block
your vision. You could hit another vehicle or go off the road. Check your
washes fluid level often.
NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution
to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
0 Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if it is
completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.

With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 kndh)
or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help
on
long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph
(40 km/h).
If you have a manual transmission and you apply your brakes or p\
ush the
clutch pedal, the Cmise Control will shut off.

Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you apply
the brake. This, of course, shuts off the Cruise Control.
But you don’t need
to reset
it. Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can
move the Cruise Control switch from
ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Remember, if you hold the switch at
R/A (Resume/Accelerate) longer than
half a second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch
or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose control. So unless
you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at
R/A (Resume/Accelerate).

e button at

You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s the second
:

there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the
switch.

0 Push in the
button at the end
of the lever until
you reach the
lower speed you
want, then release
it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph
(1.6 kmh) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you tak\
e your foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control speed you
set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon \
your speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. \
When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to \
keep your speed
down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this
to be too much trouble and don’t use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
