CHEVROLET S10 1995 2.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
Don’t keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your
engine can become
so hot that it catches fire. You or others could
be burned. Check your oil
as soon as possible and have your
vehicle serviced.
NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be
costly and is not covered
by your warranty.
Fuel Gage
The fuel gage tells
you about how much
fuel you have
remaining when the
ignition
is on. When
the gage first indicates
empty, you still have a
little fuel left, but you
should get more fuel
soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a
problem with your fuel gage:
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
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 the
tank.
0 The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.
The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.
For your fuel tank capacity, see the Index under “Fluid Capacities.”

When your engine is
not running, but the
ignition is
on (in the
RUN position), this
gage shows your
battery’s state
of
charge in DC volts.
When the engine is running, the gage shows
the condition of the charging
system. Readings between the low and high warning zones indicate the
normal operating range.
Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a large number
of
electrical accessories are operating in the vehicle and the engine is left at an
idle
for an extended period. This condition is normal since the charging
system is not able
to provide full power at engine idle. As engine speeds are
increased, this condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds allow
the charging system to create maximum power.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading
in either warning zone.
If you must drive, turn off all unnecessary accessories.
Readings
in either warning zone indicate a possible problem in the electrical
system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon
as possible.
Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL)
Feed Wire
Your vehicle includes a Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) located
above the rear window.
If equipment such as a cap or camper is installed, a wire labeled “Center
High Mounted
Stop Lamp (CHMSL)” feed is provided along the left rear
frame.
This wire should be used to install a CHMSL in the cap or camper.

Your vehicle may have either a 5-wire or 7-wire harness.
The 5-wire harness is stored under your vehicle, along the left rear frame
crossmember. The harness has no connector, and you should have a
qualified service person wire your harness for you. Be sure you leave it
loose enough
so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but not so loose that it
drags on the ground.
Store the harness in its original place. Wrap the harness together and tie it
neatly
so it won’t be damaged.
The 7-wire is stored under your vehicle along the rear frame crossmember.
This harness has a
30 Amp. in-line fused battery feed wire and no
connector, and should be wired by
a qualified service person. Attach the
harness to the trailer, then tape or strap
it to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be
sure you leave it loose enough
so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but not
so loose that it drags on the ground.
Store the harness in its original place. Wrap the harness together and tie it
neatly
so it won’t be damaged.
The fuse for trailer wiring is in-line and located in left front side panel
electrical block.

Section
In this section you'll find out how to operate the comfort control systems
and audio systems offered with your vehicle. Be sure to read about the
particular system supplied with your vehicle.
Comfort Controls
Heater Controls
If your vehicle does
not have air
conditioning, your
heater controls will
look like this.
The switch with the fan symbol changes the fan speed.
To increase the fan
speed, push the switch upward toward
HI. To decrease the fan speed, push
the switch downward toward
LO.
The upper knob changes the air temperature. Turn the knob clockwise for
warmer air. Turn the knob counterclockwise for cooler air.
3-1

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The lower knob changes the heater function and determines which outlets
the air will flow through (instrument panel, defroster, heater, etc.).
OFF - This setting turns off all heating functions. Some outside air will
still come out of the heater outlet whenever the vehicle is moving forward.
VENT - Airflow is through the instrument panel vents. Set the upper knob
to the temperature desired. This setting is useful for mild outside
temperatures, when little heating or cooling is desired.
BI-LEV - Outside air comes in through the heater floor vents and the
instrument panel vents. This setting is useful
in cool weather with bright
sunlight.
HEAT
- Heated air comes out through the heater floor vents and
windshield defroster vents. This setting is useful for cold weather.
BLEND - Airflow is divided equally between the heater floor vent and the
windshield defroster vents. This setting is useful
in cool weather when you
have fog
or ice on the windshield or side windows.
DEF - This setting directs most air through the windshield defroster vents
and some through the heater vents. This setting
is useful when you have fog
or ice on the windshield.
Heater/Air Conditioning Controls
If your vehicle has air
conditioning, your
heatedair conditioning
controls will look like
this.
Before using your vehicle's air conditioning, open the windows to clear the
vehicle of
hot air.
The switch with the fan symbol changes the fan speed. To increase the fan
speed, push the switch upward toward
HI. To decrease the fan speed, push
the switch downward toward
LO.

defroster, heater, etc.).
OFF - This setting turns off all heating functions. Some outside air will
still come out of the heater outlet whenever the vehicle is moving forward.
MAX A/C
- Air inside your vehicle is recirculated to maximize your air
conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s fuel economy. This setting
cools the air the fastest and should be used to keep “unwanted odors” and/or
dust from entering the vehicle.
NORM A/C - This setting cools outside air and directs it through the
instrument panel vents. This setting is useful for normal cooling on hot
days.
BI-LEV A/C
- Air is delivered through the heater floor vents as well as
the instrument panel vents. This setting is useful in cool weather with bright
sunlight.
VENT - Airflow is through the instrument panel vents. Set the upper knob
to the temperature desired. This setting is useful for mild outside
temperatures, when little heating or cooling is desired. The air conditioner
does not run.
HEAT
- Heated air comes out through the heater floor vents and
windshield defroster vents. This setting is useful for cold weather.
BLEND
- Airflow is divided equally between the heater floor vent and the
windshield defroster vents. This setting
is useful in cool weather when you
have fog or ice on the windshield
or side windows.
DEF - This setting directs most air through the windshield defroster vents
and some through the heater vents. This setting is useful when you have fog
or ice on the windshield.
Engine Coolant Heater (Option)
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before starting your engine,
your heating system
will produce warmer air faster, to heat the passenger
compartment
in cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ventilation System
Your vehicle's ventilation system supplies outside air to the inside of your
vehicle when it
is moving. With the side windows closed, air will flow into
the front air inlet grilles, through the vehicle, and out the rear air exhaust
valve. Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or the air
conditioning fan is running.
Ventilation Tips

0
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or any other
obstruction (such
as leaves). The heater and defroster will work far
better, reducingthe chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the blower fan to
HI for
a few moments before driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts
of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
You will find air vents
in the center and on
the sides of your
instrument panel.

altogether. When you close
a vent, it will increase the flow of air coming out
of any
vents that are open.
