If you have accessory power outlets, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment. The accessory power
outlets are located below the cigarette lighter.
Just pull down from the top of the door and follow the
proper installation instructions that are included with
any electrical equipment you install.
These circuits are protected by a fuse and have
maximum current levels.
NOTICE:
When using the accessory power outlets,
maximum electrical load must not exceed
25 amps. Always turn off any electrical
equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended periods
will drain
your battery.

Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
Your odometer is tamper resistant. It will show
silver lines between the numbers if someone tries to
turn it back.
‘You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then it
must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero, and a label must be put on
the driver’s door
to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press the button near
the readout.
Tachometer (Option)
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute
(rpm).
Each tachometer has a dlrrerent limit depending on the
powertrain
in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
Normal operating range shows your engine speed during
normal driving conditions. For example, when
the
needle points to 2, it means the engine is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle will vary all the time that the engine is running.
The red warning range tells you that your engine speed
is reaching its upper limits. Don’t drive very long with
the tachometer
in the red warning range. If you have a
manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as soon as
possible.
If. you have an automatic transmission, lift
your foot off of
the accelerator pedal.
The red danger range tells you that your engine speed is
at its upper limits.
You should immediately shift to a
higher gear, or lift your foot off of the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range,
or engine damage will occur. I

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Voltmeter
‘When your engine is not
ninning, but the ignition
is
on (in the RUN position),
this gage shows your
battery’s state of charge in
DC volts. 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.
Brake System Warning Light
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. Your
vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts.
If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come
on briefly when you turn
the ignition key to RUN.
If it doesn’t come on then, BRAKE
have it fixed so it will be
ready to
warn you if there’s

The upper knob regulates the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn the knob clockwise for warmer
air. Turn the knob counterclockwise for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The lower knob allows you to choose the direction of
air delivery.
OFF: This setting turns the system off. Some outside air
will still enter the vehicle whenever the vehicle is
moving forward.
MAX NC: This setting provides maximum cooling
with the least amount of work. MAX A/C recirculates
much
of the air inside your vehicle so it cools quickly.
A/C: This setting cools the air entering your vehicle and
directs it through the instrument panel outlets.
+# BI-LEVEL A/C: Air is delivered through the heater
floor outlets
as well as the instrument panel outlets.
+e
/J VENT: This setting directs airflow through the
instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning
compressor is not working when VENT is selected.
+’ HEATER: This setting directs warmed air through
the heater floor outlets and windshield defroster outlets.

0
w.
+’ BLEND: Airflow is divided equally between the
heater floor outlet and the windshield defroster outlets.
DEFROST: This setting directs most air through
the windshield defroster
outlets and some through the
heater outlets.
Air Conditioning (Option)
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time
it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
For quick cool-down
on very hot days, use MAX A/C
with the temperature knob turned counterclockwise. This
setting should be used to keep odors and/or dust from
entering the vehicle. For normal cooling on hot days, use
A/C with the temperature knob turned counterclockwise.
On
cool but sunny days, use BI-LEVEL A/C to deliver
warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets.
If you have the “VORTEC”
4300 engine, when the air
conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice slight
changes in your vehicle’s engine speed and power. This
is normal because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor on and
off to keep the desired temperature.

Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about 10
to 40 miles ( 16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound
to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations
to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
