CHEVROLET S10 2002 2.G Owners Manual

2-51 Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when
you remove the key from the ignition to help you see
while exiting the vehicle. These lights will stay on for a
short period of time and then will go out, if the DOME
OVERRIDE button is in the out position.
Front Map Lamps (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has front map lamps, they are located
on the inside rearview mirror. They will automatically
come on for approximately 40 seconds when the doors
are unlocked with the keyless entry transmitter (if
equipped) or until the ignition key is turned to RUN
or ACCESSORY. The lamps will also stay on for
approximately 40 seconds after you exit the vehicle,
unless you lock the doors with the keyless entry
transmitter.
You can also turn the lamps on and off by pressing the
switch near each lamp.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open any door.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by turning the
thumbwheel, located next to the exterior lamps control,
all the way up to the second notch. In this position, the
dome lamps will remain on whether a door is opened or
closed.
You can use the DOME OVERRIDE button, located
below the exterior lamps control, to set the dome lamps
to come on automatically when any door is opened, or to
remain off. To turn the lamps off, press the button in.
With the button in, the dome lamps will remain off when
any door is opened. To return the lamps to automatic
operation, press the button again and return it to the out
position. With the button in this position, the dome
lamps will come on when you open any door. This will
override the illuminated entry feature, unless you use
your keyless entry transmitter (if equipped) to unlock
the vehicle.

2-52 Battery Rundown Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, vanity,
reading, glove box, cargo and underhood lamps if they
are left on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is
off. This will keep your battery from running down.
If the battery rundown protection shuts off the interior
lamps, it may be necessary to do one of the following to
return it to normal operation:

Shut off all lamps and close all doors, or

turn the ignition key to RUN.
Mirrors
Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror
Pull the tab under the mirror toward you to reduce glare
from headlamps behind you after dark. Push the tab
away from you for normal daytime operation.
Electrochromic Day/Night Inside Rearview
Mirror (If Equipped)
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.

2-53
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when the glare is reduced. The mirror will also
return to its clear daytime state when the vehicle is put
into REVERSE (R).
Press the AUTO button at the base of the mirror to turn
on the automatic feature. The button has an indicator
light to show it is on. Press the OFF button to turn the
automatic feature off.
Time Delay
The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary switching from the night back to
the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of
the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.Cleaning the Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.
Outside Manual Adjust Mirror
Adjust your outside mirrors so you can see a little of the
side of your vehicle and the area beside and behind your
vehicle from a comfortable driving position.
You can fold them in before entering a car wash. Pull
the mirrors in toward the vehicle. Push the mirrors back
out when finished.

2-54 Power Remote Control Rearview Mirrors
(If Equipped)
These controls are located
on the driver's door armrest.
Move the selector switch to the left or right to choose
the mirror, then use the arrows located on the four
-way
control pad to adjust the mirror.
Convex Outside Mirror
A convex mirror's surface is curved so you can see more
from the driver's seat.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really
are. If you cut too sharply into the right or left
lane, you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.

2-55 Heated Outside Rearview Mirrors
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be
equipped with heated
outside rearview mirrors.
The heated mirror button is located to the lower right of
the mode knob on the climate control system. The
button has an indicator light to indicate if the heated
mirror feature is on or off.
When the heated mirror feature is turned on, the
defogger will warm the mirrors to help clear them of
snow or condensation. The heated mirror feature will
turn off automatically when the mirror is clear.

glove box and lower the door. The glove box should not be
open while driving.

compartment for a garage door opener, a temperature
and compass display and a storage compartment
for sunglasses.

opener.
To install the garage door opener, first open the
compartment door by pressing the latch forward.
Peel the protective
backing from the hook
and loop patch.
Press it firmly to the back of your garage door opener, as
close to the center of the opener as possible.

2-57

the console door button and press the opener firmly
into place.
The pegs inside the
compartment door are used
to make sure the button on
the compartment door will
contact the control button
on the garage door opener.

operates with the compartment door closed when you
press the button.
Now, with the compartment
door closed, press the
button again to make sure
the garage door opener
operates properly.
With the garage door opener positioned properly and the
right number of pegs in place, you should only have to
press the button slightly to operate the opener. Adjust
the position of the garage door opener and add or
remove pegs, as needed, until the opener operates
properly.

2-58
Temperature and Compass Display
The outside air temperature and the compass are
displayed at the front of the overhead console. The
control buttons are located to the left of the display.Turn the display on or off by pressing the ON/OFF
button. Display the temperature in either degrees
Fahrenheit (English) or Celsius (metric) by pressing the
US/MET button.
Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on.
If the outside temperature is 37
F (3
C) or lower when
you turn on the ignition, the word ICE will appear on
the display. This is a warning to the driver that road
conditions may be icy, and that appropriate precautions
should be taken.
The compass is self
-calibrating, so it does not need to be
manually set. However, when your vehicle is new, the
compass may function erratically. If it does, CAL
(Calibration) will appear on the display. To correct the
problem, drive in a complete 360
circle three times,
and the compass will function normally.

2-59
Variance is the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to set
the variance for your particular location:1. Find your location on the zone map. Record your
zone number.
2. Press and hold both the ON/OFF and the US/MET
buttons. The display will go off.
3. After five seconds, VAR CAL (Variance Calibration)
will appear on the display. When it does, release both
buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
the display.
5. Press ON/OFF to enter your zone number. Your
variance is now set.

the compartment. There is also a lift
-out storage tray in
