wiper fluid CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1994 Owners Manual

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 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.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
The windshield wiper motor is
protected from overload by a circuit breaker and a
fuse. If the motor
overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although
the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from
the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
0-
At the top of the lever
there's
a paddle with
the word
PUSH on it.
To spray washer fluid
on the windshield,
push the paddle.
Washer fluid will spray as long
as you push the paddle. When you let go of
the paddle, the wipers will continue to wipe for a few seconds and then
either stop or return
to the preset speed.
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
washer fluid level often.

For delay wiping, slide the lever under DELAY to the center of the rear
wiper control. The wiper will cycle every nine seconds.
For steady wiper action, move the slide lever all the way
to the right.
0 To wash the window, push in on the end of the lever. Window washer
fluid will continue
to spray until the lever is released. The wiper will
continue with three more wipes and then return to the setting that was
chosen before the lever was pushed.
The
rear window washer uses the same fluid bottle as the windshield
washer. If the fluid level
is low in the washer fluid bottle, you may not be
able to wash your rear window.
If you can wash your windshield, but not
your rear window, check the fluid level.
Cigarette Lighter/Ashtrays
The front ashtray is
located at the bottom
of the instrument
panel. Pull on the
bottom
of the ashtray
door to open
it.
TO use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way, and let go. When it’s
ready,
it will pop back by itself.
NOTICE:
Don’t hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand while it is
heating. If you do, it won’t be able to back away from the
~ heating element when it’s ready. That can make it overload,
damaging the lighter and the heating element.
To remove the front ashtray, pull on the front of the ashtray insert. Then
slide the insert out
of the ashtray door.

Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable
following distance. Expect to move slightly slower
at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well
in
advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not to your sense of
motion. After driving for
any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to
think you
are going slower than you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you must start when you’re
not fresh
- such as after a day’s work - don’t plan to make too many
miles that first part of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you
can easily drive
in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it serviced and maintained,
it’s ready
to go. If it needs service, have it done before starting out. Of
course, you’ll find experienced and able service experts in vehicle
dealerships all across North America. They’ll be ready and willing
to help if
you need
it.
