2002 Chevrolet Blazer Owners Manual

D Avoiding steep uphill grades. D If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of

cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible.

If the light stops flashing and remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light continues to flash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park your vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least 10 seconds and restart the engine. If the light remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light is still flashing, follow the previous steps, and drive the vehicle to your dealer or qualified service center for service.

If the Light Is On Steady You may be able to correct the emission system malfunction by considering the following: Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle? If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully install the cap. See “Filling Your Tank” in the Index. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off. Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water? If so, your electrical system may be wet. The condition will usually be corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off.

2-94

Have you recently changed brands of fuel? If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See “Fuel” in the Index. Poor fuel quality will cause your engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You may notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put the vehicle into gear, misfiring, hesitation on acceleration or stumbling on acceleration. (These conditions may go away once the engine is warmed up.) This will be detected by the system and cause the light to turn on. If you experience one or more of these conditions, change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. If none of the above steps have made the light turn off, have your dealer or qualified service center check the vehicle. Your dealer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical problems that may have developed.

Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or may begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things you need to know in order to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the SERVICE ENGINE SOON or CHECK ENGINE light is on or not working properly. Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if you have recently replaced your battery or if your battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This may take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, see your dealer or qualified service center to prepare the vehicle for inspection.

Oil Pressure Gage

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.

United States

Canada

NOTICE:

The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is running. Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in kPa (kilopascals).

Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be costly and is not covered by your warranty.

Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range. A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a dangerously low oil level or other problems causing low oil pressure.

2-96

Security Light

This light will come on briefly when you turn the key toward START. The light will stay on until the engine starts.

Service Four-Wheel-Drive Warning Light (If Equipped)

This light should come on briefly when you turn on the ignition, as a check to show you it is working.

If the light flashes, the PasslockR system has entered a tamper mode. If the vehicle fails to start, see “Passlock” in the Index. If the light comes on continuously while driving and stays on, there may be a problem with the Passlock system. Your vehicle will not be protected by Passlock, and you should see your dealer. Also, see “Content Theft-Deterrent” in the Index for additional information regarding the SECURITY light.

The SERVICE 4WD light comes on to indicate that there may be a problem with the drive system and service is required. Malfunctions can be indicated by the system before any problem is apparent, which may prevent serious damage to the vehicle. This system is also designed to assist your service technician in correctly diagnosing a malfunction.

2-97

Tow/Haul Mode Light (If Equipped)

Check Gages Light

This light should come on when the tow/haul mode has been selected.

The CHECK GAGES light will come on briefly when you are starting the engine.

For more information, see “Tow/Haul Mode” in the Index.

If the light comes on and stays on while you are driving, check your coolant temperature and engine oil pressure gages to see if they are in the warning zones. Gate Ajar Light

If this light comes on, your endgate or liftglass is ajar. Try closing the endgate or liftglass again. Never drive with the endgate or liftglass even partially open.

2-98

Fuel Gage

United States

Canada

When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have remaining.

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage: D At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the

gage reads full.

D 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.

D The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or

speed up.

D The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn

off the ignition.

2-99

Low Fuel Light

The LOW FUEL light will come on briefly when you are starting the engine.

This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel. To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. See “Fuel” in the Index.

Driver Information Center (DIC) (If Equipped) This system displays the outside air temperature, compass direction and trip information in the overhead console. US/MET (United States/Metric): The US/MET (United States/metric) button allows you to switch the display between the English and metric system. MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle between three modes of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP and TRIP.

2-100

COMP/TEMP(Compass/Temperature): The display provides the outside temperature and one of eight compass readings to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing. 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, the display will toggle between the word ICE and the current temperature every eight seconds. 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, if C (Calibration) is displayed, the compass will need to be calibrated. You may also place the compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing and holding the MODE and US/MET buttons simultaneously while in the COMP/TEMP mode. After about 10 seconds, the compass will display C and you can release the buttons. Drive the vehicle in a complete 360 degree circle three times at a speed of less than 5 mph (8 km/h), and the compass will function normally. Once the calibration is complete, the display will return to a compass reading.

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 earlier in this

section. Record your zone number.

2. Press and hold both the MODE and the US/MET

buttons in the COMP/TEMP mode.

3. After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge the variation mode by displaying the current zone number. When it does, release both buttons.

4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on

the display.

5. Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your

variance is now set and the display will return to the COMP/TEMP mode.

TRIP: Once in the TRIP mode, pressing the MODE button will step you through the following TRIP functions: D AVG ECON (Average Economy): The average fuel

economy since the last reset is displayed. D INST ECON (Instantaneous Economy):

Instantaneous fuel economy for the last second of driving is displayed.

D RANGE: The display indicates the estimated

distance that can be travelled with the remaining fuel in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the last few hours of driving.

D FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset

is displayed.

D AVG SPEED (Average Speed): The average speed

since the last reset is displayed.

To reset the trip computer, press the MODE and US/MET buttons simultaneously for at least two seconds. All functions will be displayed briefly once the system is reset. Reset can only be performed in the AVG ECON, FUEL USED and AVG SPEED modes. All three modes are reset simultaneously.

Temperature Knob The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the relative temperature of the air flowing into the passenger area of your vehicle. Move the knob clockwise toward the red area for warmer air. Move the knob counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air.

Mode Knob The right knob on the control panel allows you to choose the direction of air delivery. OFF: This mode turns the system off. Some outside air will still enter the vehicle whenever the vehicle is moving forward. MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): This mode provides maximum cooling with the least amount of work. MAX A/C recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle so it cools quickly. This setting directs most of the air through the instrument panel vents and a small amount through the floor ducts.

Comfort Controls With this system, you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Standard Climate Control System

Fan Knob The knob on the left side of the climate control system control panel regulates the fan speed. To increase airflow, move the knob clockwise. To decrease airflow, move it counterclockwise.

3-2

A/C (Air Conditioning): This setting cools and dehumidifies the air entering your vehicle and directs most of the air through the instrument panel vents and a small amount through the floor ducts.

(Bi-Level Air Conditioning): This setting cools

and dehumidifies the air entering your vehicle and directs it through the floor ducts as well as the instrument panel outlets.

(Vent): This setting directs most of the air through the instrument panel outlets and a small amount through the floor outlets.

(Floor): This setting directs most of the air through the floor ducts and some air through the windshield defroster outlets.

(Blend): Airflow is divided equally between the

floor ducts and the windshield defroster outlets.

(Defrost): This setting directs most air through the windshield defroster outlets and some through the floor ducts.

Air Conditioning 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 to the left. 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 to the left. On cool but sunny days, use Bi-Level A/C to deliver warmer air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets. 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.

3-3

Heating The heater works best if you keep your windows closed while using it. On cold days, use floor mode with the temperature knob turned clockwise. Blend mode is useful in cool weather when you have fog or ice on the windshield or side windows. 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. Defogging and Defrosting On cool, humid days, use blend mode to keep the windshield and side windows clear. Use defrost mode to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extreme humid or cold conditions. Turn the temperature knob clockwise and move the fan knob toward high.

Rear Window Defogger (If Equipped)

If your vehicle has this feature, the rear window will have lines that warm the glass.

For best results, clear the window of as much snow or ice as possible before using the rear window defogger. To turn on the rear window defogger, find the button marked REAR with the defog symbol on the lower right corner of your climate control system. Press the button until the light in the button comes on, then release it. It will only work if the ignition switch is turned to RUN. Pressing the REAR button on your climate control system will also activate your heated outside mirrors (if equipped). This will help to keep ice and snow from collecting on your mirror surfaces.

3-4

The rear window defogger will stay on for five to seven minutes, then turn off. If you need additional warming time, turn it on again. You can turn the defogger off at any time by pressing the button. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals across the defogger grid on the rear window.

NOTICE:

Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.

Ventilation System For mild outside temperatures when little heating or cooling is needed, use vent mode to direct outside air through your vehicle. Airflow is through the instrument panel outlets. Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. When the vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow through by selecting any mode except max A/C and any fan speed.

You will find air outlets in the center and on the sides of your instrument panel. You can direct the airflow side-to-side by turning the thumbwheel located in the center of the vent. The vent can be tilted up and down also. To control the amount of airflow through the outlets, turn the thumbwheel below the vent.

3-5

Ventilation Tips D 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, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.

D When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the fan knob to high 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.

D Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.

Audio Systems Your audio system has been designed to operate easily and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it first.

Using RDS Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS is a system that receives data along with the audio of the FM station you are currently tuned to. You can use RDS to display program information and to control your radio. With RDS, the radio can do the following: D Seek only to stations with the types of programs you

want to listen to,

D seek to stations with traffic announcements, D receive announcements concerning local and

national emergencies, and

D receive and display messages from radio stations. RDS features are only available on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of your radio rely on receiving specific RDS information from these stations. These features will only work when the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station. When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name will appear on the display, instead of the frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for their current programming. Some stations also provide the name of the current program.

Finding RDS Stations To find RDS stations perform the following steps: 1. Push the SEEK TYPE button or turn the P-TYPE

LIST knob to display the program type list.

2. Turn the knob either clockwise or counterclockwise to select a program type. The list is alphabetical. If you select ANY TYPE your radio will seek to the first PTY available.

3. Push the SEEK TYPE button to activate search. VOL (Volume): Turn this knob clockwise to increase volume when RDS interrupts regular play. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume. DISP (Display): Press this knob to change what appears on the display while using RDS. Pressing this knob will also display an RDS station frequency or program type when the radio is on. The display options are station name, station frequency, PTY and the name of the program (if available). Pressing and holding this knob will activate the RDS default display.

SEEK TYPE and a PTY will appear on the display. Press the SEEK TYPE button and the radio will seek to the first RDS broadcaster of the selected program type. If the radio cannot find the desired program type, NONE will appear on the display and the radio will return to the last station you were listening to. AM FM (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the same program type. Press and hold AM FM for two seconds to turn alternate frequency on. AF ON will appear on the display. The radio may switch to stronger stations. Press and hold AM FM again for two seconds to turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF will appear on the display. The radio will not switch to other stations. When you turn the ignition off and then on again, the alternate frequency feature will automatically be turned on.

RDS Messages ALERT: Alert warns of national or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert announcements. ALERT! appears on the display when an alert announcement plays. When an alert announcement comes on the current radio station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. If the cassette tape or compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished. This function will only work during actual emergency broadcasts, and will not work during tests of the emergency broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all RDS stations.

disappear from the display until another new message is received. The old message can be displayed by pressing the INFO button until a new message is received or a different station is tuned to. TRAF (Traffic): Press this button to receive traffic announcements. If the current station does not broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a station that does. The traffic symbol will flash on the display. When the radio finds a station that broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. If no station is found, NO TRAF will appear on the display. Your radio can be programmed to interrupt the playback of a cassette tape, CD or FM radio by enabling the traffic interrupt feature. Press the TRAF button once to seek to an RDS station that supports the traffic interrupt feature if the current station does not. The traffic symbol will flash on the display when seeking for a station that supports traffic interrupt. When the traffic interrupt feature is on, TRAF will appear on the display.
