What Kind of Oil to Use: Beginning midyear 1993, oils of the proper quality for your vehicle will be identified with this new “starburst” symbol. The “starburst” symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API), and is preferred for use in your gasoline engine. You should look for this on the front of the oil container, and use only oils that display this new symbol. You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your vehicle, as shown in the following chart.

These three things are usually included in a doughnut shaped logo (symbol) on most containers. If you cannot find oils with the “starburst” symbol, you should look for oils with the doughnut shaped symbol, containing the three things noted above.


NOTICE: If you use oils that do not have either the “starburst” symbol or an API SH or SG designation, you can cause engine damage not covered by your warranty.


GM Goodwrench@ oil (in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the requirements for your vehicle. Engine Oil Additives: Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Chevrolet dealer is ready to advise if you think something should be added.


What to Do with Used Oil: Did you know that used engine oil contains elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.) Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center for help.


When to Change Engine Oil: See if any one of these is true for you: 0 Most trips are less than 4 miles


(6 km). It’s below freezing outside and most trips are less than 10 miles (1 6 km). The engine is at low speed most of the time (as in door-to-door delivery, or in stop-and-go traffic).


0 You tow a trailer often. @ Most trips are through dusty places. If any one of these is true for your vehiclej then you need to change your oil and filter every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months - whichever comes first. If none of them is true, change the oil every 7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months - whichever comes first. Change the filter at the first oil change and at every other oil change after that.


Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block Heater): An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in very cold weather, 0” F (- 18 “C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option, see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.

Should the fluid level be low during a cold check, you must perform a hot check before adding fluid This will give you a more accurate reading of the fluid level. To check the fluid hot or cold:


Park your vehicle on a level place. With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever in “ P ’ (Park). With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift lever through each gear range, pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then, position the shift lever in “F’” (Park). Let the engine run at idle for three minutes or more.


Service and Appearance Care Automatic Transmission FIuid


When to Check and Change: A good time to check your automatic transmission fluid level is when the engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.


How to Check: Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this done at a Chevrolet dealership Service Department. If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you could get a false reading on the dipstick.


NOTICE: Too much or too little fluid can dam- age your transmission. Too much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts or exhaust system, starting a fire. Be sure to get an accurate reading if you check your transmission fluid.


. . ,194


Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transmission fluid level if you have been driving:


When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32°C).


0 At high speed for quite a while. 0 In heavy traffic - especially in hot


weather. While pulling a trailer.


To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating temperature, which is 180°F to 200°F (82°C to 93°C). To check transmission fluid hot: Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles (24 km) when outside temperatures are above 50°F (10°C). If it’s colder than 50°F (lO”C), drive the vehicle in “D” (Third Gear) until the engine temperature gage moves and then remains steady for ten minutes. Then follow the hot check procedures. To check transmission fluid cold: A cold check is made after the vehicle has been sitting for eight hours or more with the engine off and is used only as a reference. Let the engine run at idle for five minutes if outside temperatures are 50°F ( 10°C) or more. If it’s colder than 50°F (lO”C), you may have to idle the engine longer.


3.4L L32 (Code S)


5.7L LT1 (Code P)


Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these steps: 1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a


clean rag or paper towel.


2. Push it back in all the way, wait three


seconds and then pull it back out again.


3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower level. The fluid level must be in the “COLD’ area for a cold check or in the “HOT” area or cross-hatched area for a hot check. 4. If the fluid level is in the acceptable


range, push the dipstick back in all the way.


How to Add Fluid: Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transmission fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.


195 ...


Service and Appearance Care If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the level up to the “COLD’ area for a cold check or the “HOT” area for a hot check. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than a pint. Don’t overfill. We recommend you use only fluid labeled DEXRON@-III or DEXRON@-IIE, because fluids with that label are made especially for your automatic transmission. Dama e caused by fluid other than DEXRON -111 or DEXRON@-IIE is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.


Too much or too little fluid can damage your transmission. Too much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts or exhaust system, starting a fire. Be sure to get an accurate reading if you check your transmission fluid.


How to Add Fluid: Here’s how to add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. 1. Remove the filler plug. 2. Add fluid at the filler plug hole. Add only enough fluid to bring the fluid level up to the bottom of the filler plug hole.


3. Install the filler plug. Be sure the plug


is fully seated.


Check the fluid level only when your engine is off, the vehicle is parked on a level place and the transmission is cool enough for you to rest your fingers on the transmission case.


Then, follow these steps: 1. Remove the filler plug. 2. Check that the lubricant level is up to


the bottom of the filler plug hole. 3. If the fluid level is good, install the plug and be sure it is fully seated. If the fluid level is low, add more fluid as described in the next steps.


After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under “How to Check.” When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all the way.


Manual Transmission Fluid How to Check: Because this operation can be difficult, you may choose to have this done at a Chevrolet dealership Service Department. If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you could get a false reading. ,. 196


When to Check and What to Use: Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often you should check the fluid level in your clutch master cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See “Owner Checks and Services” and “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.


How to Check: The proper fluid should be added if the level is below the “STEP” mark on the reservoir. See the instructions on the reservoir cap. Rear Axle


When to Check and Change Lubricant: Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to check the lubricant and when to change it. See “Periodic Maintenance Inspections’’ in the Index.


How to Check Lubricant: If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole, you’ll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.


What to Use Standard Differential Use Axle Lubricant (GM Part No. 105227 1 ) or SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear lubricant. Limited-Slip Differential To add lubricant when the level is low, use Axle Lubricant (GM Part No. 105227 1 ) or SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear lubricant. To completely refill after draining, add 4 ounces (1 18 ml) of Limited-Slip Differential Additive (GM Part No. 1052358). Then fill to the bottom of the filler plug hole with Axle Lubricant (GM Part No. 12345977) or SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear lubricant.


Hydraulic Clutch The hydraulic clutch in your vehicle is self-adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is filled with hydraulic clutch fluid. It isn’t a good idea to “top off’ your clutch fluid. Adding fluid won’t correct a leak. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired.


197 ...


NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost wouldn’t be covered by your war- ranty. Too much water in the mix can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.


If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.


Service and Appearance Care Engine Coolant The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating or if you need to add coolant to your radiator, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index. The proper coolant for your Chevrolet will: 0 Give freezing protection down to


-34°F (-37°C). Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128°C). Protect against rust and corrosion.


0 Help keep the proper engine


temperature. Let the warning lights work as they should.


What to Use: Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half antifreeze that meets “GM Specification 1825M,” which won’t damage aluminum parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM Specification 1825M with a complete coolant flush and refill. . . . I 9 8


Adding Coolant To Check Coolant: When your engine is cold, check the dipstick on the cap of the coolant recovery tank. The coolant level should be at “COLD,” or a little higher. When your engine is warm, the level on the dipstick should be up to “HOT,” or a little higher.


If you have the 5.7L LTI (Code P) engine and this light comes on, it means you’re low on engine coolant.


To Add Coolant to the Recovery Tank: If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant recovery tank, but only when your engine is cool. If the tank is very low or empty, also add coolant to the radiator, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index for information.


199 ...


Service and Appearance Care e\ CAUTION:


Radiator Pressure Cap (All Engines)


NOTICE: Your radiator cap is a 18 psi (1 24 kPa) pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.


When you replace your radiator pressure cap, an AC@ cap is recommended.


Thermostat Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant reaches a preset temperature. When you replace your thermostat, an AC@ thermostat is recommended.

3.4L L32 (Code S)


Power Steering Fluid


How to Check Power Steering Fluid: Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.


Turning the radiator pressure cap when the engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly. Never turn the pressure cap - even a little - when the engine and radiator are hot.


Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, bul be careful not to spill it.


A CAUTION:


You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol, and it will bum if the engine parts are hot enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.

Service and Appearance Care


NOTICE: When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adding water. Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid. Fill your washer fluid tank only 314 full when it’s very cold. This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it is completely full. Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It can damage your washer system and paint.


So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off’ your brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid when your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid when you get new brake linings. You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.


3rake Masfer Cylinder ‘our brake master cylinder is here. It is dled with DOT-3 brake fluid. fi ‘here are only two reasons why the brake luid level in your master cylinder might fl o down.

when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).


NOTICE: 0 Don’t let someone put in the


wrong kind of fluid. For example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system parts so badly that they’ll have to be replaced.


0 Brake fluid can damage paint, so be careful not to spill brake fluid on your vehicle. If you do, wash it off immediately. See ”Appearance Care” in the Index.


Brake Wear Unless you have the four-wheel disc brake option, your Chevrolet has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound may come and go or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except


A CAUTION:


The brake wear warning sound means that sooner or later your brakes won’t work well. That could lead to an accident. When you hear the brake wear warning sound, have your vehicle serviced.


NOTICE: Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in costly brake repair.


Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something is wrong with your brakes.


203.


To Check Brake Fluid: You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. Just look at the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be above the plastic seam in the reservoir. If it isn’t, have your brake system checked to see if there is a leak. After work is done on the brake hydraulic system, make sure the level is above the plastic seam, near the base of the filler neck.


What to Add: When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid - such as Delco- Supreme 1 l @ (GM Part No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid from a sealed


Battery Every new Chevrolet has a Delco Freedoms battery. You never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedoma battery. Get one that has the catalog number shown on the original battery’s label.


Vehicle Storage If you’re not going to drivi your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the black, negative (-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery from running down.


Service and Appevmance Care If you have rear drum brakes, they don’t have wear indicators, but if you ever hear a rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected. Also, the rear brake drums should be removed and inspected each time the tires are removed for rotation or changing. When you have the front brakes replaced, have the rear brakes inspected, too. Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.


Brake Pedal Travel See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble.


Brake Adjustment Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear. If you rarely make a moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes might not adjust correctly. If you drive in that way, then - very carefully - make a few moderate brake stops about every 1,000 miles ( I 600 km), so your brakes will adjust properly.


. . .204


If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your rear drum brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and firmly applying the brakes a few times.


Replacing Brake System Parts The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality GM brake parts in them, as your Chevrolet does when it is new. When you replace parts of your braking system - for example, when your brake linings wear down and you have to have new ones put in - be sure you get new genuine GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly. For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes can change, for the worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect can change in many other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.


Contacr your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer storage periods.

I Tires


re don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made by a ading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire manufacturers and .eir warranties are delivered with every new Chevrolet. If your spare tire is a fferent brand than your road tires, you will have a tire warranty folder from each ’ these manufacturers.


. . .214


NOTICE: Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t have enough air (underinflation) you can get: 0 Too much flexing


Too much heat Tire overloading


0 Bad wear 0 Bad handling


Bad fuel economy.


If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get: 0 Unusual wear Bad handling Rough ride Needless damage from road hazards.


Inflation - Tire Pressure


The Tire-Loading Information label which is on the driver’s door shows the 2orrect inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.


[f your vehicle is equipped with P245/50ZR16 tires and you’ll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph [ 160 km/h) where it is legal, raise the “cold” inflation pressure of each tire to 35 psi (240 @a). When you end this very high speed driving, reduce the “cold” inflation pressures to those listed on the Tire Loading Information label.

Tire Inspection and Rotation To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index. [f you don’t have P245/50ZR16 size tires use the rotation pattern shown above for your size tires.


f you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they nust roll in a certain direction for the best werall performance. The direction is hown by an arrow on both sidewalls. 3ecause these tires are directional, they hould be rotated as shown in the :xample above. These tires should only ,e moved from front to rear and rear to ront on the same side of the vehicle. ifter the tires have been rotated, adjust he front and rear inflation pressure as .hown on the Tire-Loading Information abel. Make certain that all wheel nuts are u-operly tightened. See “Wheel Nut rorque” in the Index.


When to Check: Check your tires once a month or more. Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi (420 kPa). How to Check: Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the pressure, especially if you have radial tires - which may look properly inflated even if they’re underinflated. If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.


. . .216


The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired well because of the size or location of the damage.


Buying New Tires To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading Information label. The tires installed on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are designed to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride and other things during normal service on your vehicle. If your tires have an all-season tread design, the TPC number will be followed by a “MS” (for mud and snow). If you ever replace your tires with those not having a TPC Spec number, make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.


217 ...


When It’s Time for New Tires One way to tell when it’s time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining. You need a new tire if: 0 You can see the indicators at three or


more places around the tire.


0 You can see cord or fabric showing


through the tire’s rubber. The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric.


0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split.


Service and Appearance Care


example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.


Traction - A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.


Temperature - A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C , representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained


high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. Those grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires. While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use on General Motors vehicles. All passenger type (P Metric) tires must conform to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.


Uniform Tire Quality Grading The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.)


Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. Fa . . .218


[f you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace them Drily with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your Chevrolet model.


NOTICE: The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer cal- ibration, headlight aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance to the body and chassis.


Used Replacement Wheels


Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance. In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be rebalanced.


Wheel Replacement Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the wheel leaks air out, replace it (except some aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your Chevrolet dealer if any of these conditions exist. Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need. Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter, width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.

Service and Appearance Care rire Chains


NOTICE: If your Chevrolet has P235/55R16 or P245/50ZR16 size tires, don’t use tire chains; they can damage your vehicle. If you have other tires, use tire chains only when you must. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains that are the proper size for your tires. Install them on the rear tires and tighten them as tightly as possible with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions. If you can hear the chains contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten them. If the contact continues, slow down until it stops. Driving too fast with chains on will damage your vehicle.

Cleaning the lnside of Your Chevrolet Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl or leather with a clean, damp cloth. Your Chevrolet dealer has two GM cleaners - a solvent-type spot lifter and a foam-type powdered cleaner. They will clean normal spots and stains very well. Do not use them on vinyl or leather. Here are some cleaning tips: 0 Always read the instructions on the


cleaner label. Clean up stains as soon as you can - before they set.


0 Use a clean cloth or sponge, and


change to a clean area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are stubborn.


0 Use solvent-type cleaners in a


well-ventilated area only. If you use them, don’t saturate the stained area. If a ring forms after spot cleaning, clean the entire area immediately or it will set.


Using Foam-Type Cleaner on Fabric Vacuum and brush the area to remove any loose dirt. Always clean a whole trim panel or section. Mask surrounding trim along stitch or welt lines. Mix Multi-Purpose Powdered Cleaner following the directions on the container label. Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge. Don’t saturate the material. Don’t rub it roughly. As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a sponge to remove the suds. Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge. Wipe off what’s left with a slightly damp paper towel or cloth. Then dry it immediately with a blow dryer or a heat lamp.


I NOTICE: I Be careful with a hair dryer or heat


lamp. You could scorch


the fabric.


Wipe with a clean cloth.


Using Solvent-’1[Sipe Cleaner on Fabric First, see if you have to use solvent-type :leaner at all. Some spots and stains will :lean off better with just water and mild ;oap. If you need to use a solvent:


Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths (preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside of the stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing to a clean section of the cloth. When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with an air hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See the previous NOTICE.)

Service and Appearance Care Fabric Protection Your Chevrolet has upholstery and carpet that has been treated with Scothgardm Fabric Protector, a 3M product. Scotchgard- protects fabric by repelling oil and water, which are the carriers of most stains. Even with this protection, you still need to clean your upholstery and carpet often to keep it looking new. Further information on cleaning is available by calling 1-800-433-3296 (in Minnesota, 1-800-642-6 167).


Non-greasy stains: Such as catsup, coffee (black), egg, fruit, fruit juice, milk, soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine and blood. 0 Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area with cool water.


0 If a stain remains, follow the


foam-type instructions above.


0 If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit


or urine, treat the area with a waterbaking soda solution: 1 teaspoon ( 5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water.


Special Cleaning Problems Greasy or oily stains: Such as grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar and asphalt.


Carefully scrape off excess stain. Follow the solvent-type instructions described earlier. Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle seat fabric. They should be removed as soon as possible. Be careful, because the cleaner will dissolve them and may cause them to spread.


0 If needed, clean lightly with


solvent-type cleaner.


Combination stains: Such as canay, ice cream, mayonnaise, chili sauce and unknown stains.


Carefully scrape off excess stain, then clean with cool water and allow to dry.


0 If a stain remains, clean it with


solvent-type cleaner.


Cleaning Vinyl Use warm water and a clean cloth. 0 Rub with a clean, damp cloth to


remove dirt. You may have to do it more than once.


. . .222


Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if you don’t get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth and solvent-type vinyl cleaner.


Cleaning Leather Use a soft cloth with lukewarn water and a mild soap or saddle soap.


For stubborn stains, use a mild solution of 10% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and 90% water. Never use oils, varnishes, solvent-based or abrasive cleaners, furntiure polish or shoe polish on leather. Soiled leather should be cleaned immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into finish, it can harm the leather.


Cleaning the Top of the Instrument Panel Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones or waxes may cause annoying reflections in the windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions.


Care of Safety Belts Keep belts clean and dry.


A CAUTION:


Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If YOU do, it may severely weaken them. In a crash they might not be able to provide adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and lukewarm water.


Glass Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films. Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary license should not be attached across the defogger grid.


Cleaning the Outside of the Windshield and Wiper Blades If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the blade or windshield. Clean the outside of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@ (GM Part No. 10500 1 1 ). The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water. Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water. Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn.


Cleaning Twin Lift-off Roof Panels Special care is necessary when cleaning, removing and/or storing the roof panels. Flush with water to remove dust and dirt, then dry the panels. Clean the panels with GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner. Leave the cleaner on the panel for one


minute, then wipe the panel with a soft, lint-free cloth.


0 Don’t use abrasive cleaning materials. Cleaning the Outside of Your Chevrolet The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss retention and durability.


Washing Your Vehicle The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm or cold water. Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild-detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that are petroleum based, or contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or a 100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting. High pressure car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.

Cleaning Your Convertible Top


Service and Appearance Care 1 Finish Care Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Chevrolet may be necessary to remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and Maintenance Materials” in the Index.) Your Chevrolet has a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat.Always use waxes and polishes that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoatklearcoat paint finish.


NOTICE: When using an automatic car wash, set your heating or cooling system to “VENT” with the fan speed set to the second highest speed. This will prevent high pressure water from entering around your top.


Your convertible top should be cleaned often. Use a mild soap, lukewarm water and a soft brush. Don’t use any harsh cleaners or bleaching agents on the top. They can damage the material. When the top is really dirty, use a mild foam-type cleaner. Use a cloth or sponge to remove the dirt. Thoroughly rinse the top and dry it before lowering it. A damp top causes wrinkles.


Aluminum Wheels (If So Equipped) Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted surface of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, or other


NOTICE: Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a basecoatklearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.


. . .224


abrasive cleaners on them because you could damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied.


NOTICE: If you have aluminum wheels, don’t use an automatic car wash that has hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take off the protective coating.


Tires Your Chevrolet dealer has a GM White Sidewall Tire Cleaner. You can use a stiff brush with the cleaner. When applying a tire dressing always takt care to wipe off any overspray or splash from painted surfaces. Petroleum-based products may damage the paint finish.


Chemical Paint Spotting Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint surface. Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Chevrolet will repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase, whichever comes first.


Weatherstrips Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent application may be required. (See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.)


Sheet Metal Damage If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion material to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection.


Foreign Material Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain on painted surfaces. Use cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces to remove foreign matter.


Finish Damage Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.


Underbody Maintenance Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection. At least every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this for you.

This is the legal identifier for your Chevrolet. It appears on a plate in the front corner of the instrument panel, on the driver’s side. You can see it if you look through the windshield from outside your vehicle. The VIN also appears on the Vehicle Certification and Service Parts labels and the certificates of title and registration.


Engine Identification The eighth character in your VIN is the engine code. This code will help you identify your engine, specifications, and replacement parts.


Service and Appearance Care


Fuses and Circuit Breakers


The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. There are two fuse centers on your vehicle. One is in the left side of your instrument panel.


The other is in the engine compartment. Open the cover on either of the boxes to expose the fuses. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the correct size. If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can borrow one of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that you car get along without - like the radio or cigarette lighter - and use its fuse, if it i the size you need. Replace it as soon as you can.


. . .228


Headlights The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker. An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right away.


Windshield Wipers The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.


Power Windows and Other Power Options Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
