$e this gear to back up. NOTICE: Shifting to “R’ (Reverse) while your vehicle is moving forward could damage your transmission. Shift to “ R ’ only after your vehicle is stopped.

To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice or sand without damaging your transmission, see “Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow, If You’re’’ in the Index.

N (Neutral)

In this position, your engine doesn’t connect with the wheels. To restart when you’re already moving, use “N” (Neutral) only. Also, use “N” when your vehicle is being towed.

NOTICE: Damage to your transmission caused by shifting out of “P’ (Park) or “ N ’ (Neutral) with the engine racing isn’t covered by your warranty.

@J Automatic Overdrive

This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you’re: - Going less than about 35 mph

(56 km/h), push your accelerator pedal about halfway down.

- Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or

more, push the accelerator all the way down.

You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power.

D (Third Gear)

This is like @ , but you never go into Overdrive. Here are some times you might choose “D’ instead of @J :

When driving on hilly, winding roads When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears When going down a steep hill

NOTICE: If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid object. You could damage your transmission. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transmission. Use your brakes or shift into “P” (Park) to hold your vehicle in position on a hill.

Maximum engine speed is limited to protect driveline components from improper operation.

Features and Controls

2 (Second Gear)

This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can use “2” on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on.

NOTICE: Don’t drive in “2” (Second Gear) for more than 5 miles (8 km), or at speeds over 55 mph (88 km/h), or you can damage your transmission. Use @I or “D’ as much as possible. Don’t shift into “2” unless you are going slower than 65 mph ( 105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.

0 1 (First Gear) This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy) than “2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put i~ “1,” the transmission won’t shift into firsf gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough. ... 62

Features and Controls

Your six-speed manual transmission has a feature that allows you to safely shift into “R’ (Reverse) while the vehicle is rolling (at less than 5 mph). You will be “locked-out” if you try to shift into “R’ (Reverse) while your vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph. If you have turned your ignition off and wish to park your vehicle in Reverse, you will have to move the shift lever quickly to the right, “crashing” through the high load spring and then into gear.

SKIP SHIFT

Skip Shift Light (5.7L LT1 Engine) When this light comes on, you can only shift from “1” (First) to “4” (Fourth) gear instead of “1” (First) to “2” (Second) gear. This helps you to get the best possible fuel economy. This light will come on under these conditions: 0 The engine coolant temperature is

greater than 170°F (77”C),

0 You are going 15-20 mph

(24-32 km/h), and

0 You are at 35% throttle or less.

2 (Second Gear) - Press the clutch pedal as you let up on the accelerator pedal and shift into “2.” Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the accelerator pedal. 3,4,5 and 6 (Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Gears) - Shift into “3,” “4,” “5” and “6” the same way you do for “2.” Slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the accelerator pedal. To Stop - Let up on the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal. Just before the vehicle stops, press the clutch pedal and the brake pedal, and shift to “Neutral.” Neutral - Use this position when you start or idle your engine. R (Reverse) - To back up, press down the clutch pedal and shift into “R.” Let up on the clutch pedal slowly while pressing the accelerator pedal. If you shift from “6” into “R,” the shift lever must be first placed in the “Neutral” position centered between “2” and “3” prior to shifting into “R.”

Features and Controls

Leaving Your Vehicle with the Engine Running (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)

1. Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot and set the parking brake. 2. Move the shift lever into “ P ’ (Park)

position like this:

Hold in the button on the lever, and push the lever all the way toward the front of your vehicle. 3. Move the ignition key to “LOCK.” 4. Remove the key and take it with you.

If you can walk away from your vehicle with the ignition key in your hand, your vehicle is in “P” (Park).

... 68

If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your vehicle is in “ P ’ (Park) and your parking brake is firmly set before you leave it. After you’ve moved the shift lever into the “ P ’ (Park) position, hold the regular brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift lever away from “P” (Park) without first pushing the button. If you

can, it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully locked into “P’ (Park). Torque f Ock (AUTOMATIC TRANS#lSSlON) If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into “P” (Park) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull the shift lever out of “P” (Park). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift into “P” (Park) properly before you leave the driver’s seat. To find out how, see “Shifting Into “P” (Park)” in the Index. When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of “P” (Park) BEFORE you release the parking brake. If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some of the pressure From the transmission, so you can pull the shift lever out of “P” (Park).

Shifting out of P (Park) [AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) Your Chevrolet has a brake-transmission shift interlock. You have to fully apply your regular brake before you can shift from “ P ’ (Park) when the ignition is in the “Run” position. See “Automatic Transmission” in the Index. If you cannot shift out of “P’ (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever - push the shift lever all the way into “ P ’ (Park) and release the shift lever button as you maintain brake application. Then press

the shift lever button and move the shift lever into the gear you wish. If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t shift out of “P” (Park), try this: 1. Turn the key to ‘bOff.” 2. Apply and hold the brake until the end

of Step 4.

3. Shift to “N” (Neutral). 4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the

drive gear you want.

5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you

can.

Parking Your Vehicle (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) Before you get out of your vehicle, put your manual transmission in “R” (Reverse) and firmly apply the parking brake. If your vehicle is equipped to tow a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.

A CAUTION:

If you leave your Cruise Control switch on when you’re not using Cruise, you might hit a button and go into Cruise when you don’t want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the Cruise Control switch “OFF” until you want to use it.

Features and Controls

A CAUTION:

Cruise Control can be dangerous where you can’t drive safely at a steady speed. So, don’t use your Cruise Control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise Control can be dangerous on slipperly roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel spinning, and you could lose control. Don’t use Cruise Control on slippery roads.

To Set Cruise Control 1. Move the Cruise Control switch to

“ON.”

bise Control (OPTION) Vith Cruise Control, you can maintain a peed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or lore without keeping your foot on the ccelerator. This can really help on long ips.

Features and Controls

To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: 1.

Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

2.

lere’s the second way to go to a higher peed:

Move the Cruise switch from “ON” to “R/A.” Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to “WA” for less than half a second and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.

. .78

Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control speed you set earlier.

Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise Control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use Cruise Control on steep hills.

To Get Out of Cruise Control There are several ways to turn off the Cruise Control: 1. Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a manual transmission;

2. Move the Cruise switch to “OFF.”

To Erase Speed Memory When you turn off the Cruise Control or the ignition, your Cruise Control set speel memory is erased.

ASR and Cruise Control If your ASR system engages while your Cruise Control is set, Cruise Control will disengage. Your speed will be set in memory, though. When Cruise Control engages again, use “WAY’ (Resume/Accelerate) to go back to your set speed.

Operation of Lights

4lthough your vehicle’s lighting system :headlights, parking lights, fog lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all ipplicable federal lighting requirements, Zertain states and provinces may apply :heir own lighting regulations that may require special attention before you >perate these lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate fog lamps only when your lower beam headlights are also m , or that headlights be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parkmg lights, especially at dawn or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state or provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.

UNLEADED FUEL ONLY \ I

U.S. shown, Canada similar

You may wonder what happens if your Chevrolet needs a new odometer installed. If possible, the new one has to be set to the same reading the old one had. If it can't be, then it's set at zero, but a label on the driver's door must show the old reading and when the new one was installed.

Instrument Panel and Cluster

Your instrument cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You'll know how fast you're going, about how much fuel you have left and many other things you'll need to know to drive safely and economically.

Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kmh). Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the U.S.) or kilometers (used in Canada). Your Chevrolet's odometer is tamper-resistant. If you can see silver lines between the numbers, probably someone has tried to turn it back. The numbers may not be true.

... 92

When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.

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 hob.

Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).

NOTICE: Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red area, or engine damage may occur.

Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators

This section describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them. Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.

Fuel Gage Your fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your tank. The fuel gage works only when the ignition switch is in the “Run” position. When the gage pointer first indicates “E,” you still have a little fuel left (about one to two gallons), but you need to get more right away. Here are four concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All these situations are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.

... 94

At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads “E” It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage reads. For example, the gage reads 1/2 full, but it took more (or less) than half of the tank’s capacity to fill it. The gage moves a little when you turn, stop or speed up. When you turn the engine off, the gage doesn’t go back to “E.”

BRAKE

I I

Brake System Warning Light Your Chevrolet’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 as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, or if the anti-lock brake system warning light is flashing, have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light” and “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)

The brake system warning light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and it will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you have a brake problem.

A CAUTION:

Your brake system may not be work- ing properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to an accident. If &e light is still on or if the anti-lock brake system warning light is flashing after you’ve pulled off the road and stopped care- fully, have the vehicle towed for ser- vice.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light With anti-lock, this light will come on when you start your engine and it will stay on for three seconds. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come on, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If the light flashes when you’re driving, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your regular brakes. Pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. Have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)

Or, if the light comes on and stays on when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your Chevrolet needs service. If the light is on but not flashing and the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes.

If you have the traction control system, this light will also come on when the system is limiting wheel spin. Slippery road conditions may exist if this light comes on, so adjust your driving accordingly. The light will stay on for a few seconds after the anti-lock system stops adjusting brake pressure or the traction control system stops limiting wheel spin. The “LOW TRAC” light also comes on for three seconds, as a bulb check, when the engine is started.

Your Delco@ audio system has been jesigned to operate easily and give years If listening pleasure. But you will get the nost enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your Delco@ system can do and how to operate 111 its controls, to be sure you’re getting :he most out of the advanced engineering .hat went into it. :f you have power door locks, your I‘ qehicle has a feature called Retained 4ccessory Power (RAP). With RAP you :an play your audio system even after the ignition is off. See the Index under “Retained Accessory Power.”

NOTICE: Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle - like a tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio - be sure you can add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or other systems, and even damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added improperly. So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units.

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, reducin the chance of fogging the inside of your windows. When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the fan control knob to the right for a few moments before driving off. This helps clear the intakc ducts of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of your windows. Keep the air path under the front seat: clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
