84 Driving and Operating
A warning triangle is stored in the rear
compartment at the time of vehicle
delivery.
Consult your CHEVROLET retailer for
inspection and repair.
Caution
Continuing to drive a vehicle with
problems may cause accidents.
If the engine does not start
If the ignition switch is in the START
position but the starter motor does not
work, check the battery for charge,
battery terminals are connected properly
and concern fuse is blown out.
If the starter motor works but the engine
does not start, check the oil level, the
fuel filter, the fuel pump, the associated
wiring, etc.
The fuel pump can be checked by
listening to the sound when the ignition
switch is turned ON.
Measures to be taken when the
engine is over heated
While driving, if a sudden drop in
power or the temperature warning light
comes on, park the vehicle in a safe
place and take the following measures.
—
Run the engine at idle and then
move the gear shift lever into
neutral.
—
Apply the parking brake.
—
Turn off the air conditioning.
—
Open the hood to ventilate the
engine compartment.
Warning
If steam or coolant escapes from the
engine, do not open the hood,
otherwise you may be scalded by the
steam or coolant.
—
If the coolant level does not drop
while the engine is idling, switch
off the engine to let it cool down.
If the cooling fan does not work,
switch off the engine to let it cool
down.
—
If the coolant level is too low, open
the cap and fill the coolant tank with
coolant very slowly.
Caution
Sudden filling of coolant into an over
heated engine will damage the
engine.
Caution
Do not open the coolant cap when the
engine is hot else steam or coolant
will escape and scald your face or
body. Wait until the engine is
completely cooled before opening
the coolant cap.
Cover the coolant cap with a cloth,
open it a little (1/2 turn) at first, and
do not open it completely until the
pressure inside has been released.
