Chevrolet 1997 Automobile User Manual


 
Run your engine only as long
as
you
must. This saves
fuel.
When
you
run the engine, make
it
go
a
little faster
than just idle. That
is,
push the accelerator slightly. This
uses
less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged. You will need
a
well-charged battery to
restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile.
Then, shut the engine
off
and close the window almost
all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when
you
feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do it as little
as
possible. Preserve the
fuel
as
long as you can.
To
help keep warm, you can get
out
of
the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises
every half hour or
so
until help comes.

INFORMATION
Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
found on the rear edge
of
the driver's door tells
you
the
proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation
pressures for the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you
important information about the number of people that
can be in your vehicle and the total weight that you can
carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight
and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all
nonfactory-installed options.
