Ventilation Tips Press the switch to turn on the defogger. An indicator light will come onbelow the switch to remind you that the defogger is on. Press the switch again to turn the defogger off. The rear window defogger will also turn off if you turn the ignition switch to ACC orLOCK, but will turn back on when the ignition is turned back on.
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.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the fan control lever toward FAN for a few moments before driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and reduces thechance of fogging the inside of your windows. Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license or a decal across the defogger grid on the rear window. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle. But you will get the most enjoyment outof it if you acquaint yourself with it first.

But FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles 16 to 65 km. And, tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go. The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night.
The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it. Press AM-FM after you have checked that the code matches the one you wrote down.
Now SEC will appear on the display. Tips about Your Audio System Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautionsby adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it. To help avoid hearingloss or damage: Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly. 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.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and be sure tocheck Federal rules covering mobileradio and telephone units. Cassettetapes should be stored in their cases away from contaminants,direct sunlight, and extreme heat. Your tape playershould be cleaned regularly each month or after every 50 hours of use.
Your radio may display Cln to indicate that you have used your tape player for 50 hours without resetting the tapeclean timer. If you notice a reductionin sound quality, try a known good cassette to see if the tape or thetape player is at fault. If this other cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player. Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette.
This system uses a cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the cleanercassette turn. It is normal for the cartridge to eject while cleaning. Insert the cassette at least three times to ensure thorough cleaning. You may also choose a non-scrubbingaction, wet type cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not eject.
It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner. Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade overtime. Always make sure that the cassette tape isin good condition beforeyou have your tape player serviced. Care of Your Compact Discs Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure neverto touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edgesor the edge of the hole and the outer edge. Antenna Use the knobon the end of the antenna to raise the antenna. To lower it, hold the antennamast near the roof and feed it into the holder. Do not try to lower the antenna using the knob. Keep the antennamast clean for good performance.
Always lower the antenna before entering car a wash. If you have the convertibletop, also lowerthe antenna before removing or installing the top. Please start with a very important safety device in your Geo: Buckle up.
Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their mistakes. Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable of accidents. Yet they are common. Allow enough following distance. You never know when the vehicle in front of you is going to brake or turn suddenly. Drunken Driving The obvious way to solve this highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive.
But what if people do? Although it depends on each person and situation, here is some general information on the problem. Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a vehicle: The Blood Alcohol Concentration BAC of someone who is drinking depends upon four things: 0 Judgment 0 Muscular Coordination 0 Vision Attentiveness Police records show that almost half of all motor vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol.
In most cases, these deathsare the result of someone who was drinking and driving. In recent years, some 18, annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been associated with the use of alcohol, with more than , people injured. Many adults -- by some estimates, nearly half the adult population -- choose never to drink alcohol, so they never drive after drinking. There are good medical, psychological and developmental reasons for these laws. The law in many U. In a growing number of U.
The BAC limit for all commercial drivers in the U. The BAC will be over 0. A person who consumes food just before or during drinking will have a somewhat lower BAC level, There is a gender difference, too. Women generally have a lower relative percentage of body water than men. Since alcohol is carried in body water, this means that a woman generally will reach a higher BAC level than a But the ability to drive is affected well belowa BAC of 0.
Research shows that the driving skills of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching 0. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0. Statistics show that the chance of being in a collision increases sharply for drivers who have a BAC of 0. A driver with a BAC level of 0. At a BAC level of 0. The body takes about an hour to rid itself ofthe alcohol in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold showers will speed that up.
A person with evena moderate BAC might not beable to react quickly enough to avoid the collision. Control of a Vehicle Braking You have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go.
They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator. All three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road. Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal. Then you have tobring up your foot and do it. It might be less with one driver and as long as two or three seconds or more with another. Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination, and eyesight all play a part.
So do alcohol, drugs and frustration. That could be a lot of distance in an emergency, so keeping enough space between your vehicle and others is important.
That means you can lose control of your vehicle. Some people drive in spurts -- heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking -- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may not havetime to cool between hard stops.
Your brakes will wear out much keep pace faster if you do a lot of heavy braking. If you with the traffic and allowrealistic following distances, you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That means better braking and longer brake life. If you do, the pedal may get harder to push down. If your engine stops, you will stillhave some power brake assist.
But you will use it when you brake. Once the power assist is used up, it may take longer to stop and the brake pedal will be harder to push. Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you.
You slam on the brakes. A computer senses that the rear wheels are slowing down. If one of the rear wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will work the brakes at the rear wheels. It is programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes.
To Use Anti-Lock Use rear-wheel anti-lock like regular brakes. You may feel the brakes; vibrate,or you may notice some noise outside your vehicle, but this is normal. Let anti-lock work for you, but remember: Your front wheels can still stop rolling.
If that happens, release enough pressure on the brakes to get the wheels rolling again so that you can steer. But you will have regular braking. When you shift back into two-wheel drive, you will have anti-lock again. As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on rear wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
Power Steering You have the rear-wheel anti-lock braking system. Your front wheels can stop rolling when you brake very hard. Momentum will carry it in whatever direction it was headed when the front wheels stopped rolling. That could be off the road, into the very thing you were trying to avoid, or into traffic. This will give you maximum braking while maintaining steering control.
You do this by pushing on the brake pedal with steadily increasing pressure. When you do, it will help maintain steering control. In many emergencies, steering can help you more thaneven the very best braking. If you lose power steering assistbecause the engine stops or the system is notfunctioning, you can steer but it will take much more effort.
The traction of the tires against the road surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn the front wheels. The traction you canget in a curve depends on the condition of your tires and the road surface, theangle at which the curve is banked, and your speed. Then you suddenly apply the brakes. Both control systems -- steering and braking -- have to dotheir work where the tires meet the road.
Adding the hard bralung can demand too much at those places. You can lose control. Those two control systems -- steering and acceleration -- can overwhelm those places where the tires meet the road and make you lose control. What should you do if this ever happens? Ease upon the brake or accelerator pedal, steer the vehicle the way you want it to go, and slow down.
Speed limit signs near curves warn that you should adjust your speed. Of course, the posted speeds are based on good weather and road conditions. Steering in Emergencies There aretimes when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come overa hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out frombetween parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these problems by braking -- if you can stop in time.
Your Geo can perform very well inemergencies like these. First apply your brakes, but not enough to lock your front wheels. It isbetter to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on the space available. If you need to reduce your speed as you approach a curve, do it before you enter the curve,while your front wheels are straight ahead.
Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to accelerate until you are outof the curve, and then accelerate gently into the straightaway. If you are holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you can turn it a full degrees very quickly withoutremoving either hand.
But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have avoided the object. Off-Road Recovery You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you're driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should befairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then,if there is nothing in the way,steer so that your vehicle straddles theedge of the pavement.
You can turn the steering wheel up to turn until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn your steering wheel togo straight down the roadway. Keep back a reasonable distance. Time your move so you will be increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other lane.
And if something happens to cause you to cancel your pass, you need only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity. Remember to glance over your shoulder and check the blind spot. The driverof a vehicle about to pass another on a two-lane highway waits for just the right moment, accelerates, moves around the vehicle ahead, then goes back into the right lane again. A simple maneuver? Not necessarily!
Passing another vehicle on a two-lane highway is a potentially dangerous move, since the passing vehicle occupies the same lane asoncoming traffic for several seconds. A miscalculation, an error in judgment, or a brief surrender to frustration or anger can suddenly put the passing driver face to facewith the worst of all traffic accidents -- the head-on collision.
If you have any doubt whatsoever about making a successful pass, waitfor a better time. Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines. If you can see a sign upahead that might indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your pass. Never cross a solid line on your side of the laneor a double solid line, even if the roadseems empty of approaching traffic.
Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your leftlane change signal before moving out of the right lane topass. When youare far enough ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the right lane. Remember that your right outside mirror is convex.
The vehicle you just passed may seem to befarther away from you than it really is. Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle. Even though thebrake lamps are not flashing, it may be slowing down or starting to turn. Perhaps you can ease a little to the right. Keep tryingto steer and constantly seek anescape route or areaof less danger. Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. But skids are always possible. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in acurve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force.
And in the acceleration skid too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin. A cornering skid and an acceleration skidare best handled by easing your foot off the accelerator pedal.
If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want the vehicle to go.
If you start steering quickly enough, your vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a second skid if it occurs. Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow,ice, gravel, or other material is on the road. It is important to slow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited.
While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking including engine braking by shifting to a lower gear. Any sudden changes could cause the tires to slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery until your vehicle is skidding.
In a braking skid where the front wheels are no longer rolling , release enough pressure on the brakes to get the front wheels rolling again. This restores steering control. Push the brake pedal down steadily when youhave to stop suddenly. As long as the front wheels are rolling, you will have steering control.
Driving Guidelines This multipurpose passenger vehicle is defined as a utility vehicle in Consumer Information Regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA of the UnitedStates Department of Transportation, Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems.
They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars aredesigned to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.
Off-road driving canbe great fun. But itdoes have some definite hazards. The greatest of these is theterrain itself. There are no road signs. Surfaces can be slippery, rough, uphill or downhill. Off-road driving involves some new skills. These will help make your off-road driving safer and more enjoyable. For example, be sureto have all necessary maintenance and service work done. Check to make sure all underbody shields if so equipped are properly attached.
Be sure you read all the information about your four-wheel drive vehicle in this manual. Is there enough fuel? Is the spare tire fully inflated? Are the fluid levels up where they should be? If so, be sure to get the.
Put heavier items as far forward as you can. Traveling to Remote Areas It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your route. You are much less likely to get bad surprises.
