Welcome
This manual was prepared to acquaint you with the operation and
maintenance of your 1994 Chevrolet Astro and to provide important safety

manuals from other manufacturers like body builders or special equipment
companies. We urge you to review all these publications carefully. This will
help you enjoy safe and trouble-free operation of your vehicle.
When it comes to service, keep in mind that your Chevrolet dealer knows
your vehicle best and is interested in your complete satisfaction. Your dealer
invites you to return for all of your service needs both during and after the
warranty period.
Remember, if you have a concern and need help handling it to your
satisfaction, see the procedure in the Chevrolet Truck Warranty and Owner
Assistance Information booklet.

V
Safety
Warnings
and
Symbols
You will find a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box with
gray background and the word CAUTION to tell you about things that could
hurt you if you were to ignore the warning.
I
In the gray caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then
we
tell you
what
to
do
to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions. If
you don’t, you
or
others could be hurt.
You
will also find a circle
with
a slash through it in this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,’’ “Don’t do this,” or “Don’t let
this
happen.”
vi
Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle.
In the notice area, we tell you about something that can damage your
vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty,
and it could be costly. But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid
the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings
in
different colors
or
in different words.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use yellow for
cautions, blue for notices and the words CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
These are some of the symbols
you
will find on your vehicle. For example,
these symbols are used on an original battery:
Caubon
Protect Eyes
