MAXIMUM LUGGAGE/CARGO LOAD CAPACITY
Coupe and Sedan Station Wagon 60.0 kg/' 321bs. 40.0 kg/88Ibs.
Notice: Total combined weight of luggage compartment load, luggage rack load (when equipped), trailer tongue load, non-factory installed options and
passenge'rs' must. not exceed the vehicle capacity weight (shown on the tire placard located on the driver's door).
Inflation Pressure
The cold inflation pressures listed on the Tire Placard provide forAIlebest
balance of fuel economy, tire life, riding comfort, and vehicle handling under normal driving conditions. These pressures should be used for all vehicle
loading conditions.
Incorrect tire inflation pressures can have adverse effects on tire life
and vehicle performance. Too Iowan air pressure causes increased tire flexing and
heat buildup. This weakens the tire and increases the chance of damage or
failure. It can result in tire overloading, abnormal tire wear, adverse vehicle handling, and reduced fuel economy. Too high an air pressure can result in
abnormal wear, harsh ride, and can increase the chance of damage from road
hazards.
Check tire inflation pressures at
least monthly (this includes the spare tire) and
whenever your vehicle is serviced. When possible, check tire inflation
pressures
when the tires are "cold."
1. The "cold" tire inflation pressure is the tire pressure when a vehicle has
not been driven more than one mile (1.6 kilometers) after sitting for three
hours or
more. This is the most accurate pressure reading.
2. .It is normal for tire pressures to increase 30 to 60 kilopascals (4 to 8 pounds per square inch) or more when the tires become hot from driving.
If you must set inflation pressures when the tires are not "cold," set them
28 kilopascals (4 pounds per square inch) more than'the cold pressures
recommended on the Tire Placard.
3. The· tire inflation pressures on the Tire Placard are adequate for all speeds. No tire pressure adjustment is required for freeway speeds. (Also
follow
the Caution at the beginning of this "Tire" section).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Hood Release -The hood release handle is located on the left side of the
instrument panel. To open, pull the handle to release the hood lock. Then,
push down
slightly on the hood while lifting the underhood lever, raise the
hood, and hold it open with the prop rod. To lower hood, lift the hood slightly
to remove tension from the hood prop. Then, place the hood prop in its
retaining
clip and lower the hood.
Engine
Oil - Use SF-quality, SAE 5W-30, Energy-Conserving engine oil in your gasoline engine if the outside temperature is not expected to exceed 38" C
(100"F)
prior to the next oil change.
For other expected outside temperatures
and additional important information on engine oil see "Engine Oil and Filter Recommendations" in Section 5 of this
manual for the recommended viscosity grade. Add oil as needed to maintain
the proper level within the operating range shown on the dipstick.
Tire
Inflation Pressures -Check at least monthly (including the spare). Keep
them inflated to the pressures shown on the Tire Placard on the left front door. (Keep compact spare tires inflated to 415 kPa or 60 psi.)
Engine
Cooling System -Check the fluid level in the coolant recovery tank at
regular intervals, such as during a fuel stop. (See "Engine Cooling System" in "Service and Maintenance," Section 5 of this manual.)
Windshield Washer -Check the windshield washer reservoir fluid level
regularly. Use a washer fluid, such as GM Optikleen.
Battery -Your new vehicle has a Delco FREEDOM battery . You will never
have to add water. The hydrometer (test indicator) in the cover provides information for testing purposes only.
