You need a new tire if One
way to tell when
it’s time for new tires
is to check the
treadwear indicators,
which will appear
when your tires have
only
2/32 inch (1.6
mm) or less of tread
remaining.
You can see the indicators at three places around the tire.
0 You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber.
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired
well because of the size or location of the damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire
Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s
sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are
designed
to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride
and other things during normal service on your vehicle.
If your tires have
an all-season tread design, the
TPC number will be followed by a “MS”
(for mud and snow).

Keep belts clean and dry.
A CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it may severely
weaken them. In a crash they might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and
lukewarm water.
GLASS
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No.
1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco
smoke and dust films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals
on the inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WINDSHIELD
AND mPER BLADES
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running,
wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.
Clean the outside
of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner,
Bon-Ami Powder@ (GM Part
No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if
beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on
a regular basis and replaced when
worn.

Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
