Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own
service work, you’ll want
to get the
proper Chevrolet Service Manual.
It
tells you much more about how to service
your Chevrolet than this manual can.
To
order the proper service manual, see the
Index under Service Publications.
You should keep a record with all parts
receipts and list the mileage and the date
of any service work you perfom. See
the
Index under Maintenance Record.

Use this rotation pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation pressure as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information
label. Make certain that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See the Index
under Wheel Nut Torque.
To make your tires last longer, have
them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule. See the

Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on
; parts to which it is
fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The
wheel could come off and cause an
accident. When you change a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt
from
places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, you can use a cloth or
a paper towel to do this; but be
sure to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if you need to, to get all the
rust or dirt
off. (See the Index
under Changing a Flat Tire.)
When lt’s Time for New Tires
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 need a new tire if

The tire has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that can’t be repaired well

of the size or location of the

Customer Satisfacion Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and Chevrolet. Normally, any concern with the sales
transaction or the operation
of your
vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s
Sales or Service Departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best
intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should
be taken:
282
STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with
a member of dealership management.
Complaints can often be quickly
resolved at that level.
If the matter has
already been reviewed with the Sales, Service, or
Parts Manager, contact the
owner
of the dealership or the General
Manager.
STEP TWO: If after contacting a
member of Dealership Management, it
appears your concern cannot be resolved
by the dealership without further help,
contact the Chevrolet Customer
Assistance Center by calling
1-800-222-1020. In Canada, contact GM
of Canada Customer Assistance Center
in
Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777
(English) or 1-800-263-7854 (French).
In Mexico, call (525) 254-3777. In
Puerto Rico or
U.S. Virgin Islands, call
1-809-763-13U. In all other overseas
locations, contact GM International
Export Sales

We encourage you to use this program
before or instead of resorting to the
courts. We believe
it offers advantages
over courts in
most jurisdictions because
it is fast, free of charge, and informal
(lawyers are not usually present,
although you may retain one at your
expense if you choose). Arbitrators
make decisions based on the principles
of fairness and equity, and are not
required to duplicate the functions of
:ourts by strictly applying state or
federal law. If you wish to go to court,
however, we do
not require that you first
File a claim with
BBB AUTO LINE**
unless state law provides otherwise. Whatever your preference
may be,
remember that if you are unhappy
with
the results of BBB AUTO LINE, you
can still go to
court because an
arbitrator's decision is binding
on GM
but not on you, unless you accept it.
Eligibility is limited by vehicle
age/mileage and other factors. For
further information concerning the
program, call the
BBB at
1-800-955-5100. You may also call the
Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center.

all states, depending on state law.

to change eligibility limitations and/or to
discontinue its participation
in this
program.

claim with
BBB AUKI LAVE before
resorting to state-operated procedures
(including court).
