1994 CHEVROLET BLAZER flat tire

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature - A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation
of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard\

No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test
wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire
is established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls
of passenger car tires.
While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary
with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use on
General Motors vehicles. All passenger type
(P Metric) tires must conform
to Federal safety requirements
in addition to these grades.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you
will not need to have your wheels aligned again.
However,
if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or
the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle
vibrating when driving on
a smooth road, your wheels may need to be
rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts keep
coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be replaced. If
the wheel leaks air, replace
it (except some aluminum wheels, which can
sometimes
be repaired). See your GM dealer if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one
it replaces.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A Word About Maintenance
We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working
condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll drive it. You may drive
very short distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive long
distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle
in making deliveries. Or you may drive it to work, to
do errands, or in many
other ways.
Because of all the different ways people use their GM vehicles, maintenance
needs vary. You may even need more frequent checks and replacements than
you will find in the schedules in this section.
So please read this section and
note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle
in good condition, see your GM dealer, the place many GM owners choose
to have their maintenance work done. Your dealer can be relied upon
to use
proper parts and practices.
Your Vehicle And The Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps keep your vehicle in good
working condition, but it also helps the environment. All recommended
maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the
removal of important components can significantly affect the quality of the
air
we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even the wrong tire inflation can
increase the level of emissions from your vehicle. To help protect our
environment, and to help keep your vehicle in good condition, please
maintain your vehicle properly.
If you are skilled enough to do some work on your vehicle, you will
probably want to get the service information GM publishes. You will find a
list of publications and how to get them in Section
8, Customer Assistance
Information.
See “Service Publications” in the Index.
The Maintenance Record provides a place for you
to record the maintenance
performed on your vehicle. Whenever any maintenance is performed, be
sure to write it down in this section. This will help you determine when your
next maintenance should be done. In addition, it is a
good idea to keep your
maintenance receipts. They may be needed to qualify your vehicle for
warranty repairs.

Listed below are owner checks and services which would be made at the
time period specified to help ensure proper safety, emission performance,
and dependability of your vehicle.
Be sure any necessary repairs are completed at once. Whenever any fluids
or lubricants are added
to your vehicle, make sure they are the proper ones,
as shown in this section.
At Least Once a Month
Tire Inflation Pressure Check - Check the tires for proper inflation. If
they are low, inflate them to the level specified on the Certification label.
See “Inflation-Tire Pressure” in the Index.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinder Lubrication - Lubricate key lock cylinders with one
of the lubricants recommended
in this section.
Transmission Neutral or Clutch Start Switch Operation -
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the manual parking brake, and the regular brake. See
“Brakes” and “Parking Brake” in the Index.
Do not use the accelerator
pedal.
3. Be ready to turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
4. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the engine in each gear.
The starter should work
only in “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral).
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift lever in “N’ (Neutral),
push the clutch down halfway, and try to start the engine. The starter
should work only when the clutch is pushed down
