Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 out, replace
it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can sometimes
be repaired). See your Chevrolet 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.
[f you need to replace any of your wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace them
Drily with new GM original equipment
parts. This way, you will be sure to have
the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for your Chevrolet model.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer cal-
ibration, headlight aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance, and
tire or tire chain clearance to the
body and chassis.

Silicone grease on weatherstrips will
make them last longer, seal better, and not
stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease
with a clean cloth at least every six
months. During very cold, damp weather
more frequent application may be
required. (See “Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants” in the Index.)
Sheet Metal Damage
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
sheet metal repair or replacement, make
sure the body repair shop applies
anti-corrosion material to the parts
repaired or replaced to restore corrosion
protection.
Foreign Material
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice
melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap,
bird droppings, chemicals from industrial
chimneys, and other foreign matter can
damage your vehicle’s finish
if they
remain on painted surfaces. Use cleaners
that are marked safe for painted surfaces
to remove foreign matter.
Finish Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be repaired
right away. Bare metal will corrode
quickly and may develop into a major
repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired
with touch-up materials available from
your dealer or other service outlets.
Larger areas of finish damage can be
corrected in your dealer’s body and paint
shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal
and dust control can collect on the
underbody. If these are not removed,
accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on
the underbody parts such as fuel lines,
frame, floor pan, and exhaust system even
though they have corrosion protection.
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and
other debris can collect. Dirt packed in
closed areas of the frame should be
loosened before being flushed. Your
dealer or an underbody vehicle washing
system can do this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions
can create a chemical fallout. Airborne
pollutants can fall upon and attack painted
surfaces on your vehicle. This damage
can take two forms: blotchy,
ringlet-shaped discolorations, and small
irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes
this, Chevrolet will repair, at no charge to
the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles
damaged by this fallout condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km)
of purchase, whichever comes first.

Introduction: A Word about Maintenance
We at General Motors want to help you
keep your vehicle in good working
Condition,
But we don’t how 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 part. So
please read this part and note how you
drive.
If you have any questions on how
to keep your vehicle in
good condition,
see your Ghevrolet 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
keeps your vehicle in good working
condition,
but it also helps the
environment. All recommended
maintenance procedures are important.
hproper 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.
How This Part is Organized
The remainder of this part is divided into
five sections:
“Section
A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services” shows
what to have done, and
how often. Some of these services can
be
complex, so unless you are technically
qualified and have the necessary
equipment,
you should let your dealer’s service department
or another qualified
service center
do these jobs.
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 later in
this manual. See “Service Publications”
in the
Index.
“Section B: Owner Checks and Services”
tells you what should be checked
whenever
you stop for fuel. It also
explains what you can easily
do to help
keep
your vehicle in good condition.
. . .238
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine “Section C: Periodic Maintenance
: Inspections” explains important
inspections that your Chevrolet dealer’s
service department or another qualified
service center should perform.
“Section
D: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants” lists some products GM
recommends to help keep your vehicle
properly maintained. These products, or their equivalents, should be used whether
you do the work yourself or have it done.
“Section
E: 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.
Using Your Maintenance
Schedules
This section tells you the maintenance
services you should have done and
when you should schedule them. Your
Chevrolet dealer knows your vehicle best
and wants you to be happy with it. If you
go to your dealer for your service needs,
you’ll know that GM-trained and
supported service people will perform
the work using genuine GM parts.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within
recommended limits.
You will find
these limits on your vehicle’s
Tire-Loading Information label. See
“Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
are driven on reasonable road pprfaces
within legal driving limits.
use
the recommended unleaded fuel.
See “Fuel” in the Index.
Selecting the Right Schedule
First you’ll need to decide which of the
two schedules is right for your vehicle.
Here’s how to decide which schedule to
follow:
Schedule
I
Is any one of these true for your vehicle?
Most trips are less than 4 miles (6 km).
Most trips are less than 10 miles (16
km) when outside temperatures are
below freezing.
The engine is at low speed most of the
time (as in door-to-door delivery, or in
stop-and-go traffic).
You operate your vehicle in dusty
You tow a trailer.
If any one (or more) of these is true for
your driving, follow Schedule
I.
Schedule 11
Follow Schedule I1 on& if none of the
above conditions is true.
