habits or conditions result in frequent braking.

iced. Also, if the brake system warning light stays on or comes on, something may be wrong
with the brake system. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.

Service Publications
Information on how to obtain Product
Service Publications (PSP’s) and Indexes
as described below is applicable only
in
the fifty U.S. states (and the District of
Columbia) and only for cars and light
trucks with
GVWR less than 10,000
pounds
(4 536 kg).
In Canada, information pertaining to
Product Service Bulletins and Indexes can
be obtained by writing to:

Chevrolet regularly sends its dealers
useful service bulletins about Chevrolet
products. Chevrolet monitors product
performance in the field. We then prepare
bulletins for servicing our products better.
Now, you can get these bulletins too.
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some
pertain to the proper use and care
of your
vehicle. Some describe costly repairs.
Others describe inexpensive repairs
which, if done on time with the latest
parts, may avoid future costly repairs.
Some bulletins tell a technician how to repair
a new or unexpected condition.
Others describe a quicker way to fix your
vehicle. They can help a technician
service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply to conditions
affecting a small number
of cars or trucks.
Your Chevrolet dealer or
a qualified
technician may have to determine
if a
specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.
Individual PSP’s
If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s
issued by Chevrolet for all car or truck
models
in the model year, you can buy
individual PSP’s, such as those which
may pertain to a particular model. To do
this, you will first need to see our index of
PSP’s. It provides a variety of
information. Here’s what you’ll find
in
the index and how you can get one:
What You’ll Find in the Index:
0 A list of all PSP’s published by
Chevrolet
in a model year (I 990 or
later). PSP’s covering all models of
Chevrolet cars or light trucks (less
than
10,000 pounds (4 536 kg)
GVWR) are listed in the same index.
0 Ordering information so you can buy
the specific PSP’s you may want.
0 Price information for the PSP’s you
may want to buy.
How You Can Get an Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most
of the PSP’s which could potentially
apply to the most recent Chevrolet models
will be listed in the most recent
publication for that model year. This
means you may want to wait until the
end
of the model year before ordering an
index, if you are interested in buying
PSP’s pertaining to a current model year
car or truck.
Some PSP’s pertaining to a particular
model year vehicle may be published
in
later years, and these would be listed in
the later year’s index. When you order an
index for
a model year that is not over
yet, we’ll send you the most recently
published issue. Check the ordering form
for indexes for earlier model years.
Cut out the ordering
form, fill it out, and
mail
it in. We will then see to it that an
index is mailed to you. There is no charge
