AC1 GM -
Service
Your Chevrolet dealer knows your vehicll
best and wants you to be happy with it.
We hope you’ll
go to your dealer for all
your service needs. You’ll get genuine
GM parts and GM-trained and supported
service people.
We hope you’ll want to keep your
GM
vehicle all GM. Genuine GM parts have
one of these marks.
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 “Service
Publications” in the Index.
Your vehicle has an air bag system.
Before attempting to do your own service
work, see “Servicing Your Air Bag
-
Equipped Chevrolet” in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts
receipts and list
the mileage and the date
of any service work you perform. See
“Maintenance Record” in the Index.

When to Check: Check your tires once a
month or more. Don’t forget your
compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi
(420 kPa).
How to Check: Use a good quality
pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the pressure, especially if you have
radial tires
- which may look properly
inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture. Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them
inspected and rotated at the mileages
recommended
in the Maintenance
Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance
Services” in the Index.
[f you don’t have P245/50ZR16 size tires
use the rotation pattern shown above for
your size tires.
4-
f you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they
nust roll in
a certain direction for the best
werall performance. The direction is
hown by an arrow on both sidewalls.
3ecause these tires are directional, they
hould be rotated as shown
in the
:xample above. These tires should only
,e moved from front to rear and rear to
ront on the same side of the vehicle.
ifter the tires have been rotated, adjust
he front and rear inflation pressure as
.hown on
the Tire-Loading Information
abel. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
u-operly tightened. See “Wheel Nut
rorque” in the Index.

Custumer satisfaction
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:
STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with a
member of dealership management.
Normally, concerns can 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

Alternative Dispute Resolution Program
*
BBB AUTO LINE -
Both Chevrolet and your Chevrolet dealer
are committed to making sure you are
completely satisfied
with your new
vehicle. Our experience has shown that,
if a situation arises where you feel your
concern has not been adequately
addressed, the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure described earlier
in this
section is very successful.
There
may be instances where an
impartial third-party can assist
in arriving
at
a solution to a disagreement regarding
vehicle repairs or interpretation of the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty. To
assist
in resolving these disagreements
Chevrolet voluntarily participates
in
BBB AUTO LINE.
BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court
program administered
by the Better
Business Bureau system to settle disputes
between customers and automobile
manufacturers. This program is available
free
of charge to customers who currently
own or lease a
GM vehicle. If you
are not satisfied after following the
Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you
may contact the BBB using the toll-free
telephone number, or write them at the
following address:
BBB AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite
800
Arlington, VA 22203
Telephone: 1-800-955-5 IO0
To file a claim, you will be asked to
provide your name and address, your
vehicle identification number
(VIN),
and a statement of the nature of your
complaint. Eligibility is limited
by vehicle
age and mileage, and other factors.
We prefer you utilize the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure before you resort
to AUTO LINE, but you
may contact the
BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt
to resolve the complaint serving as an
intermediary between you and Chevrolet.
If this mediation is unsuccessful, an
informal hearing
will be scheduled where
eligible customers may present their case
to an impartial third-party arbitrator.
The arbitrator
will make a decision which
you may accept or reject.
If you accept the
decision, GM will be bound by that
decision. The entire dispute resolution
procedure should ordinarily take about
forty days from the time you file a claim
until a decision is made.
Some state laws may require you
to use
this program before filing a claim with
a
state-run arbitration program or in the
courts. For further information, contact
the BBB at
1-800-955-5100 or the
Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center
at
1-800-222- 1020.
* This program may not be available
in all states, depending on state law.
Canadian owners refer to your
Warranty and Owner Assistance
information booklet. General Motors
reserves the right to change eligibility
limitations and/or to discontinue its
participation
in this program.
