Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to
be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have \
really good
braking. Vehicles
we design and test have topquality GM brake parts in
them, as your vehicle does when it is new. When you replace parts of your
braking system
- for example, when your brake linings wear down and
you have to have new ones put in
- be sure you get new genuine GM
replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly.
For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong \
for your vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes can change, for the
worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect can change in many
other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new vehicle has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You never have to add
water to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery,
we recommend a
Delco Freedom’ battery. Get one that has the catalog number shown on the
original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative
(-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.

Front Suspension and Steering Linkage
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to lubricate the
fittings and what type
of lubricant to use.
Front Wheel Bearings (Two-Wheel Drive)
If your vehicle is two-wheel drive, it has wheel bearings that must be
cleaned and repacked.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often this must be
done.
Single Belt Accessory Drive
Your new vehicle uses a serpentine belt that is lighter, and more durable
than systc
.s with several belts.
The belt runs over or around the pulleys on the engine. A tensioner is used
to keep the belt tight at all times. The tensioner also makes replacing the
belt easier if you need to replace the belt, be sure
to get the correct
replacement belt. Your dealership or parts supplier can help you with this.
The Accessory Drive Belt Routing label on your vehicle will show y\
ou how
to route the belt your vehicle uses.

NOTICE:
Use care when removing or installing a blade assembly.
Accidental bumping can cause the arm to fall back and strike
the windshield.

nuts for your
GM model.

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’pWple use their GM vehicle\
s, 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 up\
on 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 infla\
tion 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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Explanation Of Scheduled Maintenance Services
Below are explanations of the services listed in the maintenance charts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed
in this section. Make sure
whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts should be \
replaced and
all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle.
1. ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE* - ALWAYS USE
API SERVICE SH OR SG ENERGY CONSERVING I1 OILS
OF THE
PROPER VISCOSITY. The “SH” or
“SG’ designation may be shown
alone or in combination with others, such as “SWCD”, or
“SH, SG,
CD,” or “SGKD”, etc. To determine the preferred viscosity oil for your
vehicle’s engine (e.g. SAE 5W-30), see “Engine
Oil” in the Index.
2. CHASSIS LUBRICATION - Lubricate the front suspension, ball
joint, steering linkage, and transfer case shift linkage, parking brake\

cable guides, propshaft splines, universal joints, brake pedal springs,
and clutch pedal springs at the intervals specified on the proper
maintenance schedule, or at every engine oil change, whichever comes
first
.
Ball joints should not be lubricated unless their temperature is 10°F
(-12°C) or higher. When the weather is cold, let them warm up before
lubricating them or they could be damaged.
Also, be sure
to check all the vehicle fluid levels at this time.
3.
COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE* - Drain, flush and refill the
system with new or approved recycled coolant conforming to “\
GM
Specification 6038-M” (4.3L engine) or “GM Specification 6043-M”
(2.2L engine). See “Engine Coolant” in the Index for the proper coolant
and mixture to use in your vehicle.
Also inspect the hoses and replace them if they are cracked, \
swollen, or
deteriorated. Clean the outside of the radiator and air conditioning
condenser. Wash the radiator neck. To ensure proper operation,
pressure test the radiator and cap.
4. AIR CLEANER FILTER REPLACEMENT* - Replace at
specified intervals. Ask your dealer for the proper replacement
intervals for your driving conditions.
5. FRONT WHEEL BEARING REPACK (%WHEEL DRIVE
ONLY) - Clean and repack the front wheel bearings at each brake
relining, or at the specified interval, whichever comes first.
