Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How This Section is Organized
The remainder of this section is divided into five parts:
“Part 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. See “Service
Publications”
in the Index.
“Part 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.
“Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections” explains important
inspections that your
GM dealer’s service department or another qualified
service center should perform.
“Part 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.
“Part 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 part. 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 Schedule
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 iYi@ people use their GM vehicles, maintenance
needs vary. You may even need more frequent checks and replacements than
you’ll 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.
This part tells you the maintenance services you should have done and when
you should schedule them. 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.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed
in Part D. 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.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will find
these limits on your vehicle’s CertificatiodTire label. See “Loading
Your Vehicle’’
in the Index.
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits.
use the recommended unleaded fuel. See “Fuel’’ in the Index.
Selecting the Right Schedu/e
First you’ll need to decide which of the two schedules is right for your
vehicle. Here’s how to decide which schedule
