Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should
be performed at least twice a year (for instance, each
spring and fall). You should let your
GM dealer’s
service department or other qualified service center do
these jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are
completed at once.
Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose parts or damage.
If you see anything that might keep a restraint system
from doing its job, have it repaired.
Steering and Suspension Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs
of
wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering
lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body
near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged,
missing or out-of-position parts as well as open seams,
holes, loose connections, or other conditions which
could cause a
heat build-up in the floor pan or could let
exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust” in
the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Throttle Linkage Inspection
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as
needed. Accelerator and cruise control cables should
not
be lubricated.
Manual Transmission
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See
“Manual Transmission”
in the Index. A fluid loss may
indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if
needed.
Rear Axle Service
Check the gear lubricant level in the rear axle and add if
needed. See “Rear Axle” in the Index. A fluid loss may
indicate a problem. Check the axle and repair
it if
needed.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing,
etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for
surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings for
wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including
drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. The
parking brake
is self-adjusting and no manual
adjustment
is required. You may need to have your
brakes inspected more often
if your driving habits or
conditions result in frequent braking.

Service Manuals
Service manuals contain diagnosis and repair
information for all chassis and body systems. They may
be useful for owners who wish
to get a greater
understanding of their vehicle. They are also useful for
owners with the appropriate skill level
or training who
wish
to perform “do-it-yourself” service. These are
authentic General Motors service manuals
meant for
professional, qualified technicians,
Service Bulletins
Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly
sent
to all General Motors’ dealerships. GM monitors
product performance
in the field. When service methods
are found which promote better service on GM vehicles,
bulletins are created
to help the technician perform better
service. Service bulletins may involve any number of
vehicles. Some
will describe inexpensive service; others
will describe expensive service. Some will advise of new
or unexpected conditions, and others may help avoid
future costly repairs. Service bulletins are meant for
qualified technicians.
In some cases they refer to service
manuals, specialized tools, equipment and safety
procedures necessary to service the vehicle. Since these bulletins are issued throughout the model year and
beyond, an index
is required and published quarterly to
help identify specific bulletins. Subscriptions are
available. You can order an index at the toll-free numbers
listed previously, or ask
a GM dealerhetailer to see an
index
or individual bulletin.
Owner Publications
Owner’s manuals, warranty folders and various owner
assistance booklets provide owners with general
operation and maintenance information.
