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, Suspension and Front-Wheel-Drive
Axle Boot and Seal 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. Clean and then inspect the drive
axle boot seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace
seals if necessary.
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.
Throttle Linkage Inspection
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, and f\
or
damaged or missing parts. Replace parts
as needed.
Accelerator and cruise control cables should not
be lubricated.
Manual Transaxle
Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. See
“Manual Transaxle” in the Index.
A fluid loss may
indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
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.
Check parking brake adjustment.
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.
