Key Lock Cylinders
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified in Part
D.
Body Lubrication
Lubricate all body door hinges. Also lubricate all hinges
and latches, including those for the hood, rear compartment,
console door and any folding seat hardware. Part
D tells
you what
to use. More fiequent lubrication may be required
when exposed to a corrosive environment.
Starter Switch
NOTE: Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the
engine in each gear. The starter should work only in
PARK
(P) or NEUTRAL (N). If the starter works in
any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift lever
in NEUTRAL
(N), push the clutch down halfway
and
try to start the engine. The starter should work
only when the clutch is pushed down all the way to
the floor. If the starter works when the clutch isn’t
pushed all the way down, your vehicle needs service.

(P) Mechanism Check
3.
NOTE: Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately if the vehicle begins to move.
With the engine off, turn the key
to the RUN
position, but don’t start the engine. Without applying
the regular brake, try to move the shift lever out
of
PARK (P) with normal effort. If the shift lever
moves out of PARK (P), your vehicle’s BTSI needs
service.
Steering Column Lock
While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn
the key to LOCK in each shift lever position.
With an automatic transmission, the key should turn
to LOCK only when the shift lever is in PARK
(P).
0 With a manual transmission, the key should turn to
LOCK only when the shift lever is in REVERSE (R).
On vehicles with
a key release button, try to turn the key
to LOCK without pressing the button. The key should
turn to LOCK only with the key button depressed.
On all vehicles, the key should come out only in LOCK. Park on a fairly
steep hill, with the vehicle facing
downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular brake, set the
parking brake.
To check the parking brake: With the engine running
and transmission in NEUTRAL
(N), slowly remove
foot pressure from the regular brake pedal.
Do this
until the vehicle is held by the parking brake only.
To check the PARK (P) mechanism’s holding ability:
Shift to PARK (P). Then release all brakes.
Underbody Flushing
At least every spring, use plain water to flush any corrosive
materials from the underbody. Take care to clean thoroughly any areas where mud and other debris can collect.

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.
Tire and Wheel Inspection
Inspect the tires for uneven wear or damage. If there is
irregular or premature wear, check the wheel alignment.
Inspect for damaged wheels.
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.
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. Inspect other brake parts, including
calipers, parking brake, etc.
You may need to have your
brakes inspected more often if your driving habits or
conditions result in frequent braking.
