Before you start, be sure you have enough room around the vehicle.
Firmly apply both the parking brake
(see “Parking Brake” in the Index
if necessary) and the regular brake.
NOTE:
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be ready to turn off the
engine immediately
if it starts.
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.
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).
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.

pedal.
Do this until the vehicle is held by the parking brake only.
0 To check the PARK (P) mechanism’s holding ability: Shift to PARK
(P). Then release all brakes.

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.
