The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An
electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and
off, or in some cases to
remain off. If this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the
motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional seven-wire trailer wiring harness is protected by an in-line
fuse in the battery feed wire. This fuse is near the junction block in the
front, driver’s side fender. See “Trailer Wiring Harness”
in the Features &
Controls section.
Fuse Block
. .. . .,
The fuse block is in
the instrument panel
on the driver’s side.
Remove the cover by
turning the fastener
counterclockwise.
Then you can remove
fuses with a fuse
extractor. Extra fuses
are provided in the
cover.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be sure to use the
correct fuse.
Spare fuses are provided, however if you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you
can “borrow” one of the correct value. Just
pick some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without-like the
radio or cigarette lighter-and use its fuse, if it is of the value you need.
Replace it as soon as you
can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in this
section.
To reinstall the fuse panel cover, push in and turn the fastener clockwise.

This section covers the maintenance required for your vehicle. Your vehicle
needs these services
to retain its safety, dependability and emission control
performance.
Have you purchased the GM Protection Plan.? The Plan sctpplem.ent,s yo~~r
new vehicle warranties. See your GM dealerafor detuils.
Introduction
Your Vehicle and the ~ vironment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your vehicle in good
working condition, but
also helps the environment. All recommended
maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the
removal
of important components can significantly affect the quality of the
air we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even
the wrong tire inflation can
increase the level
of emissions from your vehicle. To help protect our
environment, and
to help keep your vehicle in good condition, please
maintain your vehicle properly.

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 ways 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:

Section
Here you will find out how to contact Chevrolet if you need assistance. This
section also tells you how
to obtain service publications and how to report
any safety defects.
This section includes information
on: The Customer Satisfaction Procedure,
Customer Assistance for Hearing or Speech Impaired,
BBB Auto Line -
Alternative Dispute Resolution Program, Reporting Safety Defects,
Roadside Assistance, and Service Publications.
Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and Chevrolet.
Normally, any concern with the sales transaction or
the operation of your
vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s Sales or Service Departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions
of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur.
If your concern has not been resolved to your
satisfaction, the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE - Discuss your concern with a member of dealership
management. Normally, concerns can be quickly resolved at that level.
If
the matter has already been reviewed with the Sales, Service, or Parts
Manager, contact the owner
of the dealership or the General Manager.

Alternative Dispute Resolution Program *

Canadian owners refer to your Warranty and Owner Assistance Information
booklet. General Motors reserves the right to change eligibility limitations and/or to discontinue its participation
in this program.
Both Chevrolet and your Chevrolet dealer are committed to making sure
you are completely satisfied with your new vehicle. Our experience has
shown that, if a situation arises where you
feel your concern has not been
adequately addressed, the Customer Satisfaction Procedure described earlier
in this section is very successful.
There may be instances where an impartial third-party can assist
in arriving
at
a solution to a disagreement regarding vehicle repairs or interpretation of
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. To assist
in resolving these
disagreements, Chevrolet voluntarily participates in BBB AUTO
LINE.
BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court program administered by the Better
Business Bureau system
to settle disputes between customers and
automobile manufacturers. This program
is available free of charge to
customers who currently own or lease a GM vehicle.
