Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to
be of top quality and work well together
if the vehicle is to have really good
braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake parts in
them, as your vehicle does when it is new. When you replace parts of your
braking system
- for example, when your brake linings wear down and
you have to have new ones put in - be sure you get new genuine GM
replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly.
For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes can change
- for
the worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect can change
in
many other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Front Shock Absorbers
The front shock absorbers of your vehicle do many things. They help the
vehicle ride smoothly and also control the travel of the suspension system.
When the shock absorbers are serviced, any replacement shock absorbers
must be the same
as the original equipment shock absorbers in both
extended length and strength.
I NOTICE:
If you use shock absorbers that are not the same as the original
shock absorbers, the shock absorbers or suspension system
could be damaged.
Windshield Wiper Blade Inserts
To replace your
windshield wiper
blade inserts, lift the
wiper arm and rotate
the blade until
it is
facing away from
the
windshield.
Unlatch the end of the insert from the holding clips. Remove the insert
and
slide a new one in place. Make sure the blade is secured in the clips.

Tire Chains
NOTICE:
If your vehicle has LT265/75R16 size tires, don't use tire chains;
they can damage your vehicle.
If you have
a tire size other than LT26975R16, use tire chains
only where legal and only when you must. Use chains that are
the proper size for your tires. Install them on the tires
of the rear
axle.
Don't
use chains on the tires of the front axle.
Tighten them as tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain manufacturer's
instructions. If you can hear the chains contacting your vehicle,
stop and retighten them. If the contact continues, slow down
until it stops. Driving too fast or spinning the wheels with chains
on will damage your vehicle.
Appearance Care
. ..
. ..
Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Others can
burst into flame if
you strike a match or get them on a hot part of the
vehicle. Some are dangerous
if you breathe their fumes in a closed space.
When
you use anything from a container to clean your vehicle, be sure to
follow the manufxturer's warnings and instructions. And always open your
doors or windows when you're cleaning
the inside.
