Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427)
or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and
dust films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners
on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since
they may have to be
scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on
the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
Cleaning the Outside of the Windshield,
Backglass and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the
blade
or windshield.
Clean the outside
of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami
Powder@
(GM Part No. 10500 I 1 ). The windshield is clean if beads do not
form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked
in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better, and
not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth
at least every
six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent application may
be required. (See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
in the Index.)
Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss
retention and durability.

Introduction
Your Vehicle and the Environment
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:
carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will find
these limits on your vehicle’s CertificatiodTire label. See “Loading
Your Vehicle”
in the Index.
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits.
are driven off-road in the recommended manner. See “Off Road
Driving With Your Four-wheel Drive Vehicle”
in the Index.
use the recommended unleaded fuel. See “Fuel” in the Index.
Selecting the Right Schedule
The proper maintenance schedule for your vehicle depends on which engine
you have in your vehicle and how you use your vehicle.
Gasoline engine vehicles and diesel engine vehicles have different
maintenance requirements. If you have a diesel engine, follow
a schedule
designated for diesel engine vehicles
only. If you have a gasoline engine,
you must first determine whether your engine has a light duty or a heavy
duty emissions classification. Follow a maintenance schedule designated for
gasoline engines with the emissions classification (light duty or heavy duty)
for your engine. See “Engine Identification”
in the Index to find your
engine’s emission classification.
