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.

After the scheduled services are performed, record the date, odometer
reading and who performed
the service in the boxes provided after the
maintenance interval. Any additional information from “Owner Checks and
Services” or “Periodic Maintenance” can be added
on the following record
pages. Also,
you should retain all maintenance receipts. Your owner
information portfolio is a convenient place to store them.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ‘To file a claim, you will be asked to provide your name and address, your
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and
a statement of the nature of your
complaint. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age and mileage, and other
factors.
We prefer you utilize the Customer Satisfaction Procedure before you resort
to AUTO LINE, but
you may contact the BBB at any time. The BBB will
attempt to resolve
the complaint serving as an intermediary between you
and Chevrolet. If this mediation is unsuccessful, an informal hearing will be
scheduled where eligible customers may present their case to an impartial
third-party arbitrator.
The arbitrator will make a decision which you may accept or reject. If you
accept the decision, GM will be bound by that decision. The entire dispute
resolution procedure should ordinarily take about forty days from the time
you file a claim until a decision is made.
Some state laws may require you
to use this program before filing a claim
with a state-run arbitration program or in the courts. For further
information, contact the BBB at
1-800-955-5 100 or the Chevrolet
Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-222-1
020.
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS TO THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury
or death, you should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to notifying
General Motors.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints,
it may open an investigation, and if
it finds that
a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall
and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in
individual problems between you, your dealer, or General Motors.
To contact NHTSA,
you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at
1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in
the Washington, D.C. area) or write to:
NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation
Washington, D.C. 20590
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the
Hotline.
