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.
A CAUTION:
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can
be dangerous. In trying to do some jobs, you can
be seriously injured.
Do your own maintenance
work only if you have the required know-how
and the proper tools and equipment for the job.
If you have any doubt, have a qualified
technician do the work.
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 and Owner
Publications”
in the Index. “Part
B: Owner Checks and Services”
tells you
what should be checked and when. 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.

Services
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

will
perform the work using genuine GM parts.
s 00 to your dealer for your service needs. you'll know The proper fluids
and lubricants
to use are listed in Part D.

parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs done
before
you or anyone else drives the vehicle.

Selecting the Right Schedule

right for your vehicle. Here's how to decide which
schedule to follow:
7-4

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Short TripKity Maintenance Schedule
The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles
( 166 000 km) should be performed after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) at the same intervals. The services shown
at
150,000 miles (240 000 km) should be performed at
the same interval after 150,000 miles
(240 000 km).
See “Owner Checks and Services” and “Periodic

Footnotes
? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that
the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior
to the
completion of the vehicle’s
useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services
be
performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance
be recorded.
# Lubricate the front suspension, ball joints, steering
linkage and transfer case shift linkage, parking brake
cable guides, propshaft splines, universal joints and
