Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want
to get the proper Pontiac Service Manual. It tells
you much more about how to service your Pontiac than
this manual can.
To order the proper service manual, see
“Service and Owner Publications” in the Index.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before att’empting
to
do your own service work, see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipp’ed Pontiac” in the
Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date
of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index,
