Locate the heel end of the wiper blade assembly that
has the two notches held by the wiper blade claw.
Hold the wiper blade assembly with one hand and
pull the element gently with the other hand. (Replacement blade elements have three plastic
caps which retain two metal flexor strips.
Do not
remove these caps before the element is installed).
At the heel end of the wiper blade assembly, notched
end of blade element last, slide the blade element
into the blade claw sets. The plastic retainer caps will be forced off
as the element is fully inserted.
Make sure that all the claw sets are properly engaged
in the slots of the blade element.
Install the wiper blade assembly on the wiper arm.

Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by
a leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have questions
about your tire warranty and where to obtain service, see
your Chevrolet Warranty booklet for details.
’ Poorly maintained and improperly used tires
are dangerous.
0 Overloading your tires can cause
overheating as
a result of too much friction.
You could have
an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in
the Index.
CAUTION: (Continued)

Underinflated tires pose the same danger as
overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured or broken by
a sudden
impact
-- such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread is badly worn, or
if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
See “Inflation
-- Tire Pressure” in this section
for inflation pressure adjustment for higher
speed driving.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Inflation -- Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label, which is on the
driver’s door, shows the correct inflation pressures for
your tires when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle
has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no
more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
If you’ll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph
(160 km/h) where it is legal, raise the cold inflation
pressure of each tire to
35 psi (240 kPa). When you end
this very high-speed driving, reduce the cold inflation
pressures to those listed on the Tire-Loading
Information label.
NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires
don’t have enough air (underinflation), you can
get the following:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
0 Tire overloading
0 Bad wear
0 Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get the following:
0 Unusual wear
0 Bad handling
Rough ride
0 Needless damage from road hazards.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be
at
60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by lookrng at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10
000 to 13 000 km). Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check
wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or
wheels. See “When It’s Time for New Tires” and
“Wheel Replacement” later in this section for
more information. The
purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear
for all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the
most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.

If you don’t have P245/5OZR16 Goodyear Eagle GS-C
tires or P275/4OZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1-GS tires, use
the rotation pattern shown above for your tires.

If you have P24950ZR16 Goodyear Eagle GS-C tires
or P275/40ZR17 Goodyear Eagle
F1 -GS tires, they
must roll in a certain direction for the best overall
performance. The direction
is shown by an arrow on
the sidewall. Because these tires are directional, they
should be rotated as shown here. These tires should
only be moved from front to rear and rear to front on
the same side of the vehicle.
Don’t include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation. \
After the tires have been
rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown
on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all
wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque”
in
the Index.
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which
it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose
after a time. The wheel could come
off and cause
an accident. When you change a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can
use
a cloth or a paper towel to do this; but be
sure to use
a scraper or wire brush later, if you
need
to, to get all the rust or dirt off. (See
“Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index.)
