Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged
safety belt system parts. If you see anything that might
keep a safety belt system from doing its job, have it
repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken
air bag coverings,
and have them repaired or’replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace blade
inserts that appear
worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see “Wiper Blades.
Cleaning” in the Index.
Manual Transmission Check
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See
“Manual Transmission” in the Index. Check for leaks.
A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired
if needed. It is
not necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. Check for leaks.
If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to
your
GM dealership Service Department and have it
repaired as
soon as possible.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified in Part D.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all body door hinges. Also lubricate all hinges
and latches, including those for the hood, rear
compartment, console door and any folding seat
hardware.
Part D tells you what to use. More frequent
lubrication may be required when exposed to a
corrosive environment.

Engine Oil meeting GM Standard
GM4718M. Oils meeting this
Standard may be identified as
synthetic, and should
also be
identified with the American
Petroleum Institute Certified For Gasoline Engines “Starburst” symbol. However, not all
Synthetic API oils with the
Starburst symbol will meet this
GM Standard. You should look for
and use only an oil that meets GM
Standard GM47 18M. For the
proper viscosity, see “Engine Oil”
in the Index.
