2004 CHEVROLET TRACKER automatic transmission

{CAUTION:
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle
can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you
or other people. You and they could be badly
injured or even killed. Find a level place to
change your tire. To help prevent the vehicle
from moving:
1. Set the parking brake ®rmly.
2. Put an automatic transmission shift lever
in PARK (P), or shift a manual
transmission to FIRST (1) or
REVERSE (R).
3. If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle,
be sure the transfer case is in a drive
gear Ð not in NEUTRAL.
4. Turn off the engine and do not restart
while the vehicle is raised.
5. Do not allow passengers to remain in the
vehicle.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
To be even more certain the vehicle won't
move, you can put blocks at the front and rear
of the tire farthest away from the one being
changed. That would be the tire on the other
side, at the opposite end of the vehicle.

Short Trip/City De®nition
Follow the Short Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance if any
one of these conditions is true for your vehicle:
·Most trips are less than 5 miles (8 km). This is
particularly important when outside temperatures
are below freezing.
·Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent
driving in stop-and-go traffic).
·You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top
of your vehicle.
·If the vehicle is used for delivery service, police,
taxi or other commercial application.
One of the reasons you should follow this schedule if
you operate your vehicle under any of these conditions
is that these conditions cause engine oil to break
down sooner.
Short Trip/City Intervals
Every 3,000 Miles (5 000 km):Engine Oil and Filter
Change (or 3 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
Every 6,000 Miles (10 000 km):Passenger
Compartment Air Filter Inspection (If Equipped).
Tire Rotation.
Every 15,000 Miles (25 000 km):Engine Air Cleaner
Filter Inspection. Automatic Transmission Service
(severe conditions only). Manual Transmission Fluid
Change. Transfer Case Fluid Change. Differential Fluid
Change. Propeller Shafts and U-Joints Inspection
(or every 15 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
Every 30,000 Miles (50 000 km):Engine Air Cleaner
Filter Replacement. Air Filter Replacement (If Equipped).
Ignition Coil Plug Cap Inspection (or every 30 months,
whichever occurs ®rst). Engine Accessory Drive Belt
Inspection (or every 30 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
Cooling System Service (or every 30 months,
whichever occurs ®rst). Fuel Tank, Cap, and Lines
Inspection. Fuel Filter Replacement (or every 30 months,
whichever occurs ®rst).
6-5

Every 45,000 Miles (75 000 km):Automatic
Transmission Fluid Hose Inspection (or every
45 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
Every 60,000 Miles (100 000 km):Fuel Tank Cap
Gasket Replacement. Emission System Hoses
Inspection. Brake Fluid Service. Spark Plug
Replacement.
Every 100,000 Miles (166 000 km):Automatic
Transmission Service (normal conditions).
Every 120 000 Miles (200 000 km):Evaporative
Emissions Canister and Air Suction Filter Replacement
(or every 120 months, whichever occurs ®rst). Engine
Accessory Drive Belt Replacement (or every
120 months, whichever occurs ®rst).
These intervals only summarize maintenance services.
Be sure to follow the complete scheduled maintenance
on the following pages.
Long Trip/Highway De®nition
Follow this scheduled maintenanceonlyif none of the
conditions from the Short Trip/City Scheduled
Maintenance are true. Do not use this schedule if the
vehicle is used for trailer towing, driven in a dusty area
or used off paved roads. Use the Short Trip/City
schedule for these conditions.
Driving a vehicle with a fully warmed engine under
highway conditions will cause engine oil to break down
slower.
Long Trip/Highway Intervals
Every 7,500 Miles (12 500 km):Engine Oil and Filter
Change (or every 7.5 months, whichever occurs
®rst). Tire Rotation.
Every 15,000 Miles (25 000 km):Engine Air Cleaner

Be sure to follow the complete scheduled maintenance
on the following pages.
Short Trip/City Scheduled
Maintenance
The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles

(166 000 km) at the same intervals for the life of
this vehicle. The service shown at 120,000 miles
(200 000 km) should be repeated at the same interval
after 120,000 miles (200 000 km) for the life of this
vehicle.

Footnotes
²The 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.
+A good time to check your brakes is during tire
rotation. See Brake System Inspection on page 6-29.
