10-4 Vehicle Care Warning (Continued)Your vehicle ’ s warranty may not
cover damage resulting from
alterations, modifications,
installation of non-approved
accessories, or improper
installation of accessories. Refer
to your Warranty Information
Booklet for complete details.
Variable Voltage Control System
{ Caution .
Do not ground accessories
directly to the battery
terminal. Doing so will bypass
the variable voltage control
system and the vehicle
battery many not charge
completely. .
Use electrical accessories
with the engine running to
avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
variable voltage control system.
This system measures the amount
of electrical discharge from the
battery and controls voltage
generated by the generator. The
current sensor is located near the
battery along the negative battery
cable. If you add electrical
accessories to your vehicle, be sure
to ground them to a suitable body
ground such as the frame or engine
block area. Vehicle Checks Doing Your Own
Service Work
{ WarningIt can be dangerous to work on
your vehicle if you do not have
the proper knowledge, service
manual, tools, or parts. Always
follow owner manual procedures
and consult the service manual
for your vehicle before doing any
service work.
If doing some of your own service
work, use the proper service
manual. It tells you much more
about how to service the vehicle
than this manual can. To order the
proper service manual, see Service
Publications Ordering Information
on page 13-11 .

page 3-28 .
Keep a record with all parts receipts
and list the mileage and the date of
any service work performed. See
Maintenance Records on
page 11-13 .
{ CautionEven small amounts of
contamination can cause damage
to vehicle systems. Do not allow
contaminants to contact the fluids,
reservoir caps, or dipsticks. Hood To open the hood:
1. Pull the hood lock release
handle located below the

performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine oil.
Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect
your investment: .
Always use engine oil approved
to the proper specification and of
the proper viscosity grade. See
“ Selecting the Right Engine Oil ”
in this section. .
Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See “ Checking
Engine Oil ” and “ When to Add
Engine Oil ” in this section. .
Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See
Maintenance Schedule on
page 11-3 . .
Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “ What to Do with
Used Oil ” in this section. Checking Engine Oil It is a good idea to check the engine
oil level at each fuel fill. In order to
get an accurate reading, the vehicle
must be on level ground. The
engine oil dipstick handle is a loop.
See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 10-7 for the location of the
engine oil dipstick.
Obtaining an accurate oil level
reading is essential:
1. If the engine has been running
recently, turn off the engine and
allow several minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
Checking the oil level too soon
after engine shutoff will not
provide an accurate oil level
reading.
{ Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.

Fuses and Circuit
Breakers The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the
chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
Look at the silver-colored band
inside the fuse. If the band is broken
or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure
you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.
Spare fuses are provided and can
be found in the passenger
compartment fuse box. Engine Compartment
Fuse Block
The fuse block is in the engine
compartment of the vehicle.
Remove the cover by pushing the
tab and lifting the cover up. Fusible Links
If the electrical equipment does not
operate and fuses are in good
condition, check the fusible links.
If any of these fusible links are
melted, replace with only Genuine
GMus parts.
{ Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may
damage it. Always keep the
covers on any electrical
component.

high-quality tires made by a
leading tire manufacturer. See
the warranty manual for
information regarding the tire
warranty and where to get
service. For additional
information refer to the tire
manufacturer.
{ Warning .
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires are
dangerous. .
Overloading the tires can
cause overheating as a
result of too much flexing.
There could be a blowout
(Continued) Warning (Continued)
and a serious crash. See
Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9-9 . .
Underinflated tires pose
the same danger as
overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could
cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently
to maintain the
recommended pressure.
Tire pressure should be
checked when the tires
are cold. .
Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when
hitting a pothole. Keep
tires at the recommended
pressure.
