382 Service and Maintenance
Replacement Fasteners
During vehicle maintenance, any
fasteners used to replace older
ones must have the same
measurements and strength as
those removed, whether metric or
customary. Fasteners taken from
the vehicle should be saved for
reuse in the same location when
possible. Where a fastener cannot
be used again, take care to choose
a replacement that matches the old
one. For information and help, see
your dealer.
{Warning
This vehicle is primarily
dimensioned in the metric system.
Most fasteners are metric and
many are very close in dimension
to well-known customary
fasteners in the inch system.
Mismatched or incorrect fasteners
can result in damage to the
vehicle or possibly personal
injury.

If your air conditioning system is
functioning properly, it is not
necessary to remove and replace
the refrigerant or compressor oil.
. A V-ribbed belt is used for the
fan belt. This type of belt
requires the tension to be
adjusted more accurately than is
required with the conventional V
belt. Inappropriate tension could
cause the belt to make noise or
break. When the fan belt is
damaged, electricity is not
properly generated or becomes
a cause of engine overheating.
You must check the tension of
the fan belt carefully.
. Use dealer-certified genuine
parts when changing the
fan belt. .
Have the vehicle inspected and
serviced at your dealer.
. The air conditioning drive belt,
if equipped, must be adjusted
after fan belt adjustment. If the
belt is not adjusted properly, the
A/C belt may experience
excessive tension, and possible
premature failure.

Customer Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Chevrolet. Normally, any concerns
with the sales transaction or the
operation of the Chevrolet chassis,
or upfitted rear body will be resolved
by your dealer's sales or service
departments. Sometimes, however,
despite the best intentions of all
concerned, misunderstandings can
occur. If your concern has not been
resolved to your satisfaction, the
following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE : Discuss your concern
with a member of dealership
management. Normally, concerns
can be quickly resolved at that level.
If the matter has already been
reviewed with the sales, service,
or parts manager, contact the owner
of your dealership or the general
manager.
