Seats and Restraints 63
Adding Equipment to the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Adding accessories that change the
vehicle's frame, bumper system,
height, front end, or side sheet
metal may keep the airbag system
from working properly.
The operation of the airbag system
can also be affected by changing
any parts of the front seats, seat
belts, airbag sensing and diagnostic
module, steering wheel, instrument
panel, inner door seals including the
speakers, any of the airbag
modules, ceiling or pillar garnish
trim, front sensors, side impact
sensors, or airbag wiring.
Your dealer and the service manual
have information about the location
of the airbag sensors, sensing and
diagnostic module, and airbag
wiring.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the
front outboard passenger position,
which includes sensors that are part
of the passenger seat. The
passenger sensing system may notoperate properly if the original seat
trim is replaced with non-GM
covers, upholstery, or trim; or with
GM covers, upholstery, or trim
designed for a different vehicle. Any
object, such as an aftermarket seat
heater or a comfort-enhancing pad
or device, installed under or on top
of the seat fabric, could also
interfere with the operation of the
passenger sensing system. This
could either prevent proper
deployment of the passenger
airbag(s) or prevent the passenger
sensing system from properly
turning off the passenger airbag(s).
See
Passenger Sensing System
0 56.
If the vehicle has rollover roof-rail
airbags, see Different Size Tires
and Wheels 0216 for additional
important information.
If you have to modify your vehicle
because you have a disability and
have questions about whether the
modifications will affect the vehicle's
airbag system, or if you have
questions about whether the airbag
system will be affected if the vehicle is modified for any other reason, call
Customer Assistance. See
Customer Assistance Offices
0265.
Airbag System Check
The airbag system does not need
regularly scheduled maintenance or
replacement. Make sure the airbag
readiness light is working. See
Airbag Readiness Light 089.
Caution
If an airbag covering is damaged,
opened, or broken, the airbag
may not work properly. Do not
open or break the airbag
coverings. If there are any
opened or broken airbag
coverings, have the airbag
covering and/or airbag module
replaced. For the location of the
airbags, see Where Are the
Airbags? 051. See your dealer
for service.

follow the maintenance schedule
for changing engine oil.
This light should come on briefly as
the engine is started. If it does not
come on, have the vehicle serviced
by your dealer.

could be low on oil and might have
some other system problem. See
your dealer.

General Information
Maintenance Requirements
Some regular maintenance is
essential to maintain the vehicle’s
mechanical condition, as well as its
emissions and engine performance.
It is the owner ’s responsibility to
make sure that the scheduled
maintenance, as well as general
maintenance, is performed.
As the vehicle owner, you are the
only one who can ensure that your
vehicle receives proper
maintenance. You are a vital link in
the maintenance chain.
General Maintenance
General maintenance includes
those items that should be checked
during normal day-to-day operation.
They are essential for proper
vehicle operation. It is your
responsibility to perform these
procedures regularly as prescribed. Performing general maintenance
checks requires minimal mechanical
skill and only a few general
automotive tools.
These checks or inspections can be
done by yourself, a qualified
technician, or, if you prefer, your
dealer.
Scheduled Maintenance
The maintenance items listed in this
section are required to be serviced
at regular intervals. However, under
severe driving conditions, additional
or more frequent maintenance will
be required.
Where to go for Service
If maintenance service is required or
your vehicle appears to malfunction,
have the systems checked and
serviced. It is recommended that
you visit your dealer for this service.
Chevrolet technicians are
well-trained specialists and are kept
up to date with the latest service
information through technical
bulletins, service tips, and training
programs.

248 Service and Maintenance
Maintenance Schedules
To help ensure smooth, safe, and
economical driving, two
maintenance schedules are
provided, depending upon the
conditions in which you usually
drive. These schedules contain both
distance and time intervals, up to
160 000 km (100,000 mi)/
120 months. For most people, the
odometer reading will indicate when
service is needed. However, if you
drive very little, your vehicle should
be serviced at the regular time
intervals shown in the schedule.
After 160 000 km (100,000 mi)/
120 months, continue maintenance
at the same mileage/time intervals.
Additional Maintenance Items for
Severe Operating Conditions
Additional maintenance items for
severe operating conditions should
be performed on vehicles that are
driven under especially demanding
conditions. Additional maintenanceitems should be performed if you
primarily operate your vehicle under
the following conditions:
.
Repeated short trips of less than
8 km (5 mi).
. Repeated short trips of less than
16 km (10 mi) with outside
temperatures remaining below
freezing.
. Operating in hot weather in
stop-and-go “rush hour”traffic.
. Extensive idling and/or low
speed driving for long distances,
such as police, taxi,
or door-to-door delivery use.
. Driving in dusty conditions.
. Driving on rough, muddy, or salt
spread roads.
. Using a car-top carrier.
For vehicles operated in Canada,
both standard and severe
maintenance items should be
performed at every interval.
Standard Maintenance
The following tables show the
standard maintenance schedule.
Depending upon weather and
atmospheric conditions, varying
road surfaces, individual driving
habits, and vehicle usage, additional
or more frequent maintenance may
be required. After 160 000 km
(100,000 mi)/120 months, continue
maintenance at the same mileage/
time interval.
