Care section of this manual. Outside the Vehicle
The maintenance items listed here
should be performed from time to
time, unless otherwise specified.
Doors and engine hood* :
Check
that the doors and engine hood
operate properly. Also ensure that
all latches lock securely. Lubricate
hinges, latches, latch pins, rollers,
and links if necessary.
Make sure that the secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road
salt or other corrosive materials,
check lubrication frequently.

a regular basis. Make sure that the
headlamps, stoplamps, taillamps,
turn signal lamps, and other lights
are all operating properly and
installed securely. Also check
headlamp aim. Road wheel nuts (lug nuts) :
When checking the tires, make sure
no wheel nuts are missing, and
check for any loose wheel nuts.
Tighten if necessary.
Tire rotation* :
Tires should be
rotated every 8 000 km (5,000 mi).
Tires* : Check the pressure with a
gauge often and always prior to long
distance trips. If necessary, adjust
the pressure in all tires, including
the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts,
or excessive wear.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) transmitter components :
Replace the TPMS transmitter
grommet seal, valve core, and cap
when the tires are replaced due to
wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance : If
the vehicle pulls to either side while

wheel or seat vibrates at normal
highway speeds, wheel balancing
may be needed.
For additional information regarding
tires, refer to the warranty manual.
Windshield :Clean the windshield
on a regular basis. Check the
windshield at least every six months
for cracks or other damage. Have a
damaged windshield repaired by a
qualified repair facility.
Windshield wiper blades* : Check
for cracks or wear if they do not
wipe properly.
Inside the Vehicle
The maintenance items listed here
should be checked on a regular
basis, such as when performing
scheduled maintenance, cleaning
the vehicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal : Check the
pedal for smooth operation and
make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the
floor mat away from the pedal. Brake pedal :
Check the pedal for
smooth operation. If the brake pedal
suddenly goes down further than
normal, if the pedal feels spongy,
or if the vehicle seems to take
longer to stop, have your vehicle
checked immediately. It is
recommended that you see your
dealer for this service. Keep the
floor mat away from the pedal.
Brakes : Check that the brakes do
not pull the vehicle to one side
when applied.
Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) P (Park)
position mechanism : On a fairly
steep hill check that the vehicle is
held securely with the shift lever in
the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.
Parking brake : Check the parking
brake operation regularly. The
vehicle should be securely held on
a fairly steep hill with only the
parking brake applied. If the parking
brake needs adjustment, it is
recommended that you see your
dealer for this service. Seats :
Check seat position controls
such as seat adjusters, seatback
recliner, etc., to ensure they operate
smoothly and all latches lock
securely in every position. Check
that the head restraints/headrests
move up and down smoothly and
the locks (if equipped) hold securely
in all latched positions.
Seat belts : Check that all parts of
the seat belt system (for example,
buckles, anchors, adjusters, and
retractors) operate properly and
smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts,
fraying, wear, or damage.
Steering wheel : Check for
changes in the steering system,
such as excessive free play, hard
steering, or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes : Make
sure all warning lights and chimes
are operating properly.
Windshield defroster : Check that
the air comes out of the defroster
outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater
or air conditioner.

Service and Maintenance 255
Brakes
Brakes stop the vehicle and are
crucial to safe driving.
.Signs of brake wear may include
chirping, grinding, or squealing
noises, or difficulty stopping.
. Trained dealer technicians have
access to tools and equipment
to inspect the brakes and
recommend quality parts
engineered for the vehicle.
Fluids
Proper fluid levels and approved
fluids protect the vehicle’s systems
and components. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0257 for GM approved
fluids.
. Engine oil and windshield
washer fluid levels should be
checked at every fuel fill.
. Instrument cluster lights may
come on to indicate that fluids
may be low and need to be
filled. Hoses
Hoses transport fluids and should
be regularly inspected to ensure
that there are no cracks or leaks.
With a multi-point inspection, your
dealer can inspect the hoses and
advise if replacement is needed.
Lamps
Properly working headlamps,
taillamps, and brake lamps are
important to see and be seen on
the road.
.
Signs that the headlamps need
attention include dimming, failure
to light, cracking, or damage.
The brake lamps need to be
checked periodically to ensure
that they light when braking.
. With a multi-point inspection,
your dealer can check the lamps
and note any concerns. Shocks and Struts

for a smoother ride.
.
Signs of wear may include
steering wheel vibration, bounce/
sway while braking, longer
stopping distance, or uneven
tire wear.
. As part of the multi-point
inspection, trained dealer
technicians can visually inspect
the shocks and struts for signs
of leaking, blown seals,
or damage, and can advise
when service is needed.
Tires
Tires need to be properly inflated,
rotated, and balanced. Maintaining
the tires can save money and fuel,
and can reduce the risk of tire
failure.
. Signs that the tires need to be
replaced include three or more
visible treadwear indicators; cord
or fabric showing through the
