Tire Inspection
We recommend that the tires,
including the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, be inspected
for signs of wear or damage at
least once a month.
Replace the tire if:
.The indicators at three or
more places around the tire
can be seen.
.There is cord or fabric
showing through the tire's
rubber.
.The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show cord or
fabric.
.The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
.The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot
be repaired well because of
the size or location of the
damage.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
8 000 km (5,000 mi). See
Maintenance Schedule0246.
Tires are rotated to achieve a
uniform wear for all tires. The
first rotation is the most
important.
Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as soon
as possible, check for proper tire
inflation pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is Time
for New Tires 0214 andWheel
Replacement 0219.
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating the tires.
Do not include the spare tire in
the tire rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tires to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated.
See Tire Pressure 0208 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0140.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation 0211.

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.

such as seat adjusters, seatback

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.

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

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.
