Engine power and under certain
conditions, vehicle speed will
decrease. Vehicle speed can be
controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the vehicle may not
accelerate at the desired speed.
The transmission will downshift or
upshift as it reaches prescribed shift
points. You can also shift manually.
As driving conditions change and
engine coolant temperature is
reduced, vehicle speed can be
increased using the accelerator
pedal, and air conditioning cooling
function will automatically be turned
back ON.
If:1. The engine coolant temperature is not reduced.
2. The air conditioning cooling function does not turn
back ON.
3. The engine oil pressure low/ engine coolant temperature
high warning light illuminates,
this may indicate a malfunction.
Move the vehicle off the road in
a safe area and allow the engine to cool. If after checking
the oil and coolant, the oil
pressure low/engine coolant
temperature high warning light
remains on, do not continue to
drive. Call your dealer.
The malfunction indicator light may
also come on. If only it remains on,
you do not need to have the vehicle
towed, but have it inspected soon
by your dealer. For additional
information, see Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 091.
Washer Fluid
What to Use
When the vehicle needs windshield
washer fluid, read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an
area where the temperature may fall
below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid until
the reservoir is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0181 for
reservoir location.
Caution
. Do not use washer fluid that
contains any type of water
repellent coating. This can
cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.

(7) Service Description:The
service description indicates the
load index and speed rating of a
tire. If two numbers are given as
in the example, 120/116, then
this represents the load index for
single versus dual wheel usage
(single/dual). The speed rating is
the maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load. This
does not apply to Goodyear
LT225/75R16 G949 RSA and
Goodyear LT225/75R16 G933
RSD commercial truck tires; see
the dual tire and single tire
maximum load and load range
letter designations on the tire
sidewall.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air Pressure:The amount of
air inside the tire pressing
outward on each square inch of
the tire. Air pressure is
expressed in kPa (kilopascal)
or psi (pounds per square inch). Accessory Weight
:The
combined weight of optional
accessories. Some examples of
optional accessories are
automatic transmission, power
windows, power seats, and air
conditioning.
Aspect Ratio
:The relationship
of a tire's height to its width.
Belt
:A rubber coated layer of
cords between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing
materials.
Bead
:The tire bead contains
steel wires wrapped by steel
cords that hold the tire onto
the rim.
Bias Ply Tire
:A pneumatic tire
in which the plies are laid at
alternate angles less than
90 degrees to the centerline of
the tread. Cold Tire Pressure
:The
amount of air pressure in a tire,
measured in kPa (kilopascal)
or psi (pounds per square inch)
before a tire has built up heat
from driving. See Tire Pressure
0 208.
Curb Weight
:The weight of a
motor vehicle with standard and
optional equipment including the
maximum capacity of fuel, oil,
and coolant, but without
passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings
:A code molded
into the sidewall of a tire
signifying that the tire is in
compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation
(DOT) Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. The DOT code
includes the Tire Identification
Number (TIN), an alphanumeric
designator which can also
identify the tire manufacturer,
production plant, brand, and
date of production.

Service and Maintenance 247
Engine air filter :Replace at
specified intervals. When driving for
prolonged periods in dusty
conditions, check/replace the filter
more frequently.
Engine coolant* : Replace coolant
at the specified interval. When
adding or replacing coolant, be sure
to use only prediluted ACDelco CE
Long Life Antifreeze Coolant (blue)
or equivalent. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0257.
Mixing any other type of coolant or
using non-distilled water may
reduce the recommended service
interval of the coolant.
Engine oil and oil filter : Replace
engine oil and oil filter at the
specified intervals. For
recommended oil grade and
viscosity, see Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants 0257.
Engine valve clearance* : Inspect
only if valve noise increases. Adjust
valve clearance if necessary. Evaporative emissions control
vapor lines :
Check vapor lines for
leaks or looseness. Tighten
connections or replace parts as
necessary.
Fuel lines* : Check the fuel hoses,
piping, and connections for leaks,
looseness, or deterioration. Tighten
connections or replace parts as
necessary.
Spark plugs : Replace at specified
intervals. Install new plugs of the
same type as originally equipped.
Chassis and Body Maintenance
Brake lines and cables : Visually
inspect for proper installation.
Check for chafing, cracks,
deterioration, and signs of leaking.
Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately.
Brake pads, rotors, drums, and
linings : Check for wear,
deterioration, and fluid leaks.
Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately. Exhaust system :
Visually inspect
the exhaust pipes, muffler, and
hangers for leaks, cracks,
