Localizing-U.S.-12407814) - 2019 - crc - 12/13/17
Service and Maintenance 329
.Frequent short trips of less than
16 kilometers (10 miles) in sub-
freezing temperatures
. Frequent and extended low-
speed engine operation (door-
to- door deliveries, stop- and- go
traffic, etc.)
. Driving on unpaved roads with
heavy dust
. Towing a trailer
Power Take Off (PTO) and
Extended Idle Use
When the vehicle is used with the
PTO equipment or used in a way
that requires extended idle time,
one hour of use shall be deemed
the same as 33 miles. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) 082 for
hourmeter.
Preventive Maintenance
As any mechanical device operates,
a certain amount of wear occurs.
The amount of wear depends on
certain variables –type and method
of operation and the schedule of
maintenance. These variables may be emphasized as critical to
malfunction but each is dependent
upon the other. For example, if a
vehicle is repeatedly overloaded,
driven at excessive speed or
improperly shifted, no schedule of
maintenance can prevent
malfunction. Also, if a preventive
maintenance schedule is not
followed, or is improperly carried
out, no amount of correct vehicle
operation will prevent malfunction.
If vehicle application, operation and
preventive maintenance schedules
and procedures are followed and
properly carried out, the life of the
vehicle will be greatly extended.
For example, regular attention to the
engine oil is essential. The oil level
must be periodically checked and oil
added whenever needed. Also, the
oil should be changed at the
intervals specified with the proper
quality and viscosity of oil. If your
engine should run excessively low
on oil or if the oil has lost its
lubricating qualities because of old
age, serious engine damage could
occur.

Insuring the Vehicle
Protect your investment in the GM
vehicle with comprehensive and
collision insurance coverage. There
are significant differences in the
quality of coverage afforded by
various insurance policy terms.
Many insurance policies provide
reduced protection to the GM
vehicle by limiting compensation for
damage repairs through the use of
aftermarket collision parts. Some
insurance companies will not
specify aftermarket collision parts.
When purchasing insurance, we
recommend that you ensure that the
vehicle will be repaired with GM
original equipment collision parts.
If such insurance coverage is not
available from your current
insurance carrier, consider switching
to another insurance carrier.
If the vehicle is leased, the leasing
company may require you to have
insurance that ensures repairs with
Genuine GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer replacementparts. Read the lease carefully, as
you may be charged at the end of
the lease for poor quality repairs.
If a Crash Occurs
If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help. Do not
leave the scene of a crash until all
matters have been taken care of.
Move the vehicle only if its position
puts you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a police
officer.
Give only the necessary information
to police and other parties involved
in the crash.
For emergency towing see
Roadside Assistance Program

367.
Gather the following information:
. Driver name, address, and
telephone number.
. Driver license number.
. Owner name, address, and
telephone number.
. Vehicle license plate number. .
Vehicle make, model, and
model year.
. Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN).
. Insurance company and policy
number.
. General description of the
damage to the other vehicle.
Choose a reputable repair facility
that uses quality replacement parts.
See “Collision Parts” earlier in this
section.
Managing the Vehicle Damage
Repair Process
In the event that the vehicle requires
damage repairs, GM recommends
that you take an active role in its
repair. If you have a pre-determined
repair facility of choice, take the
vehicle there, or have it towed there.
Specify to the facility that any
required replacement collision parts
be original equipment parts, either
new Genuine GM parts or recycled
original GM parts. Remember,
recycled parts will not be covered by
the GM vehicle warranty.
