Additional
Maintenance and Care
Your vehicle is an important
investment and caring for it properly
may help to avoid future costly
repairs. To maintain vehicle
performance, additional
maintenance services may be
required.
It is recommended that your dealer
perform these services—their
trained dealer technicians know
your vehicle best. Your dealer can
also perform a thorough
assessment with a multi-point
inspection to recommend when your
vehicle may need attention.
The following list is intended to
explain the services and conditions
to look for that may indicate
services are required. Battery

to start the engine and operate any
additional electrical accessories.
.

start the vehicle, maintain a
battery with full cranking power.

the diagnostic equipment to test
the battery and ensure that the
connections and cables are
corrosion-free.

squeak or show signs of
cracking or splitting.
. Trained dealer technicians have
access to tools and equipment
to inspect the belts and
recommend adjustment or
replacement when necessary. Brakes

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

engineered for the vehicle.

fluids protect the vehicle’s systems
and components. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0413 for GM approved
fluids.

washer fluid levels should be
checked at every fuel fill.
