products can be obtained
from your dealer. Follow all
manufacturer directions
regarding correct product
usage, necessary safety
precautions, and
appropriate disposal of any
vehicle care product.
Caution
Avoid using high-pressure
washes closer than 30 cm
(12 in) to the surface of the
vehicle. Use of power
washers exceeding
8 274 kPa (1,200 psi) can
result in damage or removal
of paint and decals.
If using an automatic car wash,
follow the car wash
instructions. The windshield
wiper and rear window wiper,
if equipped, must be off. Remove any accessories that
may be damaged or interfere
with the car wash equipment.
Rinse the vehicle well, before
washing and after, to remove
all cleaning agents completely.
If they are allowed to dry on
the surface, they could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft, clean
chamois or an all-cotton towel
to avoid surface scratches
and water spotting.
Cleaning Underhood
Components
Caution
Do not power wash any
component under the hood
that has this
esymbol.
This could cause damage
that would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Solvents or aggressive
cleaners may harm underhood
components. The usages of
these chemicals should be
avoided.

replacement parts will provide
the corrosion protection while
maintaining the vehicle
warranty.
Finish Damage
Quickly repair minor chips and
scratches with touch-up
materials available from your
dealer to avoid corrosion.
Larger areas of finish damage
can be corrected in your
dealer's body and paint shop.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and attack painted
vehicle surfaces causing
blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small,
irregular dark spots etched
into the paint surface. See
“Finish Care”previously in this
section.
Interior Care
To prevent dirt particle
abrasions, regularly clean the
vehicle's interior. Before using cleaners, read and follow all
safety instructions on the
label. While cleaning the
interior, open the doors and
windows to get proper
ventilation. Newspapers or
dark garments can transfer
color to the vehicle’s interior.
Caution
Immediately remove
cleaners, hand lotions,
sunscreen, and insect
repellent from all interior
surfaces or permanent
damage may result.
Caution
Use cleaners specifically
designed for the surfaces
being cleaned to prevent
permanent damage to the
vehicle. Apply all cleaners
directly to a cleaning cloth.
Do not spray cleaners on
any switches or controls.
When using liquid soap
cleaners, follow the directions
on the specific cleaner or soap
solution for dilution
instructions.
Caution
To prevent damage:
.Never use a razor or any
other sharp object to
remove soil from any
interior surface
.Never use a brush with
stiff bristles.
.Never rub any surface
aggressively or with too
much pressure.
.Do not get any exposed
electrical components wet.
.Do not use laundry
detergents or dishwashing
soaps with degreasers. Do
not use solutions that
contain strong or
caustic soap.

418 Vehicle Care
Caution (Continued)
.Do not heavily saturate
the upholstery when
cleaning.
.Do not use solvents or
cleaners containing
solvents.
.Do not use disinfecting
wipes that are scented or
contain bleach. Do not use
wipes or cleaners that
show a color transfer to
the wipe or change the
appearance of the interior
surface when used.
.Do not use scented or
gel-type hand sanitizers.
If hand sanitizer comes in
contact with interior
surfaces of the vehicle,
blot immediately and clean
with a soft cloth
dampened with a mild
soap and water solution.
Interior Glass
To clean, use a microfiber
cloth fabric dampened with
water. Wipe droplets left
behind with a clean dry cloth.
If necessary, use a commercial
glass cleaner after cleaning
with plain water.
Caution
To prevent scratching, never
use abrasive cleaners on
automotive glass. Abrasive
cleaners or aggressive
cleaning may damage the
rear window defogger.
Cleaning the windshield with
water during the first three to
six months of ownership will
reduce tendency to fog.
Speaker Covers
Vacuum around a speaker
cover gently, so that the
speaker will not be damaged.
Clean spots with water and
mild soap.
Coated Moldings
Coated moldings should be
cleaned.
.When lightly soiled, wipe
with a sponge or soft,
lint-free cloth dampened
with water.
.When heavily soiled, use
warm soapy water.
Vinyl/Rubber
If equipped with vinyl floor and
rubber floor mats, use a soft
cloth and/or brush dampened
with water to remove dust and
loose dirt. For more thorough
cleaning, use a mild soap and
water solution.
{Warning

appearance and feel of the
vinyl/rubber and can make
the floor slippery. Your foot
could slip while operating
the vehicle, and you could
lose control, resulting in a
crash. You or others could
be injured.
Fabric/Carpet/Suede
Start by vacuuming the
surface using a soft brush
attachment. If a rotating
vacuum brush attachment is
being used, only use it on the
floor carpet. Before cleaning,
gently remove as much of the
soil as possible:
.Gently blot liquids with a
paper towel. Continue
blotting until no more soil
can be removed.
.For solid soils, remove as
much as possible prior to
vacuuming.To clean:
1. Saturate a clean, lint-free colorfast cloth with water.
Microfiber cloth is
recommended to prevent
lint transfer to the fabric
or carpet.
2. Remove excess moisture by gently wringing until
water does not drip from
the cleaning cloth.
3. Start on the outside edge of the soil and gently rub
toward the center. Fold
the cleaning cloth to a
clean area frequently to
prevent forcing the soil
into the fabric.
4. Continue gently rubbing the soiled area until there
is no longer any color
transfer from the soil to
the cleaning cloth.
5. If the soil is not completely removed, use a mild soap
solution followed only by
plain water. If the soil is not completely
removed, it may be necessary
to use a commercial
upholstery cleaner or spot
lifter. Test a small hidden area
for colorfastness before using
a commercial upholstery
cleaner or spot lifter. If ring
formation occurs, clean the
entire fabric or carpet.
After cleaning, use a paper
towel to blot excess moisture.
Cleaning High Gloss
Surfaces and Vehicle
Information and Radio
Displays
Use a microfiber cloth on high
gloss surfaces or vehicle
displays. First, use a soft
bristle brush to remove dirt
that can scratch the surface.
Then gently clean by rubbing
with a microfiber cloth. Never
use window cleaners or
solvents. Periodically hand
wash the microfiber cloth
separately, using mild soap. Do

may also be needed if you
notice reduced airflow,
windows fogging up,
or odors. Your local GM
Service location can help you
determine when it is the
right time to replace your
filter.
Every 96 000 km (60,000 mi)
.Replace spark plugs. Inspect
spark plug wires and/or
boots.
Every 161 000 km
(100,000 mi)
.Replace hood and/or body
lift support gas struts. Or

rear axle output seals. High
pressure water can
overcome the seals and contaminate the transfer
case fluid. Contaminated
fluid will decrease the life of
the transfer case and/or
axles and should be
replaced.
.Drain and fill engine cooling
system. Or every six years,
whichever comes first. See
Cooling System
