General
Information
Your vehicle is an important
investment. This section
describes the required
maintenance for the vehicle.
Follow this schedule to help
protect against major repair
expenses resulting from
neglect or inadequate
maintenance. It may also help
to maintain the value of the
vehicle if it is sold. It is the
responsibility of the owner to
have all required maintenance
performed.
Your dealer has trained
technicians who can perform
required maintenance using
genuine replacement parts.
They have up-to-date tools
and equipment for fast and
accurate diagnostics. Many
dealers have extended
evening and Saturday hours,
courtesy transportation, and
online scheduling to assist
with service needs. Your dealer recognizes the
importance of providing
competitively priced
maintenance and repair
services. With trained
technicians, the dealer is the
place for routine maintenance
such as oil changes and tire
rotations and additional
maintenance items like tires,
brakes, batteries, and wiper
blades.
Caution
Damage caused by improper
maintenance can lead to
costly repairs and may not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Maintenance
intervals, checks,
inspections, recommended
fluids, and lubricants are
important to keep the
vehicle in good working
condition.
Do not have chemical
flushes that are not
approved by GM performed
