trunk/liftgate, do not
operate. Have the vehicle
serviced.
Caution
Do not apply tape or hang
any objects from gas struts.

Headlamp Aiming
Front Headlamp
Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset
and should need no further
adjustment.
If the vehicle is damaged in a
crash, the headlamp aim may
be affected. If adjustment to
the headlamps is necessary,
see your dealer.

3. Use the fuse puller toremove the fuse from the
top or side, as shown
above. 4. If the fuse must be
replaced immediately,
borrow a replacement fuse
with the same amperage
from the fuse block.
Choose a vehicle feature
that is not needed to
safely operate the vehicle.
Repeat Steps 2-3.
5. Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of
the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see
your dealer to replace the
blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may
cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain
off. Have the headlamp wiring
checked right away if the
lamps go on and off or
remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the
windshield wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will
then restart.
Although the circuit is
protected from electrical
overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause
wiper linkage damage. Always
clear ice and heavy snow from
the windshield before using
the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not
snow or ice, be sure to get it
fixed.
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in the
vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit breakers.
This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by
electrical problems.

Warning (Continued)
When replacing wheels, use
a new GM original
equipment wheel.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also
cause problems with bearing
life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer
calibration, headlamp aim,
bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or
tire chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
Tire Chains
{Warning
If the vehicle has 265/45R21
size tires, do not use tire
chains. There is not enough
clearance. Tire chains used
on a vehicle without the
proper amount of clearance(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
can cause damage to the
brakes, suspension, or other
vehicle parts. The area
damaged by the tire chains
could cause loss of control
and a crash. Use another
type of traction device only
if its manufacturer
recommends it for the
vehicle's tire size
combination and road
conditions. Follow that
manufacturer's instructions.
To avoid vehicle damage,
drive slow and readjust or
remove the traction device if
it contacts the vehicle. Do
not spin the wheels. If
traction devices are used,
install them on the front
tires.
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped
with a tire size other than
265/45R21, use tire chains
only where legal and only
when necessary. Use low
profile chains that add no
more than 12 mm thickness
to the tire tread and inner
sidewall. Use chains that are
the proper size for the tires.
Install them on the tires of
the front axle. Do not use
chains on the tires of the
rear axle. Tighten them as
tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened.
Drive slowly and follow the
chain manufacturer's
instructions. If the chains
contact the vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the
contact continues, slow
down until it stops. Driving
too fast or spinning the
wheels with chains on will
damage the vehicle.
