Vehicle Care 247
Caution (Continued)
.When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer instructions
for adding water.
.Fill the washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it is very cold.
This allows for fluid expansion if
freezing occurs, which could damage
the tank if it is completely full.
Brakes
Disc brake linings have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched warning
sound when the brake linings are worn and
new linings are needed. The sound can come
and go or can be heard all the time when
the vehicle is moving, except when applying
the brake pedal firmly.
{Warning
The brake wear warning sound means
that soon the brakes will not work well.
That could lead to a crash. When the
brake wear warning sound is heard, have
the vehicle serviced.
Caution
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake
linings could result in costly brake
repairs.
Some driving conditions or climates can
cause a brake squeal when the brakes are
first applied, clearing up following several
applies. This does not mean something is
wrong with the brakes.
If equipped with high performance brake
linings, there could be an increased build-up
of brake dust as well as minor noises as
compared to standard brake linings.
Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary
to help prevent brake pulsation. When tires
are rotated, inspect brake linings for wear
and evenly tighten wheel nuts in the proper
sequence to torque specifications. See
Capacities and Specifications 0309.
Brake pads should be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not
return to normal height, or if there is a
rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be
a sign that brake service may be required.
Replacing Brake System Parts
Always replace brake system parts with
new, approved replacement parts. If this is
not done, the brakes may not work
properly. The braking performance can
change in many ways if the wrong brake
parts are installed or if parts are improperly
installed.
High Performance Brake Lining Car Wash
and Extended Parking Care
If equipped with high performance brake
components, binding or clunking may be
noticeable after extended parking or in cold
weather when the brakes have been wet,
such as when driving in the rain or after a
car wash. The clunking is normal for brakes
with high performance brake linings and
does not affect the operation of the brakes.
When driving, normal braking will allow for
the brakes to feel smooth and the clunking
to go away. If the vehicle is washed before
overnight parking or long term storage,
drive it and apply the brakes several times
to thoroughly dry the brakes.

Service and Maintenance 301
.When the REPLACE AT NEXT OIL CHANGE
message displays, the engine air filter
should be replaced at the next engine oil
change. When the REPLACE ENGINE AIR
FILTER SOON message displays, the
engine air filter should be replaced at the
earliest convenience. Reset the engine air
filter life system after the engine air filter
is replaced. SeeEngine Air Filter Life
System (2.0L LTG and 3.6L LGX Engines
Only) 0239.
Every 36 000 km (22,500 mi)
.Replace passenger compartment air filter.
Or every 24 months, whichever comes
first. More frequent passenger
compartment air filter replacement may
be needed if driving in areas with heavy
traffic, poor air quality, high dust levels,
or environmental allergens. Passenger
compartment air filter replacement may
also be needed if there is reduced airflow,
window fogging, or odors. Your GM
dealer can help determine when to
replace the filter.
Every 72 000 km (45,000 mi)
.Change rear axle fluid, if equipped with
limited-slip differential. Do not directly
power wash the rear axle output seals.
High pressure water can overcome the seals and contaminate the fluid.
Contaminated fluid will decrease the life
of the rear axle.
Every 96 000 km (60,000 mi)
.Only 2.0L LTG and 6.2L LT4 Engines:
Replace spark plugs. Inspect spark plug
wires and/or boots.
Every 156 000 km (97,500 mi)
.Except 2.0L LTG and 6.2L LT4 Engines:
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 every 10 years, whichever
comes first. See Gas Strut(s)0251.
Every 240 000 km (150,000 mi)
.Change rear axle fluid, without limited-slip
differential. Do not directly power wash
the rear axle output seals. High pressure
water can overcome the seals and
contaminate the fluid. Contaminated fluid
will decrease the life of the rear axle.
.Drain and fill engine cooling system. Or
every six years, whichever comes first.
See Cooling System 0241.
Severe Conditions Requiring More
Frequent Maintenance*
.Public service, military, or commercial use
vehicles to include the following:
‐ Ambulances, police cars, and
emergency rescue vehicles.
‐ Civilian vehicles such as light duty
pick-up trucks, SUVs and passenger cars
that are used in military applications.
‐ Recovery vehicles such as tow trucks
and flatbed single vehicle carriers or
any vehicle that is consistently used in
towing trailers or other loads.
‐ High use commercial vehicles such as
courier delivery vehicles, private
security patrol vehicles, or any vehicles
that operate on a 24–hour basis.
‐ Any vehicle consistently operated in a
high sand or dust environment such as
those used on oil pipelines and similar
applications.
.Vehicles that are regularly used for short
trips of 6 km (4 mi) or less.
The oil life indicator will show you when
to change the oil and filter. Under severe
conditions the indicator may come on
before 12 000 km (7,500 mi).
