Using Your Maintenance Schedule

We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we don't know exactly how you'll drive it. You may drive very short distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive long distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle in making deliveries.

Or you may drive it to work, to do errands or in many other ways.

Because of all the different ways people use their vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may need more frequent checks and replacements. So please read the following and note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition, see your dealer.

This part tells you the maintenance services you should have done and when you should schedule them. If you go to your dealer for your service needs, you'll know that GM-trained and supported service people will perform the work using genuine GM parts.

The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in Part D. Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives

the vehicle.

These schedules are for vehicles that:

Dcarry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle's Certification/Tire label. See ªLoading Your Vehicleº in the Index.

Dare driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits.

Dare driven off-road in the recommended manner. See ªOff-Road Driving With Your Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicleº in the Index.

Duse the recommended fuel. See ªFuelº in the Index.
