Doing Your Own Service Work - Chevrolet 2004 Malibu Owner's Manual

Doing Your Own Service Work

If you want to do some of your own service work, you will
want to use the proper service manual. It tells you much
more about how to service your vehicle than this manual
can. To order the proper service manual, see Service
Publications Ordering Information on page 7-12.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting
to do your own service work, see Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-60.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See Maintenance Record on page 6-15.

CAUTION:
{
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
•
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts
and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
•
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. "English" and "metric"
fasteners can be easily confused. If you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.
