GENERAL INFORMATION

This section provides the maintenance
schedule which is necessary to ensure that
your vehicle gives many years of satisfy-
ing motoring.
You are responsible for properly operating
and maintaining your vehicle in accor-
dance with the instructions described in
this Manual. Failure to do so is likely to
result in the denial of warranty coverage.
It is your responsibility to properly main-
tain and operate your vehicle. Be sure that
you follow the periodic required mainte-
nance schedule and general operation in-
structions in this Manual.
Every time a service / inspection is carried
out you will be given the relevant com-
pleted and signed schedule, indicating the
work which has been done.
It is also your responsibility to keep
records and receipts as proof of regular
maintenance. Records and receipts to-
gether with this Owner's Manual should
be transferred to any subsequent owner.
You may have maintenance services per-
formed on your vehicle by any qualified
person or facility. However, it is recom-
mended that the maintenance services be
performed by an authorized CHEVROLET
retailer who will have well-trained techni-
cians and genuine parts.
Non-GMI genuine parts and accessories
have not been examined or approved by
GMI. GMI can certify neither the suitabil-
ity nor the safety of non- genuine parts
and accessories and are not liable for dam-
age caused by their use.
Inadequate, incomplete, or insufficient

lems with your vehicle that could even
lead to vehicle damage, an accident, or
personal injury.
