Scheduled Maintenance Services
A Womi About Maintenance'
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
GM vehicles,, maintenance
needs vary. You may even need more frequent checks and replacements than
you will find in the schedules in this section. So please read this section and
note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle
in good condition, see your GM dealer, the place many GM owners choose
to have their maintenance work done. Your dealer can be relied upon to use
proper parts and practices.
Your Vehicle And The Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps keep your vehicle
in good working
condition, but it also helps the environment. All recommended maintenance
procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the removal of
important components can significantly affect the quality
of the air we breathe.
Improper fluid levels or even the wrong tire inflation can increase the level of
emissions from your vehicle. To help protect our environment, and
to
help
keep your vehicle in good condition, please maintain your vehicle properly.
Performing maintenance
work on

.
'proper took
and
equipment for the job. If
you have any doubt,
have
a qualified technician do the work.

GM publishes. You will find a list of
publications and how to get them
in
Section 8, "Customer Assistance
Information". See "Service Publications" in the Index.
The Maintenance Record provides a place
for you to record the maintenance
performed on your vehicle. Whenever any maintenance is performed, be sure
to
write
it
down in this section. This will help you determine when your next.
maintenance should be done. In addition, it is a good idea to keep your
maintenance receipts. They may be needed to qualify your vehicle for
warranty repairs.
