Using The Maintenance Schedule - Saturn 2009 OUTLOOK Owner's Manual

6-2 Maintenance Schedule
Using the Maintenance
Schedule
We want to help keep this vehicle in
good working condition. But we do
not know exactly how you will drive it.
You might drive very short distances
only a few times a week. Or you
might drive long distances all the
time in very hot, dusty weather.
You might use the vehicle in making
deliveries. Or you might 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 might
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 the vehicle in good condition,
see your dealer/retailer.
This schedule is for vehicles that:
•
carry passengers and cargo
within recommended limits on
the Tire and Loading Information
label. See Loading the Vehicle on
page 4-18.
•
are driven on reasonable road
surfaces within legal driving limits.
•
use the recommended fuel. See
Gasoline Octane on page 5-5.
The services in Scheduled
Maintenance on page 6-3 should
be performed when indicated.
See Additional Required Services
on page 6-6 and Maintenance
Footnotes on page 6-7 for further
information.

CAUTION
Performing maintenance work on
a vehicle can be dangerous. In
trying to do some jobs, you can
be seriously injured. Do your own
maintenance work only if you
have the required know-how and
the proper tools and equipment
for the job. If you have any doubt,
see your dealer/retailer to have a
qualified technician do the work.
See Doing Your Own Service
Work on page 5-4.
Some maintenance services can
be complex. So, unless you are
technically qualified and have the
necessary equipment, have your
dealer/retailer do these jobs.
When you go to your dealer/retailer
for service, trained and supported
service technicians will perform
the work using genuine parts.
