A Word 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 Environmenr
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.
A
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, have
a qualified technician do the work.
If
you are skilled enough to
do some work on your vehicle, you will probably
want to get the service information
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.
