Index - Pontiac 1994 Bonneville Owner's Manual

"Section D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" lists some
products GM recommends to help keep your vehicle properly
maintained. These products, or their equivalents, should be
used whether you do the work yourself or have it done.
"Section E: 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.
Section A: Scheduled Maintenance
Using Your Maintenance Schedule
Services
This section tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and when you should schedule them. Your Pontiac
dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to be happy with
it. If you go to your dealer for your service needs, you'll know
that GM-trained and supported service people will perform the
work using genuine GM parts.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
@
carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits.
You will find these limits on your vehicle's Tire-Loading
Information label. See "Loading Your Vehicle" in the
Index.
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving
limits.
use the recommended unleaded fuel. See "Fuel" in the
Index.
