Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services
Using Your Maintenance Schedule
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
m a k i n g
deliveries. Or
you may drive it to work, to do errands or in many
other ways.
Because of all the different ways people us'e their GM
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may even need
more frequent checks and replacements than you'll find
in
the
schedules in this section. So please read this
section and note how you drive. If you have any
questi'ons on how
to
keep your vehicle in good
condition, see your Pontiac dealer.
This
part
tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and when you should schedule them. 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.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed
in
P a r t
D.
Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses these. All
parts should be replaced and
a l l
necessary repairs done
before
you
or anyone else drives the vehicle.
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.
