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
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
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
questions on how to keep your vehicle
in
good
condition, see your dealer.
This past 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
all
necessary
repairs done before you or anyone else
drives
the vehicle.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within recomended
limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle's
Certificatioflire label. See "Loading Your Vehicle"
in
the Index.
are
driven
on
reasonable road surfaces within legal
driving limits.
use the recornended fuel. See "Fuel" in the Index.

First you'll need to decide which of the two schedules is
right for your vehicle. Here's how to decide which
schedule to follow:
