Using Your Maintenance Schedule

We at General Motors want to help you to keep
your vehicle in good working condition. But we don't
know exactly how you'll drive it. You may drive
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 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 your vehicle in good condition,
see your dealer.

This part tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and when to schedule them.
When you go to your dealer for your service needs,
you'll know that GM-trained and supported service
people will perform the work using GM parts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in
Part D. Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses
them. All parts should be replaced and all necessary
repairs done before you or anyone else drives the
vehicle.
This schedule is for vehicles that:
•
carry passengers and cargo within recommended
limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle's
Certification/Tire label. See Loading Your Vehicle
on page 4-32 .
•
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within
driving limits.
•
use the recommended fuel. See Gasoline Octane
