Introduction
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 part.
So
please read this part and note how you drive. If
you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in good
condition, see your Chevrolet 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 Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your vehicle
in good working condition, but 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.

How
This Part
is
Organized
The remainder
of
this part is divided into five sections:
“Section
A:
Scheduled Maintenance Services” shows what to
have done and how often. Some of these services can be
complex,
so
unless you are technically qualified and have the
necessary equipment, you should let your dealer’s service
department or another qualified service center do these jobs.
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 this manual. See “Service Publications” in the Index.
“Section B: Owner Checks and Services” tells you what should
be checked whenever you stop for fuel. It also explains what
you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in good condition.
“Section
C:
Periodic Maintenance Inspections” explains
important inspections that your Chevrolet dealer’s service
department
or
another qualified service center should perform.
