Saturn 2009 VUE Hybrid Automobile User Manual


 
When you go to your dealer/retailer
for service, trained and supported
service technicians will perform
the work using genuine parts.
To purchase service information,
see Service Publications Ordering
Information on page 7-13.
Owner Checks and Services on
page 6-8 tells what should be
checked, when to check it, and what
can easily be done to help keep
the vehicle in good condition.
The proper replacement parts,
fluids, and lubricants to use
are listed in Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-11
and Maintenance Replacement
Parts on page 6-12. When the
vehicle is serviced, make sure these
are used. All parts should be
replaced and all necessary repairs
done before you or anyone else
drives the vehicle. We recommend
the use of genuine parts from
your dealer/retailer.
Scheduled Maintenance
When the Change Engine Oil
light displays, service is required for
the vehicle. Have the vehicle
serviced as soon as possible within
the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It
is possible that, if driving under the
best conditions, the engine oil
life system may not indicate that
vehicle service is necessary for over
a year. However, the engine oil
and filter must be changed at least
once a year and at this time the
system must be reset. Your
dealer/retailer has trained service
technicians who will perform
this work using genuine parts and
reset the system.
If the engine oil life system is ever
reset accidentally, service the
vehicle within 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) since the last service.
Remember to reset the oil life
system whenever the oil is changed.
See Engine Oil Life System on
page 5-14 for information on
the Engine Oil Life System and
resetting the system.
When the Change Engine Oil light
appears, certain services, checks,
and inspections are required.
Required services are described in
the following for “Maintenance I
and “Maintenance II.” Generally, it is
recommended that the first service
be Maintenance I, the second
service be Maintenance II, and then
alternate Maintenance I and
Maintenance II thereafter. However,
in some cases, Maintenance II
may be required more often.
