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 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 you should 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 genuine
GM parts.
The proper fluids and lubricants
to use are listed in Part
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.

is for vehicles that:

limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle’s
Certification/-rire label. See Loading Your Vehicle
