This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the Index.) In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work. You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are in between.
Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. For example, if the bike is going 10 mph (16 km/h), so is the child. When the bike hits the block, it stops. But the child keeps going! Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just a seat on wheels.
Put someone on it. - , Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn't stop. I 1 The person keeps going until stopped by Something.
or the instrument panel ... or the safety belts! I With safety belts,you slow down as the vehicledoes. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s why safety belts make such good sense.
Here Are Questions ManyPeople Ask About Safety Belts- and fhe Answers Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a safety belt? A: You could be - whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you can easily unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And your chance of being conscious duringand after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.
Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to “RUN” or “START,” a light will come on for about eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. Unless the driver’s safety belt is already buckled,a chime will also sound. How To Wear Safety Belts Properly Adults This part is only for peopleof adult size. Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different rules forsmaller children and babies.

Make surethe release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. The lappart of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.

Before you close the door, be sure the belt is outof the way. If you slam the door on it, you can damage both the belt and your vehicle. Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they don’t wear safety belts. A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, andthe lap portion should be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
Right Front Passenger Position The right front passenger’s safety belt works thesame way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier in this section. When the lap portion of the belt is pulledout all the way, it will lock. Ifit does, let it go back all the way and start again.
Lap Belt If your vehicle has front and rear bench seats, someone can sit in the center positions. When you sit in a center seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor. To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt. To make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown until the belt is snug. Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt.
Rear Seat Passengers It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seatare hurt more often in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts. Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrownout of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strikeothers in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts. Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions Lap-Shoulder Belt The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder belts.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. On four-door models, when the shoulder belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it does, let it go back all the way and start again. If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. Make sure the release button on thebuckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or a crash. To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle.

Two-Door Four-Door . .../ Child Restraints Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt systemin your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury. The instructions that come with the infantor child restraint will show you how to do that.
Where to Put the Restraint If you have a 60/40 split bench seat, you must use the right front passenger seat. Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. We at General Motors therefore recommend that you put your child restraint in the rear seat unless the child is an infant and you’re the only adult in the vehicle. In that case, you might want to secure the restraint in the front seat where you can keep an eye onthe baby.

The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger. Larger Children A Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’s safety belts. If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can wear a lapshoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.
Q: What if a childis wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the childis so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child's face or neck A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the shoulder belt still is on the child's shoulder, so that in a crash the child's upper body would have the restraint that belts provide.
I .Thatcould cause serious or fatalinjuries. Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the child's thighs. This applies belt force to the child's pelvic bones in a crash. Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt isn't long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender. It's free.
Checking Your Restraint Systems Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for any loose parts or damage. If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired. Replacing Safety Belts After a Crash If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
Q: What’s wrong with this? I A: The belt is torn. Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one right away. Before replacing any safety belt,see your dealer for the correct part number. You’ll need the model year and model number for your vehicle. The model year is on your title and registration. And youcan find the model number on the Certificatioflire label of your vehicle.

Defensive Driving The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively. Please start with a very important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.) Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets, rural roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.” Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do.Be ready for their mistakes.
According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC by drinking three &ounce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if each had 1-1/2 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin or vodka. It’s the amount of alcohol that counts.
But it’s very importantto keep in mind that the abilityto drive is affected well below a BAC of 0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills of many people are impaired at aBAC approaching 0.05 percent, and that the effects are worse at night. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0.05 percent. Statistics show that the chance of being in an accident increases sharply for drivers who have a BAC of 0.05 percent or above. A driver with a BAC level of 0.
Control of a Vehicle You have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator. All three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road. Sometimes, as when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’s easy to ask more of those control systemsthan the tires and road can provide. Thatmeans you can lose control of your vehicle. Braking Braking action involves perception time and reaction time.
Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts - heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking - rather than keeping pacewith traffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That means better braking and longer brake life.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to the brake pedal. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes. To Use Four-wheel Anti-Lock Don’t pump the brakes.
Power Steering If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but it will take much more effort. Steering Tips Driving on Curves It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed. A lot of the “driver lost control”accidents mentioned on the news happen on curves. Here’s why: Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to the same laws of physics when driving on curves.
Steering in Emergencies There are timeswhen steering can bemore effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find atruck stopped in your lane, or acar darts out frombetween parked suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these problems by braking -if you can stopin time. But sometimesyou can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the time for evasive action - steering around the problem.
Off-Road Recovery You may find sometime that your rightwheels have dropped off theedge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy.Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement. You can turn the steering wheel up to 1/4 turn until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge.
0 Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines. If you can see a sign up ahead that might indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your pass. A broken center line usually indicates it’s all right to pass (providing the road ahead is clear). Never cross a solid line on your side of the lane or a double solid line, even if the road seems empty of approaching traffic. 0 Do not get too close to the vehicle you wantto pass while you’re awaiting an opportunity.
Skidding In a skid, a drivercan lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not “overdriving” those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to your Vehicle’s three control systems. In the braking skid your wheels aren’t rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causestires to slip and lose cornering force.
Off-Road Driving with Your Four-wheel Drive Vehicle This off-road guide is for vehicles that have four-wheel drive. Also, see“Anti-lock Brakes” in the Index. If your vehicle doesn’thave four-wheel drive, you shouldn’t drive off-road unless you’re on a level, solid surface. Off-road driving can be great fun. But it does have some definite hazards. The greatest of these is the terrain itself. “Off-roading” means you’ve left the great North American road system behind. Traffic lanes aren’t marked.
You’ll find other important information in this manual. See “ Vehicle Loading,” “ Luggage Carrier” and “Tires” in the Index. Traveling to Remote Areas It makes sense to plan your trip, especially whengoing to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your route. You are much less likely to get bad surprises. Get accurate maps of trails and terrain. Try to learn of any blocked or closed roads. It’s also a good idea to travel with at leastone other vehicle.
Controlling your vehicle is the key to successful off-road driving. One of the best ways to control your vehicle is to control your speed. Here are some things to keep in mind. At higher speeds: you approach things faster and you have less time to scan the terrain for obstacles. you have less time to react. 0 you have more vehicle bounce when you drive over obstacles. 0 you’ll need more distance for braking, especially since you’re on an unpaved surface.
When you drive over bumps, rocks, or other obstacles, your wheels can leave the ground. If this happens, even with one or two wheels, you can’t control the vehicle as well or at all. Because you will be on an unpaved surface, it’s especially important to avoid sudden acceleration, sudden turns, or sudden braking. In a way, off-road driving requires a different kind of alertness from driving on paved roads and highways. There are no road signs, posted speed limits or signal lights.
Here are some other things to consider asyou approach a hill.
- 1’ Q: What shouldI do if my vehicle stalls,or is about to stall, andI can’t make it up the hill? A: If this happens, there are some things you should do, and there are should do: some things you must not do. First, here’s what you Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and keep it from rolling backwards. Also, apply the parking brake. If your engine is still running, shift the transmission into reverse, release the parking brake, and slowly back downthe hill in reverse.
0 Never attempt to turn around if you are about to stall when going up a hill. If the hill issteep enough to stall your vehicle, it’s steep enough to cause you to roll over if you turn around. If you can’t make it up the hill, you must back straight down the hill. Q: Suppose, after stalling,I try to back down the hill and decide I just can’t doit. What should I do? A: Set the parking brake, put your transmission in ‘ 4 P ’ (Park) (or the manual transmission in first gear) , and turn off the engine.
Q: Are there some thingsI should notdo when driving down a hill? A: Yes! These are important because if you ignore them you could lose control and have a serious accident. When driving downhill, avoid turns that take you across the incline of the h11. A hill that’s not too steepto drive down may be too steep to drive across. You could roll over if you don’t drive straight down. Never go downhill with the transmission in “N” (Neutral) ,or with the clutch pedal depressed in a manual shift .
Driving Acrossan Incline Sooner orlater, an off-road trail will probably go acrossthe incline of a hill. If this happens, you have to decide whether to try to drive acrossthe incline. Here are some thingsto consider: 0 A hill that can be driven straight up or down may be too steep to drive across. When you go straight up or down a hill, the length of the wheel base (the distancefrom the front wheels to the rear wheels) reduces the likelihood thevehicle will tumble end over end.
Stalling on an lncline If your vehicle stalls when you’re crossing an incline, be sure you (and your passengers) get out on the uphill side, evenif the door there is harder to open. If you get out on the downhill side and the vehicle startsto roll over, you’ll be right in its path. If you have to walk downthe slope, stay out of the path the vehicle will take if it does roll over. Driving In Mud, Sand, Snow,Or lce When you drive in mud, snow or sand, your wheels won’t get good traction.
Hard packed snow and ice offer the worst tire traction. On these surfaces, it’s very easy to lose control. On wet ice, for example,the traction is so poor that you will have difficulty accelerating. And if you do get moving, poor steering and difficult braking can cause you to slide out of control. Driving In Water Light rain causes no special off-road driving problems. But heavy rain can mean flash flooding, and flood waters demand extreme caution.
After Off-Road Driving Remove any brush or debris that has collected on the underbody, chassis or under the hood. These accumulations can be a fire hazard. After operation in mud or sand, have the brake liningscleaned and checked. These substances can cause glazing and uneven braking. Checkthe body structure, steering, suspension, wheels, tires, and exhaust system for damage. Also, check the fuel lines and cooling system for any leakage. Your vehicle will require more frequent service due to off-road use.
Night Vision No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as we get older these differences increase. A 50-year-old driver may require at least twice as much light to see the samething at night as a 20-year-old. What you do in the daytime can alsoaffect your night vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will have less trouble adjusting to night. But if you’re driving, don’t wear sunglasses at night.
less traction. It’s always wiseto go slower and be cautious if rain starts to fall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement. The heavier the rain, the harderit is to see. Even if your windshield wiper blades are in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see road signs and traffic signals, pavement markings, theedge of the road, and even people walking.
Hydroplaning doesn’thappen often. But it can if your tires haven’t much tread or if the pressure in one or more is low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing on the road. If you can see reflections from trees, telephone poles, or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple”the water’s surface, there could be hydroplaning. Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There just isn’t a hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. Thebest advice is to slow down when it is raining.
0 Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll save time and energy. (See the next section, “Freeway Driving.”) 0 Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because the corner is busy enough to need it. When a light turnsgreen, and just before you start to move, check both ways for vehicles that have not cleared the intersection or may be running the red light. Freeway Driving -.
Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night. When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stopand back up. Drive on to the next exit. The exit ramp canbe curved, sometimes quitesharply. The exit speedis usually posted.
Highway Hypnosis Is there actually sucha condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Callit highway hypnosis, lack ofawareness, or whatever. There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum ofthe tires on the road, thedrone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that canmake you sleepy.
Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transmission. Theseparts can work hard on mountain roads. 0 Know how to go down hills. The most important thing to know is this: let your engine do someof the slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when you go down a steep orlong hill. 0 Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift down to a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your engine and transmission, and you can climb the hill better.
Winter Driving Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your vehicle in good shape for winter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your vehicle. Include an ice scraper, a small brushor broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles.
What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because it may offer the least traction of all. You can get “wet ice” when it’s about freezing (32°F; 0°C) and freezing rain begins to fall. Try to avoid driving on wet ice until salt and sand crews can get there. Whatever the condition - smooth ice, packed, blowing or loose snow drive with caution. Accelerate gently. Try not to break the fragile traction.
If You’re Caught ina Blizzard If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a serious situation. You should probably stay with your vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near help and you can hike through the snow. Here are some things to do to summon help and keep yourself and your passengers safe: Turn on your hazard flashers. Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that you’ve been stopped by the snow. Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.
Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the battery charged. You will need a well-charged battery (or batteries) to restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on withyour headlights. Let theheater run for awhile. Then, shut the engineoff and close the window almost all the wayto preserve the heat.
Before towing, you should: 1. Set the parking brake firmly. 2. Place the automatic transmission in "P" (Park) orthe manual transmission in the lowest gear (1st gear). 3. Firmly attach the vehicle being towed to the towvehicle. Refer to the hitch manufacturer's instructions. 4. Place the transfer case shift lever in "N" (Neutral). NOTICE: Removal of either propeller shaft is unnecessary. 1. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the tow vehicle. 2.
Towing a Trailer NOTICE: Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by your warranty. To pull a trailer correctly, follow the advice in this section, and see your GM dealer for important information about towing a trailer with your vehicle. Every vehicle is ready for sometrailer towing. If it was built with trailering options, as many are, it’s ready for heavier trailers. But trailering is different than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles (800 km) your new vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged. Then, during the first 500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailer, don’t drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and don’t makestarts at full throttle. This helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.
If you’re using a “dead-weight” hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 10% of the total loaded trailer weight (B). If you have a “weight-distributing” hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 12% of the total loaded trailer weight (B). After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be able to get them right simply by moving some items around in the trailer.
Trailer Brakes If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 pounds (450 kg) loaded, then it needs its own brakes - and they must be adequate.Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able to install, adjust and maintain them properly. Your trailer brakes system can tap into vehicle’s hydraulic brake system except: Don’t tap intoyour vehicle’s brake systemif the trailer’s brake system will use more than 0.02 cubic inch ( 0 . 3 ~of ~ )fluid from your vehicle’s master cylinder.
During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working. Following Disfance Stay at least twice asfar behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations that require heavy braking and sudden turns. Passing You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
Making Turns When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal.Do this so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. Turn Signals When Towinga Trailer When you tow a trailer, your vehicle hasto have a different turn signal flasher and extra wiring. The green arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change.
4. Reapply the regular brakes. Then apply your parking brake, and then shift into “P” (Park), or “R” (Reverse) for a manual transmission. 5. If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle with a manual transfer case shift lever, be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear-not in “N” (Neutral). 6. Release the parking brakes. When You Are Ready to Leave After Parkingon a Hill 1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down while you: Start your engine; 0 Shift into a gear; and 0 Release the parking brake.
Maintenance When Trailer Towing Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedulefor more on this. Things that are especially important in trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid (don’t overfill), engine oil,axle lubricant, belt, cooling system,and brake adjustment. Each of these is covered in this manual, and the Index will help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to reviewthese sections before you start your trip.

Hazard Warning Flashers Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They also let police know you have 1 a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lights will flash on and off. ~ Press the button in to make your front and rear turn signal lights flash on and off. Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what position your key is in, and even if the key isn’tin. To turn off the flashers, pull out on the collar. When the hazard warning flashers are on, your turn signals won’t work.
Other Warning Devices If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle. Jump Starting If your battery has run down, you may want to useanother vehicle and some jumper cablesto start your vehicle. But please follow the steps below to do it safely. NOTICE: Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to your vehicle that wouldn’t be coveredby your warranty.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cablescan reach, but be sure thevehicles aren’t touching each other. If they are, it could cause a ground connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to start you1 vehicle, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems. You could be injured if the vehicles roll. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transmission in “P’ (Park) or a manual transmission in “N” (Neutral).

Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run theengine for a while. 11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery.If it won't start after a few tries, it probably needs service. 12.
Towing Your Vehicle Try to have a GM dealer or a professional towing service tow your vehicle. They can provide the right equipment and know how to tow it without damage. If your vehicle has been changed since it was factory-new by adding things like foglamps, aero skirting, or special tires and wheels, these things could be damaged during towing. Before you do anything, turn on the hazard warning flashers.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key off. The steering wheel should be clamped in a straight-ahead position with a clamping device designed for towing service. Do not use the vehicle’s steering column lock for this. The transmission (either automatic or manual) should be in “ N ’ (Neutral) and the transfer case (eithermanual shift or electronic shift), if you have one, should be in 2 WHEEL (two-wheel drive). The parking brake should be released.
Towing Fromthe Front NOTICE: Do not tow with sling-type equipment or the front bumper system will be damaged. Use wheel lift or car-carrier equipment. Additional ramping may be required for car-carrier equipment. Use safety chains and wheel straps. If your vehicle has the four-wheel drive option, a dolly MUST be used under the rearwheels when towingfrom the front.
Towing From the Rear NOTICE: Do not tow with sling-type equipment or the rear bumper system will be damaged. Use wheel liftor car-carrier equipment. Additional ramping may be required for car-carrier equipment. Use safety chains and wheel straps. If your vehicle has the four-wheel drive option, a dolly MUST be used under the frontwheels when towingfrom the rear. Don’t have your vehicle towed on therear wheels, unless you have to.
Engine Overheating You will find a coolant temperature gage on your vehicle's instrument panel. lf Steam /sComing From Your Engine NOTICE: If your engine catches fire because you keep driving with no coolant, your vehicle can be badly damaged. The costly repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
If No Steam Is Coming From Your Engine If you get the overheat warning but see or hear no steam, the problem may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot when you: Climb a long hill on a hot day. Stop after high speed driving. Idle for long periods in traffic. Tow a trailer. If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam, try this for a minute or so: 1. If you have an air conditioner, turn it off. 2.
B' The coolantlevel should be at or abovethe ADD mark. If it isn't, you may have a leakin the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump or somewhere elsein the cooling system. NOTICE: Engine damage from running your engine without coolant isn't covered by your warranty. If there seems to be no leak, start the engine again. See if the fan speed increases when idle speed is doubled by pushing the accelerator pedal down. If it doesn't, your vehicle needs service. Turn off the engine.
NOTICE: In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater coreand other parts.Use the recommended coolant. When the coolant in the coolant recovery tank is at or above the the ADD mark, start your vehicle. If the overheat warning continues, there’s one more thing you can try. You can add the proper coolant mix directly to the radiator but besure the cooling system is cool before you do it.
How to Add Coolant to the Radiator 1. You can remove the radiator pressure cap when the cooling system, including the radiator pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly to the left until it first stops. (Don't press down while turning thepressure cap.) If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means there is still some pressure left.
2. Thenkeep turning the pressure cap, but now push down as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap. r 3. Fill the radiator with the proper mix, up to the base of the filler neck. 4. Then fill the coolant recovery tank to the ADD mark.
5 . Put the cap back on the coolant recovery tank, but leave the radiator pressure cap off'. 6. Start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine fan. 7. By this time the coolant level inside the filler neck may be lower. If the level is lower, add more of the proper mix through thefiller neck until the level reaches the base of the filler neck. 8. Then replace the pressure cap.
Engine Fan Noise This vehicle has a clutched engine cooling fan. When the clutch isengaged, the fan spins fasterto provide more air to cool the engine. In most every day driving conditions the clutch is not engaged. This improves fuel economy and reduces fan noise.Under heavy vehicle loading, trailer towingand/or high outside temperatures, the fan speed increases when the clutch engages. So you may hear an increase in fan noise.
Changing a Flat Tire If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your hazard warning flashers. T L Blocked Tire The following steps will tell you how to use the jackand change a tire.

Spare Tire Your spare tire is in your vehicle's rear area, either mounted to the left wall, the floor, or the endgate. If you have a left-wall or floor-mounted spare tire, the tire must be removed in order to have access to the jack storage. TORemove the Side-Mounted or Floor-Mounted Spare Tire Reach into your tire's cover and unscrew the wingnut at thecenter of the wheel. Remove it and the retainer. Unhook the tire from the mounting bracket and remove the cover.
Use the socket end of your wheel wrench to remove the wheel nuts that secure thetire to the carrier. Then, lift the tire off its mounting bracket. Changing theTire Start with the jack, wheel wrench and wheel blocks. Rotate the jackhandle to the right. That will raise the jacklifthead a little.
e Before you start, block the front and rear of the tirefarthest away from the one being changed. Put your spare tire near the flat tire. Hub Caps And Wheel Nut Caps You will have to take off hub caps or wheel nut caps to reach your wheel nuts. If you have individual wheel nut caps that cover each nut, they must be removedin order to get the wheel nuts. Use thesocket end of the wheel wrench to remove the I wheel nut caps. Your wheel nut caps may attach yourhub cap to the wheel.
k , Some of the molded plastic hub caps have imitation wheel nuts molded into them. The wheel wrench won’t fit these imitation nuts, so don’t try to remove them with the socket end of the wheel wrench. ... Using the wheel wrench, loosen all the wheel nuts. Don’t remove them yet. Position the jackunder the vehicle. ce, A B- AA A B A. Front Frame Hole B. Rear Frame Hole Your vehicle has a hole in the frame near each front wheel, and a hole in the spring hanger near each rear wheel for the jack.
NOTICE: Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly positioned will damage the vehicleor may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack. Be sureto fit the jack lift head into the proper location before raising your vehicle. h. ~ Raise the vehicle by rotating the wheel wrench to the right. Raise the vehicle far enough off the ground so there is enough room for the spare tire to fit. Remove all the wheel nuts.
Take off the flat tire. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel bolts, mounting surfaces and spare wheel. Place the spare on the wheel mounting surface.
Never use oil or grease on studsor nuts. If you do, the nuts might cum@loose. Your wheel could falloff, causing a serious accident. ~~ Put on the spare tire. Put the nutson by hand. Make sure the cone-shaped end is toward the wheel. Tighten each nut by hand until the wheel is held against the hub.If a nut can't be turned by hand, use the wheel wrench and see your dealer as soon as possible. Lower the vehicle by rotating the wheel wrench to the left. Lower thejack completely. si:..
Tightening Sequence Tightening Wheel Nut Use the wrench to tighten the wheel nuts firmly in a criss-cross sequence as shown. Remove the wheel blocks. Storing The Jack and Spare Tire Return the jack,wheel wrench and wheel blocks to the proper locationon the left wall of your vehicle’s rear area. Secure the items and replace the jack cover. Put the flat tire in the rear area of your vehicle where the spare tire was stored.
If you have a floor-mounted spare tire and it has an aluminum wheel, place the hook in thefloor ring before placing it through the wheel. If you have a endgate-mounted spare tire carrier, tighten the nutsto 22-32 ft. lb. (30-40 Nem) torque. If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuckis to spin your wheels. The method known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re stuck, but you must use caution.
Rocking your vehicle to getit out: First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area around your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between “R” (Reverse) and a forward gear (or with a manual transmission, between First or Second gear and Reverse), spinning the wheels as little as possible. Release the accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal when the transmission is in gear.

You’llget genuine GM parts and GM-trained and supported service people. We hope you’ll want to keep your GM vehicle all GM. Genuine GM parts have one of these marks: Dohg Your Own Service Work If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll want to get the proper GM Service Manual. It tells you much more about how to service your vehicle than this manualcan.
Fuel The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification Number(VIN) shows the code letter for your engine. You will find the VIN at the top left of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle Identification Number” in the Index.) Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher. With the 4.3L (Code W) engine, use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or higher for high power performance, when towinga trailer or with a high payload requirement.
Gasolines for CIeaner Air Your use of gasoline with deposit control additiveswill help prevent deposits from forming in your engine and fuel system. That helps keep your engine in tune and your emission control system working properly. It’s good for your vehicle, and you’ll be doing your part for cleaner air. Many gasolines are now blended with oxygenates. General Motors recommends that you use gasolines with these blending materials, such as MTBE and ethanol.
Filling ‘Your Tank The fuel capis behind a hinged door on the left side of your vehicle. To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left. Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle” in the Index. When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right until you hear a clicking noise.
NOTICE: If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right type. Your dealer can get one for you. If you get the wrong type, it may fit not or have proper venting, and your fuel tank and emissions system might be damaged. Checking Things Under theHood Then go to the front of the vehicle and release the secondary hood release.
Lift the hood, release the hood prop fromits retainer and put the hood prop into the slot in the hood.You may have a light that comes on when you lift the hood. Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler capsare on properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on the hood Prop.
Remove the hood prop from the slot in the hood and return the prop to its retainer. Then just pull the hood down and close it firmly. Engine Oil It’s a good idea to check your engine oil every time youget fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground. Turn off the engine and give theoil a few minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oildipstick might not show the actual level.
To Check EngineOil Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip lower. When to Add Oil If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil. But you must use the right kind. This section explains what kind of oil to use. For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications” in the Index. NOTICE: Don’t add too much oil.
Just fill it enough to put the level somewhere in the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way back in when you’re through. What Kind of Oil to Use Beginning midyear 1993, oils of the proper quality for your vehicle will be identified with this new “starburst” symbol. The “starburst” symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API), and is preferred for use in yourgasoline engine.
You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your vehicle, as shown in the following chart: RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY GRADE ENGINE OILS FOR BEST FUEL ECONOMY AND COLD STARTING, SELECT THE LOWEST SAL VISCOSITY GRADE 011 FOR THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE.
SHorSG “SH” or “SG” must be on the oil container, either by itself or combined with other quality designations, such as “SH/CD,” “SH, SG, CD,” “SG/CD,” etc. These letters show American Petroleum Institute (API) levels of quality. SAE 5W-30 Energy Conserving I1 Oils with these words on the container will help you save fuel. These three things are usually included in a doughnut shaped logo (symbol) on most containers.
When to Change Engine Oil See if any one of these is true for you: Most trips are less than 4 miles (6 km). It’s below freezing outside and most trips are less than 10 miles ( I 6 km). 0 The engine is at low speed most of the time (as in door-to-door delivery, or in stop-and-go traffic). You tow a trailer often. 0 Most trips are through dusty places. 0 The vehicle is frequently operated off-road.
Air Cleaner To remove the round air cleaner filter for the 4.3L (VIN Z) engine, turn the wing nuts to the left. Remove thecover and change the filter. Care should be taken during reassembly to ensure that the cover is on straight and the wingnuts are properly tightened. a I“ To remove the square air cleaner filter for the 4.3L (VIN W) high performance engine, loosen both wingnuts (one on the duct and one on the cover). Lift the air cleaner assembly up from the vehicle.
NOTICE: If the air cleaneris off, a backfire can cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirt caneasily get into your engine, which will damage it. Always have the air cleaner in place when you’re driving. Automatic TransmissionFluid When to Check and Change A good time to check your automatic transmission fluid level is when the engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transmission fluid levelif you have been driving: 0 When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32°C). At high speed for quite a while. 0 In heavy traffic - especially in hot weather. While pulling a trailer. To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating temperature, which is 180°F to 200°F (82°C to 93°C).
Then, without shutting ofSthe engine,follow these steps: 1. Flip the handle up and then pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel. 2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and then pull it back out again. 3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower level. The fluid level must be in the COLD area for a cold check or in the HOT area or cross-hatched area for a hot check.
4. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the dipstick back in all the way; then flip the handle down to lock the dipstick in place. How to Add Fluid Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transmission fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants’’in the Index. If the fluid level is low, add onlyenough of the proper fluid to bring the level up tothe COLD area for a cold check or the HOT area for a hot check. It doesn’t take muchfluid, generally less than a pint.
I NOTICE: Too much or too little fluid can damage your transmission. Too much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts or exhaust system, starting a fire. Be sure to get an accurate readingif you check your transmission fluid. Check the fluid level only when your engine is off, the vehicle is parked on a level place and the transmission is cool enough for you to rest your fingers on the transmission case. Then, follow these steps: B 1. Remove the filler (upper) plug. 2.
Hydraulic Clutch The hydraulic clutch in your vehicleis self-adjusting. A slight amount of play (114 inch to 1/2 inch) in the pedal is normal. When to Check and What to Use A Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how oftenyou should check the fluid level in your clutch master cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See “Owner Checks and Services” and “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
How to Check Lubricant If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole, you’ll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole. What to Use Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of lubricant to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. Four-Wheel Drive Most lubricant checks in this section also apply to four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, they have two additional systems that need lubrication.
Wow to Check Lubricant If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole, you’ll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole. The arrow on the the left shows the drain plug location.The arrow on the right shows the filler plug location. What toUse Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kindof lubricant to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If the differential is cold, add enough lubricant to raise the level to 1/2 inch (12 mm) below the filler plug hole. What to use Refer to theMaintenance Schedule to determine what kind of lubricant to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. Engine Coolanr The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
I NOTICE: If you use an improper coolantmix, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Too much water in themix can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. Some conditions, such as air trapped in the cooling system, can affect the coolant level in the radiator. Check the coolant level when the engine is cold and follow the steps under “Adding Coolant”for the proper way to add coolant.
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it. Radiator Pressure Cap NOTICE: Your radiator cap isa 15 psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to prevent coolantloss and possible engine damage from overheating.Be sure the arrowson the cap line up with the overflow tubeon the radiatorfiller neck. When you replace your radiator pressure cap, an A P cap is recommended. See “Service Replacement Part and Filter Recommendations” in the Index.
Thermostat Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant reaches a preset temperature. When you replace your thermostat, an AC@thermostat is recommended. Power Steering Fluid NOTICE: Always turn the engine off before checking or adding power steering fluid. The power steering cap is close to the fan and other moving parts. Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
0 When the engine compartment is cool, the level should be at the “FULL COLD” mark. What to Add Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. NOTICE: When adding power steering fluid or making a complete fluid change, always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals. Windshield Washer Fluid To Add Open the cap labeled “WASHER FLUID ONLY.
Brakes Brake Master Cylinder Your brake master cylinder is here. Itis filled with DOT-3 brake fluid. There areonly two reasons why the brake fluidlevel in your master cylinder might go down. The first is that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable the level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are put in, fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is leakingout of the brake system.
To Check BrakeFluid You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. Just look at thewindows on the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid levels should be above“MIN.” If they aren’t, have your brake system checkedto see if there is a leak. After work is done on the brake hydraulic system, make sure the levels are above “MIN” and below the top of each window. What toAdd When you do need brake fluid,use only DOT-3 brake fluid - such as Delco SupremeII@(GM Part No.1052535).
I NOTICE: I Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in costly brake repair. Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal whenthe brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something is wrong with your brakes. Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, butif you ever hear a rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected.
you have to have new ones put in -be sure you get new genuine GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly. For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes can change, for the worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect can change in many other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
ulb Replacement Before you replace any bulbs, be sure that all the lights areoff and the engine isn't running. Halogen Bulbs Headlights 1. Remove the four screws from the headlight retainer. 2. Pull the headlight out and remove the retainer. 3. Unplug the headlight. 4. Plug in the new bulb and put it in place. ::: 5. Install the retainer to the headlight. c 6. Install the screws.
Front ParkingKurn Signal Lights 1. Reach under and behind the parkingkurn signal light assembly. 2. Turn the socket to the left and pull it out. 3. Turn the bulb to the left and pull it out of the socket. 4. Put the new bulb in the socket and turn it to the right until it is tight. 5. Put the socket back into the assembly and turn the socket to the right until it locks in place.
Rear Lights 1. Open the endgate. - 3. Pull the assembly away from the fender. 4. Turn tne socket to the left to remove it. If the socket has a tab, push the tab in while you turn the socket. 5. Turn the bulb to the left to remove it. 6 . Put the new bulb into the socket and turn the bulb to the right. 7. Put the socket into the light assembly and turnthe socket to the right until it locks in place. 8. Install the light assembly and screws. 9. Close the endgate.
Other Maintenance Items Front Suspension and Steering Linkage Refer to the Maintenance Scheduleto determine how often to lubricate the fittings and what type of lubricant to use. Front Wheel Bearing(Two- Wheel Drive) If your vehicle is two-wheel drive, it has wheel bearings that must be cleaned and repacked. Refer to the Maintenance Scheduleto determine how often this must be done.
Windshield Wiper Blade Inserts To replace your windshield wiper blade inserts, lift the wiper arm away from the windshield. Pinch the two tabs on the wiper arm and slide the insert out of the blade. Slide the new one in place. Make sure the tabs are locked into position. Air Conditioning Every now and then have your dealership check your air conditioning system to be sure it has not lost any cooling ability.
Propeller Shaft Slip Splines/Universal Joints Refer to theMaintenance Schedule todetermine how often the slip and universal joints mustbe lubricated and what type oflubricant to use. Body Normal use of your vehicle will cause metal to metal wear at some points on the cab and body if they are not lubricated. For exposed surfaces, such as door checks, door lock bolts, lock striker plate dovetail bumper wedges, etc.,a thin film of engine oil should be applied.
Exhaust System ‘Tohelp prevent damage to your exhaust system, do not continue to drive your vehicle if you notice: Engine misfiring Loss of performance 0 Other unusual operating conditions Have your engine and exhaust system serviced regularly. Three- WayCatalytic Converter Your vehicle’s three-way catalytic converter is designed to reduce the pollutants in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use only unleaded fuel in your vehicle.
Loading Your Vehicle The CertificatiodTirelabel is found on the driver’s door lock pillar. The label shows the size of your original tires and the inflation pressures needed to obtain the gross weight capacity of your vehicle. This is called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. The Certificationnirelabel also tells you the maximum weights for the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
I NOTICE: Your warranty does not cover partsor components thatfail because of overloading. If you put things inside yourvehicle - like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else - they will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they’ll keep going. Payload The Payload Capacity is shownon the Certificationmire label. This is the maximum load capacity thatyour vehicle can carry.Be sure to include the weight of the people inside as part of your load.
Trailering Package If your vehicle comes with the Trailering Package, there is also a load rating which includes the weight of the vehicle and the trailer it tows. This rating is called the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR). When you weigh your trailer, be sure to include the weight of everything you put in it. And, remember to figure the weight of the people inside as part of your load. Your dealer can help you determine your GCWR. Add-on Equipment W1.
Tires We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made by a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with every new vehicle. If your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a tire warranty folder from each of these manufacturers.
NOTICE: Don’t letanyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t have enough air (underinflation) you can get: Too much flexing Too much heat Tire overloading Bad wear Bad handling Bad fuel economy. If your tires have toomuch air (overinflation), youcan get: Unusual wear Bad handling Rough ride Needless damage from road hazards. When to Check Check your tires once a month or more. How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Tire Inspectionand Rotation To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services’’ in the Index. Use this rotation FRT FRT pattern. U If your vehicle has front tires with different load ratingsor tread designs (such as all season vs. on/off road) than the reartires, don’t rotate your tires front to rear.
When lt’s Time for New Tires One way to tell when it’s time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining. You need a new tire if 0 You can see the indicators at three or more places around the tire. You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber. The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric. 0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
If you ever replace your tires with thosenot having a TPC Specnumber, make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires. Uniform Tire Quality Grading The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.
Temperature - A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to thegeneration of heat and its ability todissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can causethe material of the tire todegenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
If you need toreplace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace them only with parts. This way, you will besure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your GM model. NOTICE: The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlight aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance to the body and chassis.
Tire Chains NOTICE: If your vehicle has P235/75R15 size tires, don’t use tire chains; they can damage yourvehicle. If you have othersize tires, use tire chainsonly where legal and only when you must. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains that are the propersize for your tires. Install them on the drive axle tires (four-wheel-drive vehicles can use chains on both axles) and tighten themas tightly aspossible with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowlyand follow the chain manufacturer’s vehicle, instructions.
Never use these to clean your vehicle: Gasoline 0 0 Paint Thinner Benzene 0 Turpentine Naphtha 0 Lacquer Thinner Carbon Tetrachloride 0 Nail Polish Remover Acetone They can all be hazardous - some more th. a n 0th.ers - and they can all damage your vehicle, too. Don’t use any of these unless this manual says you can.
Using Foam-Type Cleaner on Fabric Vacuum and brush the area to remove any loose dirt. Always clean a whole trim panel or section. Mask surrounding trim along stitch or welt lines. Mix Multi-Purpose Powdered Cleaner following the directions on the container label. Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge. Don’t saturate the material. Don’t rub it roughly. As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a sponge to remove the suds. 0 Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge.
Special Cleaning Problems Greasy or Oily Stains Such as grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar and asphalt. Carefully scrape off excess stain. Follow the solvent-type instructions described earlier. 0 Sh% polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain ifleft on a vehicle seat fabric. They should be removed as soon as possible. Be careful, because the cleaner will dissolve them and maycause them to spread.
Cleaning Leather Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap or saddlesoap. 0 For stubborn stains, use a mild solution of 10% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)and 90% water. Never use oils, varnishes, solvent-based or abrasive cleaners, furniture polish or shoepolish on leather. Soiled leather should be cleaned immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into finish, it can harm the leather.
Cleaning the Outsideof the Windshield, Backglass and Wiper Blades If the windshield is notclear after using the windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, waxor other material may be on the blade or windshield. Clean the outside of the windshield withGM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@(GM Part No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water. Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent.
Use special care with aluminum trim. To avoid damaging protective trim, never use auto or chromepolish, steam or caustic soap toclean aluminum. A coating of wax, rubbed to high polish, is recommended for all bright metal parts. Aluminum Wheels Aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted surface of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could damage this coating.
Finish Damage Any stone chips, fractures or deepscratches in the finish should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materialsavailable from your dealer or other service outlets. Largerareas of finish damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop. Underbody Maintenance Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on the underbody.

Vehicle Identification Number(VIN) This is the legal identifier for your vehicle. It appears on a plate in the front corner of the instrument panel, on the driver’s side. You can see it if you look through the windshield from outside your vehicle. The VIN also appears on the Vehicle Certification and Service Parts labels and the certificates of title and registration.
Engine Identification The eighth characterin your VIN is the engine code. This code will help rou identify your engine, specifications, and replace-?nt parts.
Service Parts Identification Label You’ll find this label on the inside of the glove box.
Headlights The headlightwiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the lightswitch. An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked rightaway. Windshield Wipers The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats dueto heavy snow,etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not snow, etc., besure to get it fixed.
Be sure to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have spare a fuse, you can “borrow” one of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without-like the radio or cigarette lighter-and use its fuse, if it is of the value you need. Replace it as soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in this section.

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 maydrive 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.
This part tells you the maintenanceservices you should have done and when you should schedule them. Your GM dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to be happy with it. If you go to your dealer forall your service needs, you’ll know that GM-trained and supported service people will perform the work using genuine GM parts. These schedulesare for vehicles that: carry passengers and cargo within the recommended limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle’s Certification Label.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE I * An Emission Control Service ** See “Explanation of Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index $ The California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of vehicle useful life. General Motors, however, urges that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance be recorded.
