A CAUTION: Don’t letanyone ride where he or she can’t wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash andyou’re not wearing a safety belt, your injuriescan be much worse.You can hit things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt,and check that your passengers’ beltsare fastened properly too. Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up.
Why SafefyBelts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it's just a seat on wheels. 1 Put someone on it. . Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn't stop. .
The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield ... or the instrument panel ...
With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop overmore distance, and your strongest bones take the forces, That’s why safety belts make such good sense. Here Are QuestionsMany People Ask About Safety Belts and the Answers - 0: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 unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly Adults This part is only for people of adult size. Be aware that there are special thingsknow to about safety belts and children. And there are different rules for smallerchildren and babies. If a child will be riding in your vehicle, see the partof this manual called “Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s protection. First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your vehicle has. We’ll start with the driver position.
Make surethe release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able tounbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 5. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder belt. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be lesslikely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply forceat your abdomen.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt adjuster to the height that is right foryou. To move it down,push in at the top of the arrows and move the height adjuster tothe desired position.You can move the adjusterup just by pushing up on the shoulder belt guide. After you move the adjusterto where you want it, try to move it down without pushing in to make sure it has locked into position.
Q: What’s wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest.
Q: What's wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder atall times. A CAUTION: , .. . , ... , ." . - . . . ._ : a-,- You can be seriouslyinjured if youpwear the shoulder belt under your arm.In a crash, your body would move toofar forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury. Also, the belt would apply too muchforce to the ribs, which aren't as strong as shoulder bones.
Q: What's wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body. A I CAUTION: You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you wouldn't have the full widthof the beltto spread impact forces. If a beltis twisted, makeit straight so it can work properly, or ask your dealerto fix it.

There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. Thelight tells you if there is an electrical problem. See “Air Bag Readiness Light” in the Index for more information. How the Air Bag System Works Where is the air bag? The driver’s facial air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel.
A CAUTION: Don’t put anythingon, or attach anything to, the steering wheel. Also, don’t put anything (such as pets or objects) between the driver and the steering wheel. If something is between an occupant and an air bag, it could affect the performance of the air bag- or worse, it could cause injury. When should an air bag inflate? The air bag is designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes.
What will you seeafter an airbag inflates? After the airbag inflates, it quickly deflates. This occursso quickly that some people may not even realize the air bag inflated. Some components of the air bag module in the steering wheel hub will be hot for a short time, but the part of the bag that comes into contactwith you will not be hot to the touch. Therewill be some smoke coming from vents in the deflated air bag.
Servicing Your Facial Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle The facial air bag affects how your vehicle should be serviced.There are parts of the airbag system in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want the system to inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your GM dealer and the 1995 GM Service Manual have information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. To purchase a service manual, see “Service Publications”in the Index. The airbag system does not need regular maintenance.
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, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy. A The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions Lap-Shoulder Belt These positions have lap-shoulder belts. Here’s how to wear one properly. 1. Pick up the latch plate and pull it across you. Don’t let it get twisted. 2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. If the belt stops before it reaches thebuckle, tilt the latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle it. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
3. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part. The lappart of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force atyour abdomen. This could cause serious oreven fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest.
To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.
Lap Belt If your vehicle has 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 freeend as shown until the belt is snug. Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infantsand all children smaller than adult size.In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says childrenup to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle.
? Child Restraints Be sure to followthe instructions forthe restraint. You may find these instructions on therestraint itself or in a booklet, or both.

Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed. If the shoulderbelt goes in front of the child’s face orneck, put it behind the child restraint. 4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able tounbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
5. To tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder belt while you push down on the child restraint. 6. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure. To remove the child restraint, justunbuckle the vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger. Securing a Child Restraint a inCenter Seat Position (Bench Seat) You’ll be using the lap belt.
1. Make the belt as long as possible by tilting the latch plate and pulling it along the belt. .. 2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions for the child restraint. 3. Secure the child in the child restraint as the instructions say. 4. Run the vehicle’s safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. 5.

The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger. Larger Children Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’s safety belts.
Accident statistics show that children are saferif they are restrained in the rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts properly. Children who aren’t buckled up can be thrown out in a crash. 0 Children who aren’t buckled up can strike other people who are.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touchingthe child’s thighs. This appliesbelt 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. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the extenderwill be long enough for you.
Checking Your Restraint Systems Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems areworking properly. Look for any other loose or damaged restraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired. Torn or frayedbelts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart under a one right away. impact forces.

Fill your washer fluid tank only3/4 full when it’s very cold. This allows for expansion, which could damage the iftank it is completely full. Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer.
Cruise Control (Option) I With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.
To Set Cruise Control I 1. Move the cruise control switch to ON. 2. Get up to the speed you want. 3. Push in the set button at the end of the lever and release it. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control.But you don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 k d h ) or more, you can move the cruise control switchfrom ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second. You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Move the cruise switch from ON to WA (Resume/Accelerate). Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A (Resume/Accelerate). Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
To Get Outof Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control: 0 Step lightly on the brakepedal. Move the cruise switch to OFF. To Erase Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise controlor the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

To replace the cover, fit the notches on the cover into the storage compartment I slots and push down. Center Overhead Console The optional roof console has two storage compartments.
Instrument Cluster Your instrument cluster isdesigned to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You’ll know how fast you’re going, abouthow much fuel remains,and many other thingsyou’ll need to know to drive safelyand economically. The optional digital cluster on your vehicle’s instrument panel is displayed electronically and will tell you everything the standard cluster does. The digital clusterwill give readings in either English or Metric.
Speedometer and Odometer Cluster Digital Cluster Standard Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers perhour ( k d h ) . Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the U.S.) or kilometers (used in Canada). Tamper Resistant Odometer Cluster Standard Digital Cluster I I Your odometer is tamper resistant. The odometer will show silver lines between the numbers if someone tries to turn it back.
Y O U may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer, then it must be. But if it can't, then it's set at zero, and a label must be put on the driver's door to show the old mileage reading when the new odometer was installed. Trip Odometer Digital Cluster Standard Cluster 4 The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there’s a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, orwhen one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it.
You will see this light flash for few a seconds when you turn your ignition to RUN or START. Then the light should go out. Thismeans the system is ready. If the air bag readiness lightdoesn’t come on when you start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you are driving, your air bag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away. Brake System Warning Light Standard Cluster Digital Cluster Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts.
This light should come on briefly as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. If the light comes on while you are driving,pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle’’in the Index.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this part.
Charging System Light Standard Cluster Digital Cluster m 1 I The red charging system light is on the bottom driver's-side corner of your standard cluster. It is part of the digital clustervoltmeter. The charging system light will come on briefly when you turn the ignition on, but the engine is not running, as acheck to show you the lightis working. Then it should go out once the engineis running.
For more details about DRL, see“Headlamps and Vehicle Lighting” in this section. The DRL indicator light ison whenever the ignition and the headlight switch and parking brake are off. For more details aboutDRL, see “Lights” in this part. Headlamp High Beam IndicatorLight This blue lightis on the driver’s sideof the standard cluster. If you have the digital cluster, it is on the top of the cluster. The high beam indicator lightis on whenever you use your high beam headlamps.
Englne Coolant Temperature Gage Digital Cluster Cluster Standard If you have the standard cluster, you have a gage that shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves to the “H” (red) side, your engine is too hot! It means that your engine coolant has overheated. If you have been operating your vehicle under normal driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
Oil Pressure Gage Digital Cluster Standard Cluster The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is running. Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in kPa (kilopascals).Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside temperatureand oil viscosity, but readings abovethe low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range. A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a dangerouslylow oil level or other problems causing low oil pressure.
I The fuel gagetells you how much fuel you have remaining when the ignition is on. When the gage first indicates empty you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more fuel as soon as possible. A box around the fuel gage symbol on the digital cluster will begin to flash when your tank is 1/8 full or less. Here arethings some owners ask about. None of these indicate a problem with your fuel gage: 0 At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
Voltmeter Digital Cluster Standard Cluster VOLTS When your engine is not running, but the ignition is on (in the RUN position), the gageshows your battery's state of charge in DC volts. When the ignition is running, thegage shows the condition of the charging system. Readings between the low and high warning zones indicate the normal operating range.
Luggage Carrier (Option) I If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has slats attached to the roof, side rails, and tiedowns. NOTICE: Loading cargo that weighs morethan 200 pounds (91 kg) on the luggage carrier may damage your vehicle. When youcarry large things, never let them hang over the rear orthe sides of your vehicle. Load yourcargo so that itrests on the slats and does not scratch or damage the vehicle.
Trailer Wiring Harness If you have the optional trailering package,your vehicle will have an 8-wire harness, consistingof a 7-wire harness and one CHMSL battery feed wire. The harness is stored on the passenger sideof the van near the rear wheel well. This harnesshas a 30 amp battery feed wire and no connector, and should be wired by a qualified service person.Attach the harness to the trailer, then tape or strap it to your vehicle’s frame rail.

NOTICE: Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle - like a tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio - be sure you can add whatyou want. If you can, it’s very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@radio or other systems, andeven damage them.
You may prefer to use a non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner. This type of cleaner uses a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type of cleaner cassette will not cause an error, but it may not clean the tape player as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner. A scrubbing action cleaner cassette is available through your retailer (SPO 12344600). Cassettes aresubject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over time.
Your Driving andthe Road Section Here you’ll find information about driving on different kindsof roads and in varying weather conditions. We’ve also includedmany other useful tips on driving. Defensive Driving The best adviceanyone can give about driving is:Drive defensively. Please start with avery important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.) Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.
Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable of accidents. Yet they are common. Allow enough following distance. It’s the best defensive driving maneuver, in both city and rural driving. You never know when the vehicle in front of you is going to brake or turn suddenly. Drunken Driving Death and injury associated with drinking and driving isa national tragedy. It’s the number one contributor to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims every year.
It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example, if the sameperson drank three double martinis (3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each)within an hour, the person’s BAC would be close to0.12 percent. A person who consumes food just before or during drinkingwill have a somewhat lower BAC level. There is a gender difference, too.Women generally have a lower relative percentage of body water than men.
There’s something else about drinking and driving that many people don’t know. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person’s system can make crash injuriesworse, especially injuries tothe brain, spinalcord or heart. This means that when anyone who has been drinking - driver or passenger -is in a crash,that person’s chance of being killed or permanently disabled is higher than if the person had not beendrinking. Control of a Vehicle You have threesystems that make your vehicle go where you want it togo.
Braking Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal. That’s perception time. Then you have to bring up your foot and do it. That’s reaction time. Average reaction time is about 3/4 of a second. But that’s only an average. It might be less with one driver and as long as two or three seconds or more with another. Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination, and eyesight all play a part. So do alcohol, drugs and frustration.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) Your vehicle has an advanced electronic braking system that can help you keep it under control. When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away, you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise. This is the ABS system testing itself. nere s now anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet. You’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps outin front of you. You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with ABS. A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to getyour 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 Anti-Lock Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel thebrakes vibrate, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal.
What should you do if this everhappens? Ease up on the accelerator pedal, steer the vehiclethe way you want it to go,and slow down. Speed limit signsnear curves warn that you should adjust your speed. Of course, theposted speeds arebased on good weather and road conditions. Under less favorableconditions you’ll want to go slower. If you need to reduceyour speed as you approach a curve, do it before you enter the curve,while your front wheels are straight ahead.
Off-Road Recovery You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the levelof the shoulderis only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairlyeasy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edgeof the pavement. You can turn the steeringwheel up to 114 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 theroad 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 closeto the vehicle you want to pass while you’re awaiting an opportunity.
Loss of Confrol Let’s review what driving expertssay about what happens when the three control systems (brakes,steering and acceleration) don’t have enough friction where the tiresmeet the road to dowhat the driverhas asked. In any emergency, don’t give up. Keeptrying to steerand constantly seek an escape route or area of less danger. Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle.
Driving at Night Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired - by alcohol or drugs,with night vision problems, orby fatigue. Here are some tips on night driving. 0 Drive defensively. 0 Don’t drink and drive. 0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlamps behind you. 0 Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching lights. It can take a second or two, oreven several seconds, foryour eyes to readjust to the dark.When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring directly intothe approaching lights. Keep your windshield and all the glasson your vehicle clean - inside and out. Glare at night is made much worse by dirt on the glass.
It’s wise to keep your wiping equipment in good shape and keep your windshield washer tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper inserts when they show signs of streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or when strips of rubber start to separate from the inserts. Driving too fastthrough large water puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoidpuddles. But if you can’t, try to slow down before you hit them. I A CAUTION: .
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips Turn on your low-beam headlamps - not just your parking lamps to help make you more visible to others. 0 Besides slowing down, allow some extra following distance.And be especially careful when you pass another vehicle. Allow yourself more clear room ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted by road spray. Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See “Tires” in the Index.
Freeway Driving Mile formile, freeways (alsocalled thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes, orsuperhighways) are the safestof all roads. But they have their own special rules. The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep to the right.Drive at the same speed most of the other drivers are driving. Too-fast or too-slow driving breaks a smooth traffic flow. Treat the a lane. left lane on a freeway as passing At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads tothe freeway.
Before Leaving ona Long Trip Make sure you’reready. Try to be well rested. If you must start when you’re not fresh - such as after aday’s work - don’t plan to make toomany miles that first part of the journey.Wear comfortable clothingand shoes you can easily drive in. Is your vehicle ready for along trip? If you keep it servicedand maintained, it’s ready to go. If it needs service, have it done before starting out.
Then here are some tips: Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool interior. Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check your mirrors and your instruments frequently. If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service, orparking area and take anap, get some exercise, orboth. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as an emergency. Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from driving in flat or rolling terrain.
0 Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift down to a lower gear. The lower gears help coolyour engine and transmission, and you can climb the hill better. 0 Stay in your own lane when driving on two-lane roads in hills or mountains. Don’t swing wide or cut across the center of the road.Drive at speedsthat let you stay in your own lane. 0 As you go over thetop of a hill, be alert. There could besomething in your lane, like a stalled car oran accident.
Include an ice scraper, a small brush or 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. And, if you will be driving under severe conditions,include a small bag of sand, a piece of old carpet ora couple of burlap bags to help provide traction. Be sure you properly secure these items in your vehicle.
Your anti-lock brakes improve your ability to make a hard stop on a slippery road.Even though you have an anti-lock braking system, you'll want to begin stopping soonerthan you would on dry pavement. See "Anti-Lock" in the Index. 0 Allow greater following distanceon any slippery road. 0 Watch for slippery spots. Theroad might be fine until you hit a spot that's covered with ice.
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 to restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on with your headlarnps. Let the heater run for awhile. Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost all the way to preserve the heat.
Loading Your Vehicle PAYLOAD =-I PSI/KPA < SEE OWNER'S MANUAL -0 -0 (COLD) FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Certificatioflire label is found on the rear edge of the driver's door. The label shows the size of your original tires and the inflation pressures needed to obtainthe gross weight capacity of your vehicle. This is calledthe GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). TheGVWR includes theweight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel, cargo, and tongue weight, if pulling a trailer.
NOTICE: Your warrantydoes not cover parts or components that fail because of overloading. If you put things inside your vehicle -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 shown on the Certification/Tire label. Thisis the maximum load capacity that your vehicle can carry.Be sureto 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 vehicleand the trailerit 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 theweight of the people insideas part of your load. Your dealer can help you determine your GCWR.
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 part, and see your GM dealer for important information about towing a trailer with your vehicle. Most vehicles areready for some trailer towing. If yours was built with trailering options, asmany are, it’s ready for heavier trailers. But trailering is different than just drivingyour vehicle by itself.
0 Don’t tow a trailer atall during the first 500 miles (800 km) your new vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged. 0 Then, during the first500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailer, don’t drive over50 mph (80 k d h ) and don’t make starts at full throttle. This helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in at the heavier loads. 0 You should use DRIVE (D) (or, as you need to, a lower gear) when towing a trailer.
A 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.
Safety Chains You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to theroad if it becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching safety chains and do not attach them to the bumper. Always leave just enough slack so you can turn with your rig.
Driving with a Trailer Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feelof handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are drivingis now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Passing You’ll need more passing distance upahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle beforeyou can return to your lane. Backing Up Hold the bottom of the steeringwheel with one hand. Then, to move the just move that hand to the left. To move the trailer tothe trailer to the left, right, move your hand to theright. Always back up slowly and, if possible, have someone guide you.
Driving On Grades Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your brakes so much that they would get hot and no longer work well. On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine and transmission overheating.
Maintenance When Trailer Towing Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that are especially important in trailer operation are automatictransmission 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 review these sections beforeyou start your trip.
Notes 4-34
Problems on the Road Here you’ll find what to do about some problems that can occur on the road. Hazard Warning Flashers Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They also let police know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
But they won’t flash if you’re braking. 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’t in. 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 use another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your vehicle. But please follow the steps below to do it safely. I NOTICE: Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to your vehicle that wouldn’t be coveredby your warranty. Trying to startyour vehicle by pushingor pulling it won’t work, and itcould damage your vehicle. To Jump Start Your Vehicle: 1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with a negative ground system.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure thevehicles aren’t touching each other. If they are, it could causea ground connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able tostart your vehicle, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems. You could beinjured if the vehicles roll. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a manual transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
A CAUTION: Fans or other moving engine parts can injureyou badly. Keep the engines are your hands away from moving parts once running. 6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle with the dead battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one. Dead Battery (+) Good Battery (+) 7. Don’t let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one. 8.
Good Battery (-) Heavy Metal Engine Part 9. Attach the cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery, but not near engine parts that move. The electrical connection is just as good there, but the chance of sparks getting back to the battery is much less. 10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and r ~ the ~ nengine 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 havea GM dealer ora 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 or modified since it was factory-new by adding aftermarket items like fog lamps, aero skirting, special or tires and wheels, these thingscan be damaged during towing. Before you do anything, turn on the hazard warning flashers.
If your vehicle has the all-wheel drive option,it can only be towed with all four wheels off the ground.If a vehicle with all-wheel drive must be towed with sling-type or wheel lift equipment,then either the front or rear wheels must be supported on a dolly. If your vehicle has rear-wheel drive, don’t have it towed on the rear wheels, unless you must.
Towing From the Front (Except All-Wheel Drive) NOTICE: Do not tow with sling-typeequipment 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 all-wheel-drive option, a dolly MUST be used under the rearwheels when towingfrom the front.
Towing From the Rear (Except All- Wheel Drive) NOTICE: Do not tow withsling-type equipment or the rear 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 all-wheel-drive option, a dolly MUST be used under the frontwheels when towingfrom the rear.

Engine Overheating - If Steam Is Corning From Your Engine 8 I 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. See “Driving on Grades” in the Index. 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.
When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood, here’s what you’ll see: A. Coolant recovery tank B. Radiator pressure cap C. Engine fan If the coolant insidethe coolant recovery tank is boiling, don’t do anything else until it cools down. The coolant level should be at ADD. If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heaterhoses, radiator, water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system. NOTICE: Engine damage from running your engine without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty.
How to Add Coolant to the CoolantRecovery Tank If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level isn’t at ADD , add a 50/50 mixture of clean water (preferably distilled) and a proper antifreeze at the coolantrecovery tank. (See“Engine Coolant” in the Index for more information about the proper coolant mix.) NOTICE: In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. Use the recommended coolant.
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 slowlyto the left until it first stops. (Don’t press down while turning the pressure cap.
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means there is still Some pressure left. 2. Then keep turning the pressure cap, but now push down as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap. 3. Fill the radiator with the proper mix, up to the base of the filler neck.
I 4. Then fill the coolant recovery tank to ADD. 5. Put the cap back on the coolant recovery tank, but leave the radiator pressure capoff. 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 radiator filler neck may be lower. If the level is lower, add more of the proper mix through the filler neck until the level reaches the base of the filler neck. 8. Then replace the pressure cap. At any time during this procedure if coolant begins to flow out of the filler neck, reinstall the pressure cap. Be sure the arrows on the pressure cap line up like this. Engine Fan Noise This vehicle has a clutched engine cooling fan.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, actsmuch like a skid and may require the samecorrection you’d use in a skid. In any rear blowout, remove your foot from theaccelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under control by steering theway you want the vehicle to go. It may be very bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently brake to a stop, well off the road if possible. If a tiregoes flat, thenext part shows how to useyour jacking equipment to change a flat tiresafely.
The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and change a tire. Jack Storage Thejacking equipment you'll need is stored by your vehicle's rear doors, along the passenger side wall. Remove your jack cover by turning the plastic wing nut counterclockwise.

Spare Tire Your spare tire is stored underneath the rear of your vehicle. You will use the ratchet and extension to lower the spare tire. 1 NOTICE: Never remove or restow a tire frodto a stowage position under the vehicle while the vehicle is supported by a jack. Always tighten the tire fully against the underside of the vehicle when restowing. The ratchet has an UP side.
And a DOWN side. To Remove the Spare Tire 3 Attach the ratchet, with the DOWN side facing you,to the extension. The extension has a socket Put the flat end of the extension on an angle through thehole in the rear door frame, above the bumper. Be sure the flatend connects intothe hoist shaft. - 5-25 Turn the ratchet counterclockwise to lower the spare tire to the ground, Keep turning the ratchet until the spare tire can be pulled out from under the vehicle.
When the tire has been lowered, tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the wheel opening. Pull the tire out fromunder the vehicle. I NOTICE: To help avoid vehicle damage, do not drive vehicle before cable is restored.
The jack has a bolt on the end. Attach the socketend of the extension to the jack bolt like this. Attach the ratchet to the extension with the UP side facingyou. Rotate the ratchet to the right. Thatwill raise the jack lift head a little. Before raising the vehicle, do the following steps. Before you start, block the frontand rear of the tire farthest away from the one being changed.Then put your spare tire near the flat tire.
Hub Caps andWheel Nut Caps You will have to take off hub caps or wheel nut caps to reach your wheel nuts. If you have a standard hub cap, remove it by using the flat end of the extension. Pry along the edge of the cap until it comes off. Be careful, the rim edges may be sharp. Don’t try to remove it with your bare hands. If the wheel has a plastic center cap, you do not have to remove the center cap to loosen the wheel nuts.
To remove the hub cap fromthe aluminum wheel, fit the flat end of the extension intothe notch. Remove the center I cap- With DOWN facing you, use the ratchet and socket to loosen all the wheel nuts. Don’t remove them yet. Do not jack up the vehicle with people in or near the vehicle. Position the jackunder the vehicle.

(30.0em) NOTICE: Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly positioned will damage the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack. Be sure to fit the jack lift head into the proper location before raising your vehicle. I Raise the vehicle by rotating the ratchet clockwise. Make sure the UP marking faces you. Raise the vehicle far enough off the ground so there is enough room for the spare tire to fit.
Take off the flattire. Remove any rust or dirt from thewheel bolts, mounting surfaces and spare wheel. Place the spareon the wheel mounting surface.
c Put on the spare tire. Put the nuts on 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 extension and see your dealer assoon as possible. Lower the vehicle by turning the ratchet counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely.
Tightening Wheel Tightening Nut Sequence I Tighten the wheel nuts firmlyin a criss-cross sequence as shown. Turn the ratchet clockwise with the UP marking facingyou. Remove the wheel blocks. A CAUTION: I NOTICE: Wheel covers won’t fit on your compact spare. If you try to put a wheel cover on your compact spare, you could damage the cover or the spare.
Storing The Jack and Spare Tire 1. Put the tire on the ground at the rear of the vehicle, with the valve stem pointed down. 2. Pull the retaining bar through the center of the wheel, making sure itis properly attached. Attach the ratchet, with the UP side facingyou, to the extension. 3. Put the flatend of the extension on an angle throughthe hole in the rear door frame,above the bumper. Turn the ratchet clockwise until the tire is against theunderside of the vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare orwheel with other wheels or tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its wheel together. NOTICE: Tire chains won’t fit your compactspare. Using them will damage your vehicle and destroy the chains too. Don’t usetire chains onyour compact spare. If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is tospin your wheels too fast. Themethod known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re stuck, but you must use caution.
Notes 5-36
Service & Appearance Care Section Here you will find information about the care of your vehicle. This section begins with serviceand fuel information,and then it shows how to check important fluidand lubricant levels.There is also technical information about your vehicle, and a partdevoted to its appearance care. Service Your GM dealerknows your vehicle best and wants you to be happy with it. We hope you’ll go to your dealer forall your service needs.
YOUshould keep a record with all parts receipts and list the mileage and the date of any service work you perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index. I NOTICE: If you try to do your own service work without knowing enough about it, your vehicle could be damaged. Fuel Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher. Use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 9 1 octane orhigher for high power performance, when towing a trailer or with a high payload requirement.
In the United States and Canada, it’s easy to be sure you get the right kind of gasoline (unleaded).You’ll see UNLEADED right on the pump. And only unleaded nozzles will fit intoyour vehicle’s filler neck. Be sure the posted octane at is least 9 1 forpremium, 89 formiddle grade and 87 for regular. If the octane is less than 87, you may get aheavy knocking noise when you drive. If it’s bad enough, itcan damage your engine.
By doing so, you can help clean the air, especially in those parts of the country that have high ozone levels. You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain deposit controladditives and oxygenates, and if they have been reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions. Fuels in Foreign Countries If you plan on driving in another country outside the U.S. or Canada, unleaded fuel may be hard to find. Do not use leaded gasoline.
While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel door. To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise). 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 not fit or have proper venting, and your fuel tank and emissions system might be damaged. Checking Things Under the Hood Hood Release To open the hood, first pull the handle inside the vehicle on the lower driver’s side of the instrument panel. Then go to the front of the vehicle and release the secondary hood release.
Lift the hood, release the hood prop from its retainer and put the hood prop into theslot in the hood. Before closingthe 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 slotin 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 oilevery time you get 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 the oil a few minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil dipstick might not show the actual level.
To Check Engine Oil Pull out the dipstick and clean itwith a paper towel or cloth,then push it back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down. When to Add Oil If the oil isat or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil. But you must use the right kind. This part explains what kind of oil to use. For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications” in the Index. NOTICE: Don’t addtoo much oil.
Whaf Kind of Oil fo Use Oils of the proper quality for your vehicle can be identified by looking for the “Starburst” symbol. The“Starburst” symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API), and is preferred for use inyour gasoline engine. If you change your own oil, be sure you use oil that has the “Starburst” symbol on the front of the oilcontainer.
You should alsouse the proper viscosity oil for your vehicle, as shown in the following chart: RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY QRADE ENGINE OILS FOR BEST FUEL ECONOMY AND COW STARTING, SELECT THE LOWEST SAP VISCOSITY GRADE OIL FOR THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE. ~~ LOOK FOR THtS SYMBOL HOT WEATHER t 1 COLD WEATHER DO NOT USE SAE 2OW-50 OR ANY OTHER GRADE OIL NOT RECOMMENDED As shown in the chart, SAE 5W-30 is best for your vehicle. However, you can use SAE 1 OW-30 if it's going to be 0°F (-1 SOC) or above.
I NOTICE: Use only engine oil with the American Petroleum Institute Certified For Gasoline Engines “Starburst” symbol. Failure to use the proper oil can result in engine damage not covered by your warranty. GM Goodwrench@ oil (in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the requirements foryour vehicle. Engine Oil Additr’ves Don’t add anything toyour oil. Your GM dealer is ready to adviseif you think something should be added.
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drainall free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams orbodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your dealer, a servicestation or a local recycling center for help.

NOTICE: If the air cleaner off, is a backfire can causea damaging engine fire. And, dirt caneasily get into your engine,which will damage it. Always have theair cleaner in place when you’re driving. Automatic Transmission Fluid When to Check and Change A good time tocheck your automatic transmission fluid level is when the engine oilis changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
To check transmission fluid hot:Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles (24 km) when outside temperatures areabove 50°F (10°C). If it's colder than 50°F (lO°C), drivethe vehicle in DRIVE (D) until the engine temperaturegage moves and then remains steady for ten minutes. Then followthe hot check procedures. To check transmission fluid cold: A cold check is made afterthe vehicle has been sitting for eighthours or more with the engine off and is used only as a reference.
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.
A//- Wheel Drive If you have an all-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure toperform the lubricant checks described in this section. However, they have two additional systems that need lubrication. Transfer Case When to Check Lubricant Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determinehow often to check the lubricant. See “PeriodicMaintenance Inspections’’ in the Index. How to Check Lubricant If the levelis below the bottom of the filler plug hole, you’ll need to add some lubricant.
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. Rear Axle When to Check and Change Lubricant Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to check the lubricant and when to change it.
What to Use Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determinewhat kind of lubricant to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. Engine Coolant The following explainsyour 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. The proper coolantfor your vehicle will: 0 Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C). 0 Give boiling protection up to 262 O F ( 1 28 O C). 0 Protect against rust and corrosion.
NOTICE: If you usean improper coolant mix,your engine couldoverheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mix can freezeand crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. Some conditions,such as air trapped in the cooling system, can affect the coolant levelin the radiator. Check the coolant level when the engine iscold and follow thesteps under “Adding Coolant” for theproper way to add coolant.
To Check Coolant When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at ADD, or a little higher. When your engine is warm, the level should be up to FULL HOT, or a little higher. To Add Coolant If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolantrecovery tank. ~~ ~ Add coolant mix at the recovery tank,but be careful not to spill it.
Radiator PressureCap NOTICE: Your radiator cap is a15 psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck. ~ 1 1 l I When you replace your radiator pressure cap, aGM cap is recommended. See “Service Replacement Parts and Filler Recommendations” in the Index.
Power Steering Fluid How To Check Power Steering Fluid When the engine compartment is cool, unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick. The levelshould be at the FULL COLD mark. Add enough fluid to bring the level up to the mark. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired.
Windshield Washer Fluid What toUse When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure toread the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you will be operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing. To Add NOTICE: 0 When using concentrated washer fluid,follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adding water. DonV mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid.
Brakes Brake Master Cylinder Your brake master cylinder is here. It is filled with DOT-3 brake fluid. There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master cylinder might go down. The firstis that the brake fluid goesdown to an acceptable level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings areput in, the fluid level goesback up. The otherreason is that fluid is leaking out of the brake system.
To Check Brake Fluid You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. Justlook at the windows on the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid levels should be above MIN. If they aren’t, have your brake system checked to 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 to Add When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid - such as Delco Supreme 11 (GM Part No. 1052535).
Brake Wear Your vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound may come and go or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly). NOTICE: Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in costly brake repair.
Replacing Brake SystemParts The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of top qualityand work well together if the vehicleis to have really good braking. Vehicles we design and test have topquality GM brake parts in them, as your vehicle does when it is new. When you replace parts of your braking system -for example, when your brake liningswear down and you have to havenew ones put in -be sureyou get new genuine GM replacement parts.

Air Conditioning Every now and then have your dealership check your air conditioning system to be sure it has not lost any cooling ability. If you think the system is notworking properly, have your dealership check it out as soon as possible. The air conditioningwill not work when the temperature is below 40°F (4°C). Lock Cylinders To be sure your locks operateproperly, they must be lubricated. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to lubricatethem and what type of lubricant touse.
Malfunction lndicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT) This lighton your instrument panel lets you know when your emission system needs service. The lightwill come on briefly when you start your engine to let you know that the system is working. If it doesnot come on when you start your engine, or if it comes on and stays on while you’re driving, your system may need service. Your vehicle should still be driveable, but you should have your system serviced right away. Tires We don’t make tires.
lnflation - Tire Pressure The CertificatiodTirelabel which is on the rear edge of the driver’s door, shows the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting forat least three hours or driven no more than a mile. NOTICE: Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is all right. It’s not.
Tire lnspection and Rotation Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles ( 10 000 to 13 000 km) for any signs of unusual wear. If unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See“When It’s Time for New Tires” and “Wheel Replacement” later in this section for more information. The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important.
When It’s Time for New Tires Tread Wear Indicators 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 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining. You need a new tire if: You can see the indicators at three or more places around the tire. You can see cord or fabricshowing through the tire’s rubber. The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric. The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading The following information relates to the system developed by the United States NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.) Treadwear The treadwear gradeis a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditionson a specified government test course.
sudden tire failure. The gradeC corresponds toa level of performance which all passenger cartires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety StandardNo. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grade forthis tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your GM model. A CAUTION: Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts,or wheel nuts on your vehicle can bedangerous. It could affectthe braking and handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you lose control.You could have a collisionin which you or others could be injured.
Tire Chains NOTICE: If your vehicle hasP235/65R15 size tires, don’t use tire chains; they can damage your vehicle. If you have othersize tires, use tire chains only where legal and only whenyou must. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains that are the propersize for yourtires. Install them on the rear axle tires and tighten themas tightly as possible with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowlyand follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions.
Don’t use any of these unless this manual says you can. In many uses, these will damage your vehicle: 0 Alcohol Laundry Soap Bleach 0 Reducing Agents Cleaning the Insideof Your Vehicle Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl or leather with a clean, damp cloth. Your GM dealer has two GM cleaners, a solvent-type spot lifter and a foam-type powdered cleaner. They will clean normal spots and stains very well. Do not use them on vinyl or leather.
Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge. Wipe off what’s left with a slightly damp paper towel or cloth. Then dry it immediately with a blow dryer or a heat lamp. NOTICE: Be careful. A blow dryer may scorch the fabric. Wipe with a clean cloth. Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spotsand stains will clean off better with just water and mild soap.
Non-Greasy Stains Stains caused by catsup, coffee (black), egg, fruit,fruit juice, milk, soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine and blood can be removed as follows: 0 Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area with cool water. 0 If a stain remains, follow the foam-type instructions describedearlier. 0 If an odor lingers after cleaningvomit or urine, treat the area with a watedbaking soda solution: 1 teaspoon ( 5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water.
Care of Safety Belts Keep belts clean and dry. Glass Glass shouldbe cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner(GM Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films. Don’t use abrasive cleanerson glass, because they may cause scratches. Avoid placing decalson the inside rearwindow, since they may have to be scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners areused on the inside of the rear window, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Cleaning the Outsideof Your Vehicle The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss retention and durability. Washing Your Vehicle The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm orcold water. Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct raysof the sun. Don’t use strong soaps or chemical detergents.Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soaps.
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep their luster. Washing with water is all that is usually needed. However,you may use GM Chrome Polish on chrome or stainlesssteel trim, if necessary. Use special care with aluminum trim. To avoid damaging protective trim, never use auto orchrome polish, steam or caustic soapto clean aluminum. A coating of wax, rubbed to high polish, is recommended for all bright metal parts.
Finish Damage Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches 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 berepaired with touch-up materials available from your dealer or other serviceoutlets. Larger areasof finish damagecan 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.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuitsin your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index for more information. Headlamps The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the lamp switch. An electrical overloadwill cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off.
Fuse Block The fuse block is in the instrument panel on the driver’s side. Remove the cover with a screwdriver. You can remove fuses with a fuseextractor. To remove fuses if you don’t have a fuse extractor,hold the end of the fuse between your thumb and index fingerand pull straight out. Be sure to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse,you can “borrow” one of the correct value.

Scheduled Maintenance Services Section IMPORTANT: KEEP ENGINE OIL AT THE PROPER LEVEL AND CHANGE AS RECOMMENDED This section covers themaintenance required foryour vehicle. Your vehicle needs these services to retain its safety, dependability and emission control performance. Protection I Have you purchased the GM Protection Plan? The Plan supplementsyour new vehiclewarranties. See your GM dealer for details.
How This Section is Organized The remainder of this section is divided into five parts: “Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services”shows what to have done and how often. Someof 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 anotherqualified 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.
Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services Using Your Maintenance Schedule We at GeneralMotors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll driveit. You may drive very short distances onlya 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 orin many other ways.
I Schedule I Definition I Follow Maintenance Schedule I if any one of these is true for your vehicle: Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km). This is particularly important when outside temperatures are below freezing. Most trips include extensiveidling (such as frequent driving in stop and go traffic). Most trips are through dusty areas. You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of your vehicle.
