A Word About Maintenance We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll drive it. You may drive very short distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive long distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle in making deliveries. Or you may drive it to work, to do errands, or in many other ways. Because of all the different ways people use their GM vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may even need more frequent checks and replacements than you will find in the schedules in this section. So please read this section and note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition, see your GM dealer, the place many GM owners choose to have their maintenance work done. Your dealer can be relied upon to use the proper parts and practices. Your Vehicle and the Environment Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps keep your vehicle in good working condition, but also helps the environment. All recommended maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the removal of important components can significantly affect the quality of the air we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even the wrong tire inflation can increase the level of emissions from your vehicle. To help protect our environment, and to help keep your vehicle in good condition, please maintain your vehicle properly. Recording Maintenance Services The Maintenance Record near the end of this section provides a place for you to record the maintenance performed on your vehicle. Whenever any maintenance is performed, be sure to write it down in the Maintenance Record. This will help you determine when your next maintenance should be done. In addition, it is a good idea to keep your maintenance receipts. They may be needed to qualify your vehicle warranty repairs.
7-2
If you are skilled enough to do some work on your vehicle, you will probably want to get the service information GM publishes. For information on how to obtain various service publications for your vehicle, see “Service Publications” in the Index. You will find a list of publications and an order form in the back of the book. Scheduled Maintenance Services This part tells you the maintenance services that you should have done and the times 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 for your service needs, you’ll know that GM-trained and supported service people will perform the work using genuine GM parts. These schedules are for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within the recommended limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle’s Certification Label. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index. are driven on regular road surfaces, and within legal driving limits, as described in Section 4 “Your Driving and the Road.” are driven off-road in the recommended manner. See “Off Road Driving With Your Four-wheel Drive Vehicle” in the Index. use the recommended fuel. See “Fuel” in the Index.
Selecting the Proper Maintenance Services To find the proper maintenance schedule for your vehicle, you must know two things. What engine your vehicle has, and how you use your vehicle. Your engine type will tell you which chart to use, and your driving conditions will tell you which schedule to use. The charts are found later in this section.
Selecting the Proper Maintenance Chart Your engine type (Gasoline or Diesel) and its emissions classification (Light Duty or Heavy Duty Emissions) will tell you which maintenance chart to use. Find your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and look at the eighth character to see what your engine code is. Then use the following Engine Emissions Classifications tables to find your emissions classification. 0 Your VIN is on the plate on the top left corner of your instrument
panel, the Certification Label and on the Service Parts Identification Label. See “Vehicle Identification Number” in the Index. If your engine has more than one emissions classification, look at your Certification Label to see what your Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.

Selecting the Proper Maintenance Schedule Here is how to tell which schedule to follow once you find the proper maintenance chart to use. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE I Is any one of these true for your vehicle?
Most trips are less than 4 miles (6 kilometers.) Most trips are less than 10 miles (16 kilometers), and the outside temperatures are below freezing. The engine is at low speed most of the time (as in door-to-door delivery, stop-and-go traffic, or commercial use). 0 You operate in dusty areas or off-road frequently.
You tow a trailer.
If any one (or more) of these is true for your driving, follow Schedule I. Schedule I is shown by a plus sign (+) on the chart. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE II Follow Schedule I1 ONLY if none of the above conditions are true. Schedule I1 is shown by a dot ( 0 ) on the chart.

25. BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION? - When the engine oil is
changed, inspect the lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Check the parking brake adjust, and the fluid level in the master cylinder. A low fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be serviced. When the wheels are removed for rotation, inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel cylinders, parking brake, etc., at the same time. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel and mounting surfaces before mounting the wheel. Inspect brakes more often if driving habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
Owner Checks and Services Listed below are owner checks and services which should be made at the time period specified to help ensure proper safety, emission performance, and dependability of your vehicle. Be sure any necessary repairs are completed at once. Whenever any fluids or lubricants are added to your vehicle, make sure they are the proper ones, as shown in this Section.

Customer Satisfaction Procedure Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and Chevrolet. Normally, any concern with the sales transaction or the operation of your vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s Sales or Service Departments. Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions of all concerned, misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should be taken: STEP ONE - Discuss your concern with a member of dealership management. Normally, concerns can often be quickly resolved at that level If the matter has already been reviewed with the Sales, Service, or Parts Manager, contact the owner of the dealership or the General Manager. STEP TWO - If after contacting a member of dealership management, it appears your concern cannot be resolved by the dealership without further help, contact the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center by calling 1-800-222-1020. Center in Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777 1-800-263-7854 In Mexico, call (525) 254-3777. In Puerto Rico or U.S. Virgin Islands, call 1-809-763-13 15.

That is why we suggest you follow Step One first if you have a concern. Customer Assistance for the Hearing or Speech Impaired (TDD) To assist customers who have hearing difficulties, Chevrolet has installed special TDD (Telecommunication Devices for the Deaf) equipment at its Customer Assistance Center.

GM Participation in BBB AUTO LINE - Alternative Dispute Resolution Program* *This program may not be available in all states, depending on state law. Canadian owners refer to your Warranty and Owner Assistance information booklet. General Motors reserves the right to change eligibility limitations and/or to discontinue its participation in this program. Both Chevrolet and your Chevrolet dealer are committed to making sure you are completely satisfied with your new vehicle. Our experience has shown if a situation arises where you feel your concern has not been adequately addressed, that the Customer Satisfaction Procedure described earlier in this section is very successful. There may be instances where an impartial third-party can assist in arriving at a solution to a disagreement regarding vehicle repairs or interpretation of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. To assist in resolving these disagreements Chevrolet voluntarily participates in BBB AUTO LINE. BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court program administered by the Better Business Bureau system to settle disputes between customers and automobile manufacturers. This program is available free of charge to customers who currently own or lease a GM vehicle. If you are not satisfied after following the Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you may contact the BBB using the toll-free telephone number, or write them at the following address:
BBB AUTO LINE Council of Better Business Bureaus 4200 Wilson Boulevard Suite 800 Arlington, VA Telephone: 1-800-955-5 100 22203
8-3
To file a claim, you will be asked to provide your name and address, your vehicle identification number (VIN), and a statement of the nature of your complaint. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age and mileage, and other factors. We prefer you utilize the customer satisfaction procedure before you resort to AUTO LINE, but you may contact the BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt to resolve the complaint serving as an intermediary between you and Chevrolet. If this mediation is unsuccessful, an informal hearing will be scheduled where eligible customers may present their case to an impartial third-party arbitrator. The arbitrator will make a decision which you may accept or reject. If you accept the decision, GM will be bound by that decision. The entire dispute resolution procedure should ordinarily take about forty days from the time you file a claim until a decision is made. Some state laws may require you to use this program before filing a claim with a state-run arbitration program or in the courts. For further information, contact the BBB at 1-800-955-5 100 or the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-222-1 020. REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to notifying General Motors. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or General Motors. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in the Washington, D.C. area) or write to:

Service Publications Information on how to obtain Product Service Publications (PSP’s) and Indexes as described below is applicable only in the fifty U.S. states (and the District of Columbia) and only for cars and light trucks with GVWR less than 10,000 pounds (4 536 kg). In Canada, information pertaining to Product Service Bulletins and Indexes can be obtained by writing to:
General Motors of Canada Limited Service Publications Department 1908 Colonel Sam Dr. Oshawa, Ontario L 1 H 8P7 Chevrolet regularly sends its dealers useful service bulletins about Chevrolet products. Chevrolet monitors product performance in the field. We then prepare bulletins for servicing our products better. Now, you can get these bulletins too.
8-7
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some pertain to the proper use and care of your vehicle. Some describe costly repairs. Others describe inexpensive repairs which, if done on time with the latest parts, may avoid future costly repairs. Some bulletins tell a technician how to repair a new or unexpected condition. Others describe a quicker way to fix your vehicle. They can help a technician service your vehicle better. Most bulletins apply to conditions affecting a small number of cars or trucks. Your Chevrolet dealer or a qualified technician may have to determine if a specific bulletin applies to your vehicle. You can subscribe to all Chevrolet’s bulletins by calling Helm, Inc. at 1-800-7824356. This way you’ll get them as they become available.
Individual PSP’s If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s issued by Chevrolet for all car or truck models in the model year, you can buy individual PSP’s, such as those which may pertain to a particular model. To do this, you will first need to see our index of PSP’s. It provides a variety of information. Here’s what you’ll find in the index and how you can get one:
What You’ll Find in the Index:
A list of PSP’s published by Chevrolet in a model year (1990 or later). PSP’s covering all models of Chevrolet cars or light trucks (less than 10,000 pounds (4 536 kg) GVWR) are listed in the same index.
0 Ordering information so you can buy the specific PSP’s you may want. 0 Price information for the PSP’s you may want to buy. How You Can Get an Index: Indexes are published periodically. Most of the PSP’s which could potentially apply to the most recent Chevrolet models will be listed in the most recent publication for that model year. This means you may want to wait until the end of the model year before ordering an index, if you are interested in buying PSP’s pertaining to a current model year car or truck. Some PSP’s pertaining to a particular model year vehicle may be published in later years, and these would be listed in the later year’s index. When you order an index for a model year that is not over yet, we’ll send you the most recently published issue. Check the ordering form for indexes for earlier model years. Lut out the ordering form, fill it out, and mail it in. We will then see to it that an index is mailed to you. There is no charge for indexes for the 1989-1994 model years.
8-8
Toll-Free Telephone Number If you want an additional ordering form for an index, just call toll-free and we’ll be happy to send you one. Automated recording equipment will take your name and mailing address. The number to call is 1-800-55 14123.
Copies at Participating Dealers Copies of Indexes and individual PSP’s are at your participating Chevrolet dealer. You can ask to see them. A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER: These PSP’s are meant for technicians. They are not meant for the “do-it-yourselfer.’’ Technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job quickly and safely. Chevrolet reserves the right to change these procedures without notice.
Chevrolet Service Publications You can get these Product Service Publications by using the order form. You can also get Service Manuals and Owner Publications.
