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
proper parts and
practices.

Vehicle
A
d
The
Environment
Proper vehicle
mainte
nce
not
only helps
keep
your
vehicle
in
good
working condition, bur
11
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.
If
you are skilled
enough to
do
some
work
on
your
vehicle,
you
will
probably
want
to
get
the
service information GM publishes. You will find a
list
of
publications
and
how
to
get
them
in
Section
8,
Customer Assistance
Information.
See “Service Publications”
in
the
Index.
The Maintenance
Record
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 this section. 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
for
warranty repairs.
