Scheduled Maintenance Services
Using
Your
Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle
in
good working
condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll drive it. You may drive
very short distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive long
distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle
in making deliveries. Or
you
may drive
it
to work,
to
do errands or in many
other ways.
Because of all
the
different ways people use their GM vehicles, maintenance
needs vary. You may even need more frequent checks and replacements than
you’ll 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.
This part tells
you
the maintenance services
you
should have done and when
you should schedule them. 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.
The proper fluids and lubricants
to
use are listed
in
Part
D.
Make sure
whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts should be replaced and
all necessary repairs done before
you
or anyone else drives the vehicle.
