CAUTION
This vehicle contains some parts dimensioned in the metric system
as well as in the customary system. Some fasteners are metric and
are very close in dimension to familiar customary fasteners in the
inch system. It is important to note that, during any vehicle mainte­
nance procedures, replacement fasteners m ust have the same
measurements and strength as those removed, whether metric or
customary. (Numbers on the heads of metric bolts and on surfaces
o f metric nuts indicate their strength. Customary bolts use radial
lines for this purpose, while most customary nuts do not have
strength markings.) Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in
vehicle damage or malfunction, or possibly personal injury. There­
fore, fasteners removed from the vehicle should be saved for re-use
in the same locations whenever possible. Where the fasteners are
not satisfactory for re-use, care should be taken to select a re­
placement that matches the original. For information and assis­
tance, see your Chevrolet dealer.
