Using the Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want to help you keep your
vehicle in good working condition. But we do not
know exactly how you will 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
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may need
more frequent checks and replacements. So please
read the following and note how you drive. If you
have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in
good condition, see your GM Goodwrench
®
dealer.
This schedule is for vehicles that:
•
carry passengers and cargo within
recommended limits. You will find these limits
on the Tire and Loading Information label.
See
Loading Your Vehicle on page 389 .
•
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within
legal driving limits.
•
use the recommended fuel. See Gasoline
Octane on page 412 .
The services in Scheduled Maintenance on
page 520 should be performed when indicated.
See Additional Required Services on page 523 and
Maintenance Footnotes on page 524 for further
information.

CAUTION:
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. In trying to do
some jobs, you can be seriously injured.
Do your own maintenance work only if
you have the required know-how and the
proper tools and equipment for the job.
If you have any doubt, see your GM
Goodwrench
®
dealer to have a qualified
technician do the work. See Doing Your
Own Service Work on page 411 .
Some maintenance services can be complex. So,
unless you are technically qualified and have the
necessary equipment, you should have your GM
Goodwrench
®
dealer do these jobs.
