Maintenance Schedule
Introduction:
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 part.
So
please read this part and note how you
drive. If you
have
any questions on how
to keep your vehicle
in
good condition,
see your Geo 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.
Your
Vehicle
and
the
Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only
helps to 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.
How
This Part
is
Organized
The remainder of this part
is
divided into
five sections:
“Section
A:
Scheduled Maintenance
Services” shows what to have done and
how often. Some of these services can be
complex,
so
unless you are technically
qualified and have the necessary
equipment,
you
should let your dealer’s
service department or another qualified
service center do these jobs.
f
you are skilled enough to do some
work on your vehicle, you will probably
want
to
get the service information
SM
publishes. You
will
find a list
of
wblications and how to get them in this
nanual. See “Service Publications”
in
he Index.
‘Section B: Owner Checks and Services”
ells you what should be checked
whenever you stop for fuel. It also
:xplains what you can easily do to help
:eep your vehicle in good condition.
