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
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 Pontiac 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.
These schedules
are

passengers and cargo
within
recommended

find these
limits
on your vehicle’s
Tire-Loading Information label.

Selecting the
Right
Schedule
First
you’ll need
to
decide which of the
two
schedules
is
right
for
your
vehicle. Here’s
how
to
decide which
schedule to follow:
