Maintenance I

MAINTENANCE I

1. CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER. Reset the oil life system. Refer to GM Oil Life System. An Emission Control Service.

2. VISUALLY INSPECT FOR ANY LEAKS OR DAMAGE. A fluid loss in any vehicle system could indicate a problem. Inspect and repair the system and inspect the fluid level. Add fluid if needed.

3. INSPECT ENGINE AIR CLEANER FILTER. If necessary, replace the filter. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit the recall liability prior to the completion of the vehicle's useful life. It is, however, strongly recommended that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals and that the maintenance be recorded.

4. ROTATE THE TIRES AND INSPECT THE TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES AND THE TIRE WEAR.

5. INSPECT THE BRAKE SYSTEM. Visually inspect the brake lines and the hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect the disc brake pads for wear and inspect the rotors for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts, including the calipers, the parking brake, etc. Inspect the parking brake adjustment.

6. INSPECT THE ENGINE COOLANT AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID LEVELS. ADD FLUID AS NEEDED.

7. PERFORM ANY NEEDED ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Refer to Additional Required Services.
