Maintenance Footnotes

(a) Visually inspect brake lines and hoses for proper

hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chaﬁng, etc. Inspect

disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface

condition. Inspect drum brake linings/shoes for wear or

cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums,

wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. Check

parking brake adjustment.

are cracked, swollen, or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,

ﬁttings and clamps; replace with genuine GM parts as

needed. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test

of the cooling system and pressure cap and cleaning the

outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is

recommended at least once a year.

(d) Visually inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking.

Replace wiper blades that appear worn or damaged

or that streak or miss areas of the windshield.

(e) Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your

belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and anchorages

are working properly. Look for any other loose or

damaged safety belt system parts. If you see anything

that might keep a safety belt system from doing its

job, have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts

replaced. Also look for any opened or broken airbag

coverings, and have them repaired or replaced.

The airbag system does not need regular maintenance.

(f) Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood latch

assemblies, secondary latches, pivots, spring anchor

and release pawl, hood and door hinges, rear folding

seats, and liftgate hinges. More frequent lubrication may

be required when exposed to a corrosive environment.

Applying silicone grease on weatherstrips with a

clean cloth will make them last longer, seal better, and

not stick or squeak.

(g) If you drive regularly under dusty conditions, the

ﬁlter may require replacement more often.

(h) Change automatic transaxle ﬂuid if the vehicle is

mainly driven under one or more of these conditions:

− In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature

regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or higher.

− In hilly or mountainous terrain.

− When doing frequent trailer towing.

− Uses such as found in taxi, police, or delivery

service.
