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 other brake parts, including calipers,

parking brake, etc.

(b) Visually inspect front and rear suspension and

steering system for damaged, loose, or missing parts or

signs of wear. Inspect power steering lines and hoses

for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chaﬁng, etc.

they 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 blade inserts 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, door hinges and

latches, hood hinges and latches, and trunk lid hinges

and latches. 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.
