on the Tire Placard located on the edge of the driver's door. |
| • | Are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits. |
| • | Driven off-road in the recommended manner. For information on the recommended
driving manners, refer to the Owner's Manual |
| • | On unleaded gasoline of the recommended type. For information on the proper
type of fuel to use, refer to the Owner's Manual. |
Maintenance Schedule Intervals
The services shown in this schedule up to 166 000 km (100,000 miles)
should be performed after 166 000 km (100,000 miles) at the same
intervals. The services shown in this schedule to be performed at 240 000 km
(150,000 miles) should be performed after 240 000 km (150,000 miles)
at the same intervals.

Maintenance Schedule Engine Oil Change Intervals
This vehicle is equipped with a GM Oil Life System ™. The GM Oil
Life System ™ will show when to change the engine oil and oil filter.
This will usually occur between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 16 000 km
(10,000 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the indicator
may come on before 5 000 km (3,000 miles).
Never drive the vehicle more than 16 000 km (10,000 miles)
or 12 months without an oil and oil filter change. The system will not detect
dust in the oil. If the vehicle is driven in a dusty area, be sure to change the oil
and oil filter every 5 000 km (3,000 miles) or sooner if the
CHANGE OIL SOON indicator comes on. Reset the Oil Life System when the oil and filter
have been changed.
This vehicle is equipped with an engine oil life monitor. For description and
resetting information, refer to
GM Oil Life System Resetting
.
This is an Emission Control Service.
Chassis Lubrication
Lubricate the chassis components with each engine oil and filter change. Lubricate
the front suspension, ball joints, steering linkage. transmission shift linkage, transfer
case shift linkage, parking brake cable guides, and brake front axle. Ball joints
should not be lubricated unless their temperature is -12°C (10°F) or higher,
or they could be damaged.
Footnotes
† 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 recall liability prior to the completion
of the vehicle's useful life. We, however, urge that all recommended maintenance services
be performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance be recorded.
+ A good time to check the brakes is during tire rotation. Refer to
