Brake Fluid
The brake master cylinder
reservoir is filled with GM
approved DOT 4 brake fluid as
indicated on the reservoir cap.
See Engine Compartment
Overview0331 for the
location of the reservoir.
Checking Brake Fluid
With the vehicle in P (Park) on
a level surface, the brake fluid
level should be between the
minimum and maximum marks
on the brake fluid reservoir.
There are only two reasons
why the brake fluid level in the
reservoir may go down:
.Normal brake lining wear.
When new linings are
installed, the fluid level goes
back up.
.A fluid leak in the brake
hydraulic system. Have the
brake hydraulic system fixed.
With a leak, the brakes will
not work well.
Always clean the brake fluid
reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before
removing it.
Do not top off the brake fluid.
Adding fluid does not correct a
leak. If fluid is added when the
linings are worn, there will be
too much fluid when new
brake linings are installed. Add
or remove fluid, as necessary,
only when work is done on the
brake hydraulic system.
{Warning
If too much brake fluid is
added, it can spill on the
engine and burn, if the
engine is hot enough. You or
others could be burned, and
the vehicle could be (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
damaged. Add brake fluid
only when work is done on
the brake hydraulic system.
When the brake fluid falls to a
low level, the brake warning
light comes on. See Brake
System Warning Light 0128.
Brake fluid absorbs water over
time which degrades the
effectiveness of the brake
fluid. Replace brake fluid at the
specified intervals to prevent
increased stopping distance.
See Maintenance Schedule
0 425.
What to Add
Use only GM approved DOT 4
brake fluid from a clean, sealed
container. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0429.

5. Push the new bladeassembly securely on the
wiper arm until the release
lever clicks into place.
6. Start the engine and the rear wiper will return to its
normal position.
Windshield
Replacement
HUD System
If equipped, the windshield is
part of the HUD system. If the
windshield must be replaced,
get one that is designed for
HUD or the HUD image may
look out of focus.
Driver Assistance
Systems
When a windshield
replacement is needed and the
vehicle is equipped with a
front-looking camera sensor
for the Driver Assistance
Systems, the windshield must
be installed according to GM
specifications for these systems to work properly. If it
is not, there may be
unexpected behavior and/or
messages from these
systems.
Acoustic Windshield
The vehicle is equipped with
an acoustic windshield. If the
windshield needs to be
replaced, be sure to get an
acoustic windshield so you will
continue to have the benefits
an acoustic windshield can
provide.
Gas Strut(s)
Your vehicle may be equipped
with gas strut(s) to provide
assistance in lifting and
holding open the hood/trunk/
liftgate system in full open
position.
{Warning
If the gas struts that hold
open the hood, trunk, and/or
liftgate fail, you or others
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
could be seriously injured.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer for service
immediately. Visually inspect
the gas struts for signs of
wear, cracks, or other
damage periodically. Check
to make sure the hood/
trunk/liftgate is held open
with enough force. If struts
are failing to hold the hood/
trunk/liftgate, do not
operate. Have the vehicle
serviced.
Caution
Do not apply tape or hang
any objects from gas struts.
Also do not push down or
pull on gas struts. This may
cause damage to the
vehicle.
See Maintenance Schedule
0 425.

.There is cord or fabric
showing through the
tire's rubber.
.The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
.The tire has a bump,
bulge, or split.
.The tire has a puncture,
cut, or other damage that
cannot be repaired well
because of the size or
location of the damage.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated
according to the interval
specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Maintenance Schedule
0425. Tires are rotated to
achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most
important.
Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation
pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels.
If the unusual wear
continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is
Time for New Tires
0382
and Wheel Replacement
0 387.
Use this rotation pattern
when rotating the tires.
Do not include the compact
spare tire in the tire
rotation.
Adjust the front and rear
tires to the recommended
inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading
Information label after the
tires have been rotated.
See Tire Pressure 0372
and Vehicle Load Limits
0 242.

General
Information
Your vehicle is an important
investment. This section
describes the required
maintenance for the vehicle.
Follow this schedule to help
protect against major repair
expenses resulting from
neglect or inadequate
maintenance. It may also help
to maintain the value of the
vehicle if it is sold. It is the
responsibility of the owner to
have all required maintenance
performed.
Your dealer has trained
technicians who can perform
required maintenance using
genuine replacement parts.
They have up-to-date tools
and equipment for fast and
accurate diagnostics. Many
dealers have extended
evening and Saturday hours,
courtesy transportation, and
online scheduling to assist
with service needs. Your dealer recognizes the
importance of providing
competitively priced
maintenance and repair
services. With trained
technicians, the dealer is the
place for routine maintenance
such as oil changes and tire
rotations and additional
maintenance items like tires,
brakes, batteries, and wiper
blades.
Caution
Damage caused by improper
maintenance can lead to
costly repairs and may not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Maintenance
intervals, checks,
inspections, recommended
fluids, and lubricants are
important to keep the
vehicle in good working
condition.
Do not have chemical
flushes that are not
approved by GM performed

on the vehicle. The use of
flushes, solvents, cleaners,
or lubricants that are not
approved by GM could
damage the vehicle,
requiring expensive repairs
that are not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
The Tire Rotation and
Required Services are the
responsibility of the vehicle
owner. It is recommended to
have your dealer perform
these services every
12 000 km/7,500 mi. Proper
vehicle maintenance helps to
keep the vehicle in good
working condition, improves
fuel economy, and reduces
vehicle emissions.
Because of the way people
use vehicles, maintenance
needs vary. There may need to
be more frequent checks and
services. The Additional
Required Services - Normal
are for vehicles that:
.Carry passengers and cargo
within recommended limits
on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0242.
.Are driven on reasonable
road surfaces within legal
driving limits.
.Use the recommended fuel.
See Recommended Fuel
0310.
Refer to the information in the
Maintenance Schedule
Additional Required Services -

.Mainly driven in heavy city
traffic in hot weather.
.Mainly driven in hilly or
mountainous terrain.
.Frequently towing a trailer.
.Used for high speed or
competitive driving.
.Used for taxi, police,
or delivery service. Refer to the information in the
Maintenance Schedule
Additional Required Services -
Severe Service.
{Warning
Performing maintenance
work can be dangerous and
can cause serious injury.

only if the required
information, proper tools,
and equipment are available.
If they are not, see your
dealer to have a trained
technician do the work. See
Doing Your Own Service
