Section 5 CHEVROLET ASTRO CARGO VAN 1995 2.G Owner's Guide

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuse Block
The fuse block is in
the instrument panel
on the driver’s side.
Remove
the cover
with a screwdriver.
You
can remove fuses
with a fuse extractor.
To remove fuses if you don’t have a fuse extractor, hold the end of the fuse
between your thumb and index finger and pull straight out.
Be sure
to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a problem on the road and
don’t have a spare fuse,
you can “borrow” one of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without-like the radio
or cigarette lighter-and use its fuse, if it is
of the value you need. Replace
it as soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in this section.
Capacities and Specification Charts
Replacement Parts

part listed
in this manual is not the same as the part used in your vehicle
when
it was built, or if you have any questions, please contact your GM
truck dealer.

IMPORTANT:
KEEP ENGINE OIL
AT THE PROPER
LEVEL AND CHANGE
AS RECOMMENDED
Section
This section covers the maintenance required for your vehicle. Your vehicle
needs these services to retain its safety, dependability and emission control
performance.
Protection I
Have you purchased the GM Protection Plan? The Plan supplements your
new vehicle warranties. See your GM dealer for details.
Introduction
Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your vehicle in good
working condition, but also helps the environment.
All recommended
maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the
removal of important components can significantly affect the quality of the
air we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even the wrong tire inflation can
increase the level
of emissions from your vehicle. To help protect our
environment, and
to help keep your vehicle in good condition, please
maintain your vehicle properly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How This Section is Organized
The remainder of this section is divided into five parts:
“Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services” shows what to have done and
how often. Some of
these services can be complex, so unless you are
technically qualified and have the necessary equipment,
you should let your
dealer’s service department or another qualified service center do
these jobs.
If
you are skilled enough to do some work on your vehicle, you will
probably want to get the service information
GM publishes. See “Service
Publications”
in the Index.
“Part B: Owner Checks and Services” tells you what should be checked
whenever you stop for fuel. It also explains what
you can easily do to help
keep your
vehicle in good condition.
“Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections” explains important
inspections that your
GM dealer’s service department or another qualified
service center should perform.
“Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” lists some products GM
recommends to help keep your vehicle properly maintained. These products,
or their equivalents, should be used whether you do the work yourself or
have
it done.
“Part E: Maintenance Record” provides a place for you to record the
maintenance performed on your vehicle. Whenever any maintenance is
performed, be sure
to write it down in this part. This will help you
determine when your next maintenance should be done. In addition,
it is a
good idea to keep your maintenance receipts. They may be needed to
qualify your vehicle for warranty repairs.

Using Your Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working
condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll drive it.
You may drive
very short distances only
a few times a week. Or you may drive long
distances all the time
in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle
in making deliveries.
Or you may drive it to work, to do errands or in many
other ways.
Because
of all the different iYi@ people use their GM vehicles, maintenance
needs vary. You may even need more frequent checks and replacements than
you’ll find in the schedules in this section.
So please read this section and
note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your
vehicle
in good condition, see your GM dealer.
This part tells you the maintenance services you should have done and when
you should schedule them. If you go to your dealer for your service needs,
you’ll know that GM-trained and supported service people will perform the
work using genuine GM parts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed
in Part D. Make sure
whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts should be replaced
and
all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will find
these limits on your vehicle’s CertificatiodTire label. See “Loading
Your Vehicle’’
in the Index.
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits.
use the recommended unleaded fuel. See “Fuel’’ in the Index.
Selecting the Right Schedu/e
First you’ll need to decide which of the two schedules is right for your
vehicle. Here’s how to decide which schedule
to follow:

Section
Here you will find out how to contact Chevrolet if you need assistance. This
section also tells you how to obtain service publications and how to report
any safety defects.
This section includes information on: The Customer Satisfaction Procedure,
Customer Assistance for Hearing or Speech Impaired,
BBB Auto Line -
Alternative Dispute Resolution Program, Reporting Safety Defects,
Roadside Assistance, and Service Publications.
Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and Chevrolet.
Normally, any concern with the sales transaction or the operation of your
vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s Sales or Service Departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has not been resolved to your
satisfaction, the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE - Discuss your concern with a member of dealership
management. Normally, concerns can be quickly resolved at that level. If
the matter has already been reviewed
with the Sales, Service, or Parts
Manager, contact the owner
of the dealership or the General Manager.

disagreements, Chevrolet voluntarily participates
in BBB AUTO LINE.
