CHEVROLET ASTRO PASSENGER 1993 1.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Most bulletins apply to conditions affecting a small number of cars or trucks.
Your Chevrolet dealer or a qualified technician may have to determine
if a
specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.
You can subscribe to all Chevrolet bulletins by calling Helm, Inc. at
1-800-782-4356. This way you’ll get them as they come out.
lndividual PSP’s
If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s issued by Chevrolet for all car and
truck models in the model year, you can buy individual PSP’s, such as those\

which may pertain to a particular model. To do this, you will first need to see
our index of PSP’s.
It provides a variety of information. Here’s what you’ll find
in the index and how you can get one:
What You’ll Find in the Index:
A list of all PSP’s published by Chevrolet in a model year (1989 or
later). PSP’s covering all models of Chevrolet cars or light trucks less
than 10,000 pounds (4536 kg)
GWVR are listed in the same index.
Ordering information so you can buy the specific PSP’s you may want.
Price information for the PSP’s you may want to buy.
How You Can Get an Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most of the PSP’s which could potentially
apply to the most recent Chevrolet models will be listed in the most recent
publication for that model year. This means you may want to wait until the
end of the model year before ordering an index,
if you are interested in
buying PSP’s pertaining to a current model year truck.
Some PSP’s pertaining to a particular model year vehicle may be published in
later years, and these would be listed in the later year’s index. When you
order an index for a model year that is not over yet, we’ll sen\
d you the most
recently published issue. Check the ordering form for indexes f\
or earlier model
years.
Cut out the ordering form,
fill it out, and mail it in. We will then see to it that
an index is mailed to you. There is no charge for indexes for the 1989-1993
model years.
Toll-Free Telephone Number
If you want an additional ordering form for an index or a subscr\
iption, just
call toll-free and we’ll be happy to send you one. Automated recording
equipment will take your name and mailing address. The number
to call is
1-800-551 -4123.
