INSPECTION
OR SERVICE
Rear Axle Service
Brake System Inspection
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Check the gear lubricant level in the rear axle and add if needed. See “Rear Axle” in the Index. A
fluid
loss in this system may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair it if needed. If your
vehicle
is used to pull a trailer, change the gear lubricant every 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect drum
brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel cylinders,
calipers, parking brake, etc. The parking brake is self-adjusting and no manual adjustment is
required. You may need to have your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits or conditions
result in frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be serviced.
Also, if the brake system warning light stays on
or comes on, something may be wrong with the
brake system. See “Brake System Warning Light” in
the Index. If your anti-lock brake system
warning light stays on, comes on or flashes, something may be wrong with the anti-lock brake
system. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in
the Index.

Customer Assistance Information
Customer Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and Chevrolet.
Normally, any concerns
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.
Complaints can often 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.
STEP TWO: If after contacting a
member
of Dealership Management, it
appears your concern cannot be resolved
by the dealership without further help,
contact the Chevrolet Customer
Assistance Center by calling
1-800-222- 1020. In Canada, contact
GM of Canada Customer Assistance
Center in Oshawa by calling
1-800-263-3777 (English) or
1-800-263-7854 (French). In Mexico, call
(525) 254-3777. In
Puerto Rico or
U.S. Virgin Islands, call 1-809-763- 13 15.
In all other overseas locations, contact
GM International Export Sales in
Canada by calling 1-4 16-644-4 1 12.
For prompt assistance, please have the
following information available to give
the Customer Assistance Representative:
Your name, address, telephone
number
Vehicle Identification Number (This is
available from the vehicle registration
or title, or the plate attached to the left
top of
