WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See “Manual Transmission” in the Index.
A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair if needed.
Check the gear lubricant level in the rear axle and add if needed. See “Rear Axle” in the Index.
A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Check the axle and repair it
if needed. If your vehicle
is used to pull a trailer, have the rear axle gear lubricant changed 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 serv-
iced. 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.

Custumer 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.
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.
