CHEVROLET CAVALIER 1993 1.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Individual PSP’S
If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s
issued
by Chevrolet for all car or 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 bu’ll Find in the Index
A list of all PSPs published by
Chevrolet in a model year (1989 or
later). PSP’s covering
all models of
Chevrolet cars or light trucks (less
than
l0,OOO pounds (4 536 kg)
GVWR) 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 bu Can Get an Index
Indexes are published periodically. Most
of the PSPs 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
car or 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 send you the most
recently published issue. Check the
ordering form for indexes for earlier
model years.
