type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get
the wrong type, it may not fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light and your fuel tank and emissions system may be
damaged. See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.

How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine’what

by fluid other than DEXRON-111
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check.”

Tires
Yo%fS%%v vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by
a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever have questions
about your tire warranty and where to
obtain service, see
your
GM Warranty booklet for details.
A CAUTIOI.:
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires
are dangerous.

Overloading your tires can cause
overheating as
a result of too much friction.
You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in
the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely
to be
cut, punctured
or broken by a sudden
impact
-- such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If your
tread is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.

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.
