(2)= An Emission Control Service.
(3)= A Noise Emission Control Device.
(4)= Applies to vehicles sold in the United States
and is recommended for vehicles sold in Canada.
(5)= Check fluid level in brake master cylinder,
power steering pump, front and rear axles,
transmission, and hydraulic spring parking brake
pump (if equipped). A low fluid level in the
brake master cylinder can indicate worn brake
linings and should be checked accordingly.
(6)= Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for
surface condition. Inspect caliper assemblies.
Check brake pedal for excessive free play or
travel (or every 6 months, whichever occurs first)
and have serviced if needed. Check brakes
more often if driving habits and conditions result
in frequent braking.(7)= This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System.
This system will show you when to change the
engine oil and filter — usually between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 12,000 miles (20 000 km) since
your last oil change. Under severe conditions,
the indicator may come on before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km). Never drive your 7.8L diesel engine
vehicle more than 12,000 miles (20 000 km),
or 12 months, or 600 engine hours, without an
oil and filter change.
Remember to reset the Engine Oil Life System
whenever the oil is changed. For more information,
seeEngine Oil Life System (Gasoline Engine)
on page 276orEngine Oil Life System
(DURAMAX
®Diesel) on page 278orEngine

Starter Switch Check
{CAUTION:
When you are doing this inspection, the
vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle
moves, you or others could be injured.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough
room around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the parking brake and the
regular brakes.
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be ready
to turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to
start the engine in each gear. The starter
should work only in PARK (P), if equipped,
or NEUTRAL (N). If the starter works in
any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, the starter
should work only when the clutch pedal is
all the way down.
Automatic Transmission Shift
Indicator Check
Check that the indicator points to the gear chosen.
Steering Check
Be alert for any changes in steering action,
abnormal front tire wear or steering wheel position.
An inspection or service is needed when the
steering wheel is harder to turn or has too much
free play, or if there are strange sounds when
turning or parking.
Brake System Check
Be alert to illumination of the low air warning lamp
or for the tone alarm, or changes in braking
action, such as repeated pulling to one side,
unusual sounds when braking or increased
brake pedal travel. Make sure air brake system
reservoirs are drained daily with full system
air pressure, and check system for leaks.
Any of these conditions could indicate the need
for brake system inspection and/or service.
