Underbody Inspection
Corrosive materials used for ice, snow removal,
and dust control can collect on the underbody.
If these materials are not removed, accelerated
corrosion (rust) can occur on underbody parts
such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust
system. At least every spring, flush these materials
from the underbody with plain water. Take care
to clean well any areas where mud and other
debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed
areas of the frame should be loosened before
being flushed.
Engine Cover Check
Check that the cab’s engine cover and seal
(if equipped) are not torn or damaged.
Be sure that the cover is clamped down firmly
to the floor.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified in Part C.
Underbody Flushing Service
At least every spring, use plain water to flush
any corrosive materials from the underbody.
Take care to clean thoroughly any areas where
mud and other debris can collect.
Tractor Protection (Breakaway)
Valve Check
On air brake models, remove, disassemble,
clean, and inspect the tractor protection
(breakaway) valve.

Vehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders
Your vehicle, like other modern motor vehicles, has
a number of sophisticated computer systems that
monitor and control several aspects of the vehicle’s
performance. Your vehicle uses on-board vehicle
computers to monitor emission control components
to optimize fuel economy, to monitor conditions for
airbag deployment and, if so equipped, to provide
anti-lock braking and to help the driver control
the vehicle in difficult driving situations. Some
information may be stored during regular operations
to facilitate repair of detected malfunctions; other
information is stored only in a crash event by
computer systems, such as those commonly
called event data recorders (EDR).
In a crash event, computer systems, such as the
Airbag Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
in your vehicle may record information about the
condition of the vehicle and how it was operated,
such as data related to engine speed, brake
application, throttle position, vehicle speed,safety belt usage, airbag readiness, airbag
performance, and the severity of a collision.
This information has been used to improve vehicle
crash performance and may be used to improve
crash performance of future vehicles and
driving safety. Unlike the data recorders on many
airplanes, these on-board systems do not
record sounds, such as conversation of vehicle
occupants.
To read this information, special equipment is
needed and access to the vehicle or the device
that stores the data is required. GM will not access
information about a crash event or share it with
others other than:
•with the consent of the vehicle owner or,
if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of
the lessee,
•in response to an official request of police or
similar government office,
•as part of GM’s defense of litigation through
the discovery process, or
•as required by law.
