Convenience Net (Extended Cab)
A convenience net may be provided for the rear cab to help keep\
small
items, like gloves and light clothing
in place during sharp turns or quick stops
and starts. The net is not designed to retain these items during off-road use.
The net is not for larger, heavier items. Store such things on the load \
floor
as far forward as you can.
Install the convenience net at the rear of your vehicle, just below the rear
window. Attach the upper loops to the retainers below the window (the label
should be visible in the upper passenger side corner). The convenience net
has a maximum capacity of
25 pounds (11 kg).

Gages
Fuel Gage
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
KO272
The fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left, when the ignition
is on. When the gage first indicates empty, you still have a lit\
tle fuel left, but
you should get more fuel soon.
A box around the gage symbol on the digital cluster will begin to flash when
your tank
is 1/8 full or less.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a
problem with your fuel gage:
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For
example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, \
but
it
actually took a little more or less than half the tank‘s capacity to fill the
tank.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up. \
The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.
For your fuel tank capacity, see the Index under “Fluid Cap\
acities.”

. To Check Engine Oil: Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel
or cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip
lower.
When to Add Oil: If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to
add some oil. But you must use the right kind. This section \
explains what
kind
of oil to use. For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specification\
s”
in the Index.

II you put things inside your vehicle-like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else-they
will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they’ll keep going.
1 CAUTION
A Things you gut inside your vehicle can strike and injure peopl\
e in a
1 sudden stop or turn, or ita a ‘crash.
* Put things in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.

that some of them are above the tops of the seats.
0 When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it
whenever you can;
Don’t leave a seat folded down unless you need to.
Payload
The Payload Capacity is shown on the Certificationnire label. This is the
maximum load capacity that your vehicle can carry. Be sure to include the
weight of the people inside as part of your load.
If you added any
accessories or equipment after your vehicle
left the factory, remember to
subtract the weight of these things from the payload. Your dealer can help
you with this.

failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all
passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle \
Safety
Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on
the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for\
a tire that is
properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla\
tion, or
excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup
and possible tire failure.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tire\
s.
While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on \
General Motors
vehicles may vary with respect
to these grades, all such tires meet General
Motors performance standards and have been approved for use on \
General
Motors vehicles.
All passenger type (P Metric) tires must conform to Federal
safety requirements in addition
to these grades.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully \
ar IT.-
factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need
to have your wheels aligned again.
However,
if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way \
or
the other, the alignment may need
to be reset. If you notice your vehicle
vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need
to be
rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts keep
coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be\
replaced. If
the wheel leaks air out, replace it (except some aluminum wheels, which can
sometimes be repaired). See your GM dealer
if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, di\
ameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one
it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them only with
new GM original equipment parts. This way, you will
be sure you have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts\
for your
vehicle.
