Remember, in freezing weather, don’t use your washer until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water
doesn’t clean
as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it is
completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.

Cruise Control (Option)
If you have Cruise
Control, the end of
your multifunction
lever will look like
this.
With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed
of about 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help
on long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph
(40 kdh).

Control
switch to
ON.

To Resume a Sef Speed
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you apply
the brake. This,
of course, shuts off the Cruise Control. But you don’t need
to reset
it.
Once you’re going
about
25 mph
(40 km/h) or more,
you can move the
Cruise Control switch
from
ON to WA
(Resume/Accelerate)
for about half a
second.
You’ll go right back
up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Remember, if you hold the switch at
R/A longer than half a second, the
vehicle
will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the
brake.
You could be startled and even lose control. So unless you want to go
faster, don’t hold the switch at
WA.
To lncrease Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the first:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push the button at
the end of
the
lever, then release
the button and the
accelerator pedal.
You’ll
now cruise
at the higher
speed.

Here’s the second way to go to a higher speed:
Move the Cruise
switch from
ON
to WA. Hold it
there until
you
get up to the
speed you want,
and then release
the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to WA.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph
(I .6 kdh) faster.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control:
Push in the
button at the end
of the lever until
you reach the
lower speed you
want, then release
it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control speed you
set earlier.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed
down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out
of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
0 Step lightly on
the brake pedal or
push the clutch
pedal, if you have
a manual
transmission
OR;
0 move the Cruise switch to
OFF.
To Erase 5peed Memory
When you turn off the Cruise Control or the ignition, your Cruise Control
set speed memory
is erased.

Fluid Leak Check
After the vehicle has been parked for a while, inspect the surface under the
vehicle for water, oil, fuel or other fluids. Water dripping from the air
conditioning system after it has been used is normal. If you notice fuel leaks
or fumes, the causes should be found and corrected at once.
Lubrication
Accelerator Control System
Your maintenance schedule will tell you how often the accelerator linkage
pivot points must be lubricated. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
in
the Index for the proper lubricant to use.
Accelerator cables and cruise control cables should not be lubricated. Any
cables that are worn or
are hard to pull should be replaced.
Hood Latches and Hood Hinge
Your maintenance schedule will tell you how often to lubricate the hood
latch and hood hinge assembly. See the Index under “Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants” for the proper lubricant to use.
Propeller Shaft Slip Splines
See your maintenance schedule to find out how often the slip splines must
be lubricated. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index for
the proper lubricant to use.
Constant Velocity Joints
See your maintenance schedule to find out how often the constant velocity
joints must be lubricated. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the
Index for the proper lubricant to use.
Normal
use of your vehicle will cause metal to metal wear at some points on
the cab and body if they are not lubricated.
For exposed surfaces, such
as door checks, door lock bolts, lock striker plates,
dovetail bumper wedges, etc., a thin
film of engine oil should be applied.
The seat adjusters and seat track should be lubricated
with chassis grease.
Door weather strips and rubber hood bumpers should be lightly coated with
a rubber lubricant.
Never use too much of any lubricant and be sure to wipe up any extra
lubricant when you are finished.

Lap and Shoulder Belts Condition and Operation - Inspect belt system,
including webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, guide loops\
and
anchors. Have
a belt assembly replaced if the webbing has been cut or
otherwise damaged.
Body Lubrication Service - Lubricate all body door hinges with engine
oil.
Also lubricate the tailgate, tailgate handle pivot points, and tailgate
mounted spare tire carrier (if equipped). Lubricate the body hood,
fuel door
and rear compartment hinges, latches and locks including interior glove box
and console doors, and any folding seat hardware. Lubricate the hood safety
lever pivot and prop rod pivot. More frequent lubrication may be required
when exposed to
a corrosive environment.
Periodic Maintenance Inspections - Listed below are inspections and
services which should be performed at least twice
a year (for instance each
spring or fall). You should let your
GM dealer’s service department or other
qualified service center do
these jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are
completed at once.
Steering and Suspension Inspection? - Inspect front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs
of wear or
lack of lubrication. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Lubricate the steering linkage.
Accelerator Control System - On gasoline engines, lubricate the pivot at
the
TBI throttle lever stud with engine oil. Do not oil any accelerator or
cruise control cables. Replace any cables that have high effort or excessive
wear.
Exhaust System Inspection - Inspect the complete system including the
three-way catalytic converter. Inspect the body near
the exhaust system.
Look for broken, damaged, missing or out-of-position parts,
as well as,
open seams, holes, loose connections or other conditions which could cause
a heat buildup
in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep into the
passenger compartments.
Drive Axle Service? - Check readfront axle tluid level and add as needed,
Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaking.
Transfer Case (Four-wheel Drive) Inspection+ - Every 12 months or at
oil change intervals, check front axle and transfer case and add lubricant
when necessary. Oil the control lever pivot point and all exposed control
linkage. Check
vent hose at transfer case for kinks and proper installation.
More frequent lubrication may be required on heavy-duty or off-road use.
?A fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected
and repaired at once.
