fuel GMC JIMMY 1997 Owner's Guide

Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on
properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on the
hood prop.
Remove the hood prop from the slot in the hood and
return the prop to its retainer.
Then just pull the hood down firmly to close. It will
latch when dropped from
10 to12 inches (25 to 30 cm)
without pressing on the hood.
Engine Oil
It’s a good idea to check your engine oil every time you
get fuel.
In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must
be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
The oil dipstick is a
yellow ring.
Turn
off the engine and give
the oil
a few minutes to
drain back into the oil pan.
If you don’t, the oil dipstick
might not show the
actual level.
Checking 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 down, and check the level.

A CAUTION:
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 “1,oading 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.
Inflation -- Tire Pressure
The Cel-tification/Tire label. which is 011 the driver‘s
door edge, above the door latch. shows the correct
inflation
pressures for your tires when they’re cold.
“Cold“ lneans your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1 mile ( 1 .6 km).
NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It’s not.
If‘ your tires
don’t have enough air (underinflation), you can
get the following:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
0 Tire overloading
Bad wear
0 Bad handling
0 Bad fuel economy.

Finish Damage
Any stone chips. fractures or deep scratches in the finish
should be repaired right away. Bare
metal will corrode
quickly and may develop into
a major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up
materials available from your dealer or other service
outlets. Larger areas of finish damage can
be corrected
in your dealer’s body and paint shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust conh-01
can collect on the underbody. If these xe not removed,
accelerated corrosion (rust) can oxcur
on the underbody
parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system
even though they have corrosion protection.
At least every spring, flush these materials from the
underbody
with plain water. Clean any areas where mud
and other debris
can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being flushed.
Your dealer or an underbody car washing system can do
this for you.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a
chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and
attack painted surfaces
on your vehicle. This damage
can take two
forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into
the paint surface.
Although no defect
in the paintjob causes this, CM will
repair. at no charge to the owner. the surfaces of new
vehicles damaged by this fallout condition
within
I2 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase.

Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services
Using Your Mair mce Schedule A - --
We at General Motors want to help you keep your
vehicle
in good working condition. But we don't know
exactly how
you'll drive it. You may drive very short
distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive
long distances all
the time in very hot, dusty weather.
You may use your vehicle in making deliveries. Or
you may drive it to work, to do errands or in many
other ways.
Because
of all the different ways people LIS~ their GM
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may even need
more frequent checks and replacements
than you'll find
in the schedules in this section. So please read this
section and note
how you drive. If you have any
questions on how
to keep your vehicle in good
condition, see your GM dealer.
This part tells
you the maintenance services YOLI should
have done and when
you should schedule them. If you
go to your dealer for your service needs, you'll know
that GM-trained
and supported service people will
perform the work using genuine
GM parts. The
proper tluids and lubricants
to use are listed in Part D.
Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses these. All
parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs done
before
you or anyone else drives the vehicle.
These schedules are
