6-69 Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
Look at the silver
-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating. If a MaxiFuse

should blow, see your dealer
for service immediately.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse, you can ªborrowº one that has the same
amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that you
can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can. You will find a fuse puller
clipped in both of the fuse blocks. Snap the wide end
of the fuse puller at the side indentations and pull the
fuse out.
The MaxiFuses are located in two fuse blocks, one
located in the engine compartment on the passenger's
side and the other under the rear seat on the driver's
side. If a MaxiFuse should blow, have your vehicle
serviced by your dealer immediately.Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The engine compartment
fuse block is located near
the front on the passenger's
side of the vehicle.
See ªEngine Compartment
Overviewº in the Index
for more information
on location.
Lift the cover to gain access. Fuse 22 or 23 can be
moved to the outer position to provide continuous power
to the accessory power outlet or cigarette lighter when
the ignition is not on. See your dealer for additional
assistance, if needed.
Leaving an accessory on for a long period of time can
drain the vehicle's battery.

Scheduled Maintenance
7-6Engine Oil Scheduled Maintenance
Change engine oil and filter as indicated by the
GM Oil Life System
(or every 12 months,
whichever occurs first). Reset the system.
Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you know
when to change the engine oil and filter. This is based on
engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on
mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at
which an oil change will be indicated can vary
considerably. For the oil life system to work properly,
you must reset the system every time the oil is changed.When the system has calculated that oil life has
been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is
necessary. A CHANGE OIL SOON message will come
on. Change your oil as soon as possible within the next
two times you stop for fuel. It is possible that, if you are
driving under the best conditions, the oil life system
may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over
a year. However, your engine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the system
must be reset. It is also important to check your oil
regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must change
your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last oil
change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever
the oil is changed. See ªOil Life Systemº in the Index
for information on resetting the system.
