If the  CHANGE OIL light  comes on and  stays  on after 
you 
start the engine,  have  the  oil  changed.  The light  may 
indicate  to change  the  oil  sooner  than  suggested  in  your 
maintenance  schedule,  depending  on your  driving  patterns. 
This light  will  come on when  the  system  predicts  that the 
oil’s  remaining  useful  life  is  almost  up. It  alerts  you to 
change  the  oil  on  a  schedule  consistent  with  your  vehicle’s \
driving  conditions.  Therefore, 
you should  change  your  oil 
at  the  intervals  recommended  in  your  maintenance 
schedule  or when  the  CHANGE 
OIL light  comes  on, 
whichever  comes  first.  See “Engine  Oil,  When  to Change” 
and  “Maintenance  Schedule,”  in  the  Index. 
To  reset  the  CHANGE 
OIL light,  see  “Engine Oil” in 
the  Index. 
Fuel Gr 2 
0 
Your  fuel gage tells  you 
about  how much  fuel 
you 
have left when the ignition 
is on. When  the indicator 
nears EMPTY 
(E), you  still 
have  a little  fuel  left, 
but 
you should  get more soon. 
Here  are some things owners ask about.  All these 
situations  are normal and  do not show 
a problem with 
your  fuel  gage: 
At the  service  station,  the pump  shuts off before the 
gage  reads 
FULL (F). 
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 it. 
The  gage moves a little when  you turn the corner or 
speed 
up.

Care of Your Cassette  Tape Player 
A tape player  that  is  not cleaned  regularly can  cause 
reduced  sound quality, ruined  cassettes  or  a damaged 
mechanism.  Cassette tapes should  be stored in their 
cases  away from  contaminants,  direct  sunlight and 
extreme  heat. If they aren’t, they  may not operate 
properly 
or may  cause  failure  of the tape player. 
Your  tape  player  should be cleaned regularly  after  every 
50 hours of use.  Your  radio  may display  CLN  to  indicate 
that  you have used your  tape player  for 
50 hours without 
resetting  the  tape  clean  timer. If this  message appears on 
the  display, your  cassette  tape  player  needs to be 
cleaned.  It will still play  tapes,  but you should  clean it as 
soon as  possible  to prevent damage to your  tapes and 
player.  If  you notice  a reduction in sound quality,  try a 
known good  cassette  to 
see if it is the tape or the tape 
player  at fault.  If this  other  cassette  has no improvement 
in sound quality,  clean the tape  player. 
The  recommended  cleaning method for your  cassette 
tape  player  is the use  of a  scrubbing  action, 
non-abrasive  cleaning  cassette  with pads which scrub 
the tape head  as the hubs  of the  cleaner  cassette  turn. 
The  recommended  cleaning  cassette  is available  through 
your retail  facility 
(GM Part No. 12344789). 
When using  a scrubbing  action,  non-abrasive  cleaning 
cassette,  it  is normal for the  cassette  to  eject  because 
your unit  is equipped with 
a cut  tape  detection  feature 
and  a  cleaning  cassette  may appear  as a broken tape. 
If 
the  cleaning  cassette  ejects,  insert the cassette at least 
three  times  to  ensure  thorough cleaning. 
You  may  also choose  a non-scrubbing  action, wet-type 
cleaner  which uses  a  cassette with a  fabric  belt to  clean 
the tape  head.  This  type of cleaning  cassette will not 
eject on 
its own. A non-scrubbing  action  cleaner may 
not clean as thoroughly 
as the  scrubbing  type cleaner. 
The  use  of a non-scrubbing  action,  dry-type  cleaning 
cassette 
is not recommended. 
After  you clean the player, press and hold  EJECT  for 
five  seconds 
to reset  the  CLN  indicator.  The radio will 
display 
--- to  show  the  indicator  was reset. 
Cassettes 
are subject to wear and  the sound quality 
may  degrade  over  time.  Always make  sure  the cassette 
tape  is in  good condition  before you have your tape 
player serviced.

How to  Reset the CHANGE OIL Light 
After changing the engine  oil,  the system must be  reset 
1. 
2. 
3. 
With  the ignition key in ON but the engine  off, fully 
push and  release the accelerator pedal  slowly  three 
times  within  five  seconds. 
If the  CHANGE  OIL  light  flashes,  the system 
is  resetting. 
Turn the  key to OFF, then start the vehicle.  If the 
CHANGE OIL light comes back  on,  the  engine  oil 
life  monitor has not reset. Repeat the  procedure. 
What  to Do with  Used  Oil 
Did you know that used engine oil contains  certain 
elements  that  may be unhealthy  for your skin and  could 
even cause  cancer?  Don’t let used oil stay on your  skin 
for  very  long. Clean your skin and nails  with  soap and 
water,  or  a good hand cleaner.  Wash or properly throw 
away  clothing  or  rags  containing  used engine  oil.  (See 
the manufacturer’s warnings  about  the  use and disposal 
of  oil  products.) 
Used  oil  can  be  a  real threat  to  the environment. 
If you 
change your own  oil,  be  sure  to drain all free-flowing  oil 
from  the  filter  before  disposal.  Don’t ever  dispose  of oil 
by  putting 
it in the  trash, pouring  it on  the  ground,  into 
sewers,  or  into  streams  or  bodies  of water.  Instead, 
recycle  it  by taking  it  to  a  place  that collects  used oil. 
If 
you have  a problem properly  disposing of your used  oil, 
ask  your retailer, 
a service  station or  a  local  recycling 
center  for  help.

I Maintenance  Schedule I 
The  services shown in this  schedule  up to  100,000  miles 
(I 66 000 km) should be performed  after 100,000 miles 
(1 
66 000 km) at  the same  intervals.  The  services  shown 
at 
150,000 miles (240 000 km) should  be performed  at 
the  same  interval  after 
150,000 miles (240 000 km). 
See  “Owner Checks and  Services” and “Periodic 
Maintenance  Inspections”  following. 
Footnotes 
? The U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency  or the 
California Air Resources Board has determined that  the 
failure  to perform this maintenance  item  will not nullify 
the  emission  warranty or  limit recall liability prior  to 
the completion of the vehicle‘s useful life. We,  however, 
urge that all recommended  maintenance  services 
be  performed  at the indicated  intervals and the 
maintenance be  recorded. 
* Your vehicle has an Engine Oil  Life Monitor.  This 
monitor will show 
you when to change the  engine oil 
and  filter 
-- usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) 
and 
7,500 miles (12 500 km)  since  your last oil change. 
Under  severe  conditions,  the indicator  may come on 
before 
3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never  drive your vehicle 
more than 
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12  months 
without an oil and  filter  change. 
The  system won’t  detect dust in the oil. 
So if  you 
drive 
in a dusty area,  be  sure to change your oil and 
filter  every 
3,000 miles (5 000 km)  or  sooner  if the 
CHANGE 
OIL light  comes  on. Remember to reset the 
Oil  Life  Monitor  when the oil has  been changed. 
For 
more  information,  see  “Engine Oil” in the Index. 
+ A good  time  to check your brakes is during tire 
rotation.  See “Brake System Inspection’’  unde.r “Periodic 
Maintenance  Inspections”  in Part  C 
of this schedule.
