Headlamp Wiring 
The headlamp wiring is protected  by a circuit breaker  in 
the underhood electrical center. 
An electrical overload 
will  cause  the lamps 
to go on and off, or  in  some  cases 
to  remain 
off. If this  happens, have  your  headlamp 
system checked right  away. 
Windshield  Wipers 
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit 
breaker  and a  fuse. 
If the motor overheats  due to heavy 
snow,  etc.,  the wiper  will stop until  the motor  cools. 
If 
the overload  is caused  by  some  electrical  problem, have 
it  fixed. 
Power  Windows  and Other Power Options 
Circuit  breakers  in the  fuse  panel  protect  the  power 
windows  and  other power  accessories.  When  the current 
load  is  too  heavy,  the circuit breaker opens  and closes, 
protecting the circuit until  the  problem is fixed.

Section 7 Maintenance Schedule 
IMPORTANT: 
KEEP  ENGINE OIL 
AT THE PROPER 
LEVEL  AND  CHANGE 
AI 
RECOMMENDED 
This  section  covers  the  maintenance  required  for  your 
Pontiac.  Your vehicle  needs  these  services  to  retain  its 
safety,  dependability  and  emission  control  performance. 
GM protection I 
Have  you  purclzased  the GM Protection  Plan? The Plan 
supplements 
your new  vehicle  warranties.  See your 
Pontiac  dealer for details. 
Introduction 
Your  Vehicle  and  the  Environment 
Proper  vehicle  maintenance  not  only  helps to keep  your 
vehicle  in 
good working  condition,  but  also  helps  the 
environment.  All  recommended  maintenance  procedures  are  important.  Improper  vehicle  maintenance  or  the 
removal  of important  components  can  significantly 
affect  the  quality 
of the  air  we  breathe.  Improper  fluid 
levels  or  even  the  wrong  tire  inflation  can  increase  the  level  of emissions  from  your  vehicle. 
To help  protect  our 
environment,  and  to  help  keep 
your vehicle  in  good 
condition,  please  maintain  your  vehicle  properly.

How This Section is Organized 
The remainder  of this  section  is divided into  five parts: 
“Part A: Scheduled  Maintenance  Services” shows 
what  to have  done  and  how  often.  Some 
of these 
services  can  be complex, 
so unless  you  are  technically 
qualified  and  have  the  necessary  equipment,  you  should 
let  your  dealer’s  service department or  another qualified 
service  center do  these jobs. 
If you are skilled  enough  to  do some work  on  your 
vehicle,  you  will  probably  want  to get  the service 
information 
GM publishes.  You will find a  list of 
publications  and  how  to  get them in this  manual.  See 
“Service  Publications” 
in the  Index. 
“Part B: Owner  Checks  and  Services” tells  you  what 
should  be  checked  whenever  you  stop 
for fuel.  It also 
explains  what  you 
can easily do to  help  keep  your 
vehicle 
in good  condition. 
“Part C : Periodic  Maintenance  Inspections” explains 
important  inspections  that  your Pontiac dealer’s  service 
department  or  another  qualified service center  should 
perform. 
“Part D: Recommended  Fluids  and  Lubricants” lists 
some  products 
GM recommends  to help  keep  your 
vehicle  properly  maintained.  These products, or their 
equivalents,  should  be  used  whether  you  do the  work 
yourself  or have  it done. 
“Part E: Maintenance  Record” provides  a place  for 
you  to  record  the maintenance  performed  on  your 
vehicle.  Whenever  any  maintenance  is  performed,  be 
sure  to  write  it down  in this  part.  This will  help  you 
determine  when  your  next  maintenance  should  be done. 
In addition, 
it is a  good  idea to  keep  your  maintenance 
receipts.  They  may  be needed  to  qualify  your  vehicle  for 
warranty  repairs.

Part A: Scheduled Maintenance 
Services 
Using Your Maintenance  Schedule 
we at  Gen ~ ~11  Motors  want to help  you  keep  your 
vehicle  in good  workmg  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 use 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 tlvs 
section  and  note  how  you  drive. If  you  have  any 
questions  on  how  to  keep your vehicle  in good 
condition,  see your  Pontiac  dealer. 
This 
part tells  you  the maintenance services  you  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 fluids 
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 eke drives  the  vehicle. 
These schedules  are for vehicles  that: 
cany  passengers  and cargo  within  recommended 
limits.  You will  find  these  limits on  your  vehicle’s 
Tire-Loading  Information  label. See  “Loading  Your 
Vehicle” 
in the  Index. 
are driven  on  reasonable  road surfaces  within legal

driving 
limits. 
the  Index. 
Selecting  the  Right  Schedule 
First  you’ll  need  to  decide which of the  two  schedules 
is  right for  your vehicle.  Here’s  how  to  decide which 
schedule to follow:
