WARNING (Continued)

The air cleaner not only cleans
the air; it helps to stop flames if
the engine backfires. Use caution
when working on the engine and
do not drive with the air cleaner/
filter off.

Notice: If the air cleaner/filter is
off, dirt can easily get into the
engine, which could damage it.
Always have the air cleaner/filter
in place when you are driving.

Cooling System

If the vehicle has a diesel engine,
see “Van Models” under “Cooling
System” in the Duramax diesel
supplement.

The cooling system allows the
engine to maintain the correct
working temperature.

WARNING

An electric engine cooling fan can
start even when the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, always
keep hands, clothing, and tools
away from any engine
cooling fan.

{

WARNING

Heater and radiator hoses, and
other engine parts, can be very
hot. Do not touch them. If you do,
you can be burned.

Do not run the engine if there is
a leak. If you run the engine, it
could lose all coolant. That could
cause an engine fire, and you
could be burned. Get any leak
fixed before you drive the vehicle.

Notice: Using coolant other than
DEX-COOL

®

can cause premature

engine, heater core, or radiator
corrosion. In addition, the engine
coolant could require changing
sooner, at 50 000 km (30,000 mi)
or 24 months, whichever occurs
first. Any repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always use DEX-COOL
(silicate-free) coolant in
the vehicle.
