(c) Visually inspect hoses and have them replaced
if they are cracked, swollen, or deteriorated.
Inspect all pipes, fittings, and clamps; replace with
genuine GM parts as needed. To help ensure
proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling
system and pressure cap and cleaning the outside
of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is
recommended at least once a year.

(d) Visually inspect wiper blades for wear or
cracking. Replace wiper blades that appear worn
or damaged or that streak or miss areas of
the windshield.

(e) Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all
your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and
anchorages are working properly. Look for any
other loose or damaged safety belt system parts.
If you see anything that might keep a safety belt
system from doing its job, have it repaired. Have
any torn or frayed safety belts replaced. Also look
for any opened or broken airbag coverings, and
have them repaired or replaced. The airbag system
does not need regular maintenance.

(f) Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood latch
assembly, secondary latch, pivots, spring anchor,
release pawl, rear compartment hinges, outer
swing-gate handle pivot points, rear door detent
link, roller mechanism, swing-gate handle
pivot points, latch bolt, fuel door hinge, locks, and
folding seat hardware. More frequent lubrication
may be required when exposed to a corrosive
environment. Applying silicone grease on
weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them
last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.

(g) Check vent hose at transfer case for kinks and
proper installation.

(h) Change automatic transmission fluid and filter
if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:

In heavy city traffic where the outside

temperature regularly reaches 90°F (32°C)
or higher.

In hilly or mountainous terrain.

When doing frequent trailer towing.

Uses such as found in taxi, police, or

delivery service.
