In order to reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, carefully observe the
following information:
The service manuals of General Motors Corporation are intended for use by
professional, qualified technicians. Attempting service procedures without the
appropriate training, tools, and equipment could cause personal injury, vehicle
damage, or improper vehicle operation. Proper vehicle service is important to the
safety of the service technician and to the safe, reliable operation of all motor
vehicles. If a replacement part is needed, use the same part number or an equivalent
part. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality.
The service manuals contain effective methods for performing service procedures.
Some of the procedures require the use of tools that are designed for specific
purposes.
Accordingly, any person who intends to use a replacement part, a service procedure,
or a tool that is not recommended by General Motors, must first establish that there is
no jeopardy to personal safety or the safe operation of the vehicle.
The service manuals contain Cautions and Notices that must be observed carefully in
order to reduce the risk of personal injury. Improper service may cause vehicle
damage or render the vehicle unsafe. The Cautions and Notices are not all-inclusive.
General Motors can not possibly warn of all the potentially hazardous consequences
that may result by not following the proper service procedures.
The service manuals cover service procedures for vehicles that are equipped with
Supplemental Inflatable Restraints (SIR). Failure to observe all SIR Cautions and
Notices could cause air bag deployment, personal injury, or otherwise unneeded SIR
repairs. Refer to the SIR component and wiring location views in Restraints before
performing a service on or around SIR components or wiring.
If multiple vehicle systems are in need of repair, including SIR, repair the SIR system
first to reduce the risk of accidental air bag deployment and personal injury.
