Using Maintenance Schedules

2009 Chevrolet Tahoe 4WD V8-6.0L HybridSECTION Using Maintenance Schedules


USING THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we do not know exactly how you will 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 vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may need more frequent checks and replacements. So please read the following and note how you drive.

This schedule is for vehicles that:
- carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will find these limits on the Tire and Loading Information label.
- are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits.
- use the recommended fuel.

The services in Scheduled Maintenance should be performed when indicated.

CAUTION: Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. In trying to do some jobs, you can be seriously injured. Do your own maintenance work only if you have the required know-how and the proper tools and equipment for the job.

Owner Checks and Services tells you what should be checked, when to check it, and what you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in good condition.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
