GMC 2007 Acadia - Manual (Page 501)

Using the Maintenance Schedule
We 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. If you
have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in
good condition, see your dealer/retailer.
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.
See Loading Your Vehicle on page 361.
• are driven on reasonable road surfaces within
legal driving limits.
• use the recommended fuel. See Gasoline
Octane on page 388.
The services in Scheduled Maintenance on
page 502 should be performed when indicated.
See Additional Required Services on page 504 and
Maintenance Footnotes on page 506 for further
information.
{ 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. If you have any
doubt, see your dealer/retailer to have a
qualified technician do the work. See Doing
Your Own Service Work on page 386.
Some maintenance services can be complex. So,
unless you are technically qualified and have
the necessary equipment, you should have your
dealer/retailer do these jobs.
