Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual: Doing Your Own Service Work
WARNING
It can be dangerous to work on your vehicle if you do not have the proper knowledge, service manual, tools, or parts. Always follow owner manual procedures and consult the service manual for your vehicle before doing any service work.
If doing some of your own service work, use the proper service manual. It tells you much more about how to service the vehicle than this manual can.
This vehicle has an airbag system.
Before attempting to do your own service work.
Keep a record with all parts receipts and list the mileage and the date of any service work performed.
Notice: Even small amounts of contamination can cause damage to vehicle systems. Do not allow contaminants to contact the fluids, reservoir caps, or dipsticks.
