Owner’s Manual

Welcome

This manual was prepared to acquaint you with the operation and

maintenance of your

1993

GMC Truck vehicle, and to provide important safety

information. There

is

also a GMC Truck Warranty and Owner Assistance

Information booklet.

In

some vehicles, there can be information manuals from

other manufacturers like body builders

or

special equipment companies. We

urge you

to

review all these publications carefully. This will help you enjoy

safe and trouble-free operation of your vehicle.

When

it

comes

to

service, keep in mind that your GMC Truck dealer knows

your vehicle best and is interested in your complete satisfaction. Your dealer

invites you to return for all of your service needs both during and after the

warranty period.

Remember,

if

you have a concern and need help handling

it

to your

satisfaction see the procedure in Section

8,

or

in the GMC Truck Warranty

and Owner Assistance Information booklet.

Thanks for choosing a GMC Truck product. We value you as

a

member

of

the GMC Truck family.

We

want

to

assure you

of

our continuing interest

in

your pleasure and satisfaction with your vehicle.

Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning

to

end when

they

first

receive their new vehicle. This will help you learn about

the

features and

controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and words

work together

to

explain things quickly.

INDEX:

A

good place to look for what you need is the Index in

back of

the

manual. It’s an alphabetical

list

of ail that’s in the manual, and the page

number where you’ll find

it.

SECTIONS

1-6:

Each section

of

this manual begins with a brief list of its

contents,

so

you can often find at a glance

if

a section contains the

information you want.

SECTION

7:

This section covers the maintenance required for your vehicle.

SECTION

8:

This section includes important information about reporting safety

defects and gives you details about the Roadside Assistance program.

You

will

also

find customer satisfaction phone numbers (including customer

satisfaction numbers for the hearing

and

speech impaired), as well

as

the

mediationlarbitration procedure. We’ve also included ordering information for

service publications in this section.

0-1

You will find a number of safety cautions in this book. We use yellow and

the the word

CAUTION

to tell you about things that could hurt you if

you

were

to

ignore the warning.

These mean there is something that could hurt

you

or

other people.

In the yellow caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we

tell

you

what to

do

to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions.

If

you don’t, you or others could be hurt.

You

will

also find a red circle with

a

slash through it in this

book.

This

safety

symbol means “Don’t,’’ “Don’t

do

this,”

or

“Don’t let this happen.”

Also,

in

this book you will find these blue notices:

In

the blue notice area, we tell you about something that can damage your

vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty, and

it could be costly. But the notice will tell you what

to

do

to

help avoid the

damage.

When you read other manuals,

you

might see

CAUTION

and

NOTICE

warnings

in

different colors

or

in

different words.

In

this manual, we've used

the familiar words and colors that General Motors has used for years.

You'll also see warning labels

on

your vehicle. They use the same colors,

and the words CAUTION or NOTICE.

0-3

These are some

of

the symbols you

will

find

on

your

vehicle.

these symbols are used

on
