1995 Pontiac Firebird Owners Manual

Aluminum Wheels (If So Equipped) Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted surface of your car. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could damage this coating, After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied.

NOTICE: If you have aluminum wheels, don’t use an automatic car wash that has hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take the protective coating off your aluminum wheels.

Tires To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner. When applying a tire dressing always take care off any overspray or splash from painted surfaces. Petroleum-based products may damage the paint finish.

Sheet Metal Damage If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion material to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection. Finish Damage Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected in your dealer's body and paint shop. Underbody Maintenance Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust contr~l can collect on the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.

At least every speng, flush these materials from the underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this for you. Chemical Paint Spotting Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall uppn and attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This damage can take two foims: blotchy, ringlet-shaped discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint surface. Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Pantiac will repair, at no charge to the owner, new vehicles damaged by this fallout conditiop.within 12 'months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase, whichever comis fist;

Fuses tu~d Circuit Breakers

m e wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from shci'rl circ&b by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly redtices the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. Thkre are two h s e centers on your vehicle. One is in the left side ok your instrument panel.

The other is in the engine CoIfipartment. Open the cover on either of the boxes to expose the fuses. If the Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the correct size. If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a spare fuse, you can bortow one. Just pick some feature of your car that you can get along without-like the radio or cigarette lighter-ind use ite fuse, if it is the size you need. ReplaGe it as soon as you can.

Headlamps The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker. An electrical overload will cause the larnps to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked right away. Windshield Wipers The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed. Power Windows and Other Power Options Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other power accessories. When the current load is the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.

IMPORTANT: KEEP ENGINE OIL AT THE PROPER

LEVEL AND CHANGE AS

RECOMMENDED

This section covers the maintenance required for your Pontiac. Your vehicle needs these services to retain its safety, dependability and emission control performance.

motec

Have you purchased the GM Protection Plan? The Plan supplements your new vehicle warranties. See your Pontiac dealer for details.

Introduction Your Vehicle and the Environment Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps vehicle in good working condition, but also helps the environment. All recommended maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the removal of important components can significantly affect the quality of the air we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even the wrong tire inflation can increase the level of emissions from your vehicle. To help protect our environment, and to help keep your vehicle in good condition, please maintain your vehicle properly.

How This Section is Organized The remainder of this section is divided into five parts: “Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services” shows what to have done and how often. Some of these services can be complex, so unless you are technically qualified and have the necessary equipment, you should let your dealer’s service department or another qualified service center do these jobs.

If you are skilled enough to do some work on your vehicle, you will probably want to get the service information GM publishes. You will find a list of publications and how to get them in this manual. See “Service Publications” in the Index.

keep your

“Part B: Owner Checks and Services” tells you what should be checked whenever you stop for fuel. It also explains what you can easily do to help vehicle in good condition. “Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections” explains important inspections that your Pontiac dealer’s service department or another qualified service center should perform. “Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” lists some products GM recommends to help keep your vehicle properly maintained. These products, or their equivalents, should be used whether you do the work yourself or have it done. “Part E: Maintenance Record” provides a place for you to record the maintenance performed on your vehicle. Whenever any maintenance is performed, be sure to write it down in this part. This will help you determine when your next maintenance should be done. In addition, it is a good idea to keep your maintenance receipts. They may be needed to qualify your vehicle for warranty repairs.

Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services Using Your Maintenance Schedule We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll 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 GM vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may even need more frequent checks and replacements than you’ll find in the schedules in this section. So please read this section and note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition, see your Pontiac dealer. This part tells you the maintenance services you should have done and when you should schedule them. If you go to your dealer for your service needs, you’ll know that GM-trained and supported service people will perform the work using genuine GM parts.

The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in Part D. Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle. These schedules are for vehicles that:

carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will find these limits on your vehicle’s Tire-Loading Information label. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index. are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits. use the recommended unleaded fuel. See “Fuel” in the Index.

Selecting the Right Schedule First you’ll need to decide which of the two schedules is right for your vehicle. Here’s how to decide which schedule to follow:

. .

7-3

Maintenance Schedule

Schedule I Definition Follow Maintenance Schedule I if any one of these is true for your vehicle: 0 Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km).

This is particularly important when outside temperatures are below freezing. Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent driving in stop-and-go traffic). Most trips are through dusty areas.

0 You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of

your car.

Schedule I should also be followed if the vehicle is used for delivery service, police, taxi, or other commercial application.
