Vehicle Damage Warnings

NOTE:
^ Always use the correct fastener In the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. General Motors will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. General Motors will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener pint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you Install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

^ Any new rotor must have the protective coating removed from the friction surfaces before being placed In service. Use brake parts cleaner and wipe the surface clean with clean cloths. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other oil base solvents which may leave an oily residue. This residue is damaging to brake linings and flammable.

^ Avoid spilling brake fluid on any of the vehicle's painted surfaces, wiring cables or electrical connectors. Brake fluid will damage paint and electrical connections. If any fluid Is spilled on the vehicle, flush the area with water to lessen damage.
