Quality Pre-Delivery Inspection (Pdi)

QUALITY PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI)

The PDI form was revised to ensure special attention is paid to the areas listed below. Refer to Corporate Bulletin # 03-00-89-006D. For Dealers in Canada, the PDI form is available for download from the "GM World of Warranty" on the GMinfoNET.

Reset Fuel Economy

Be sure to reset the fuel economy display to zero prior to delivery to the customer.

Tire Pressures

Vehicles are shipped from the assembly plant with higher than recommended tire pressure. The pressures are optimized for transportation of the vehicle. Tire pressures are a key ingredient of ride quality. It is very important to adjust the tire pressures to the recommended level, as noted on the tire label located on the driver's door, prior to delivery.

Battery Life

Check and charge the battery, if necessary. It is the dealer's responsibility to maintain the battery until delivery to the customer.

Brake Burnish

If the vehicle has set for a long period of time, it will be necessary to burnish the brakes during the PDI test drive, prior to delivering the vehicle to the customer.

Refer to Corporate Bulletin # 00-05-22-002I (Brake Pulsation - Corrosion) for more details.

Window Cleaning

A hazy film may build up on interior glass surfaces due to plasticizers emitted from the interior trim components. To remove this film, use the following procedure:

Spray the entire glass surface with plain water. Avoid any type of chemical cleaner.

Use a dry sponge covered with a paper towel. Avoid any type of cloth. Use of a dry sponge to back the paper towel pieces is recommended in order to apply uniform pressure on the glass.

Wipe the glass surface in a uniform, linear, length-wise fashion, one swipe at a time. Avoid circular swipes. Discard paper towel after each swipe.
