Crash Test History:
Models of this era, particularly smaller city cars like the Matiz/Spark, often had mixed safety ratings in independent crash tests. Euro NCAP results for specific models should be consulted for detailed performance. The Aveo/Kalos typically performed better due to its larger size and more substantial structure.
Braking System:
Front ventilated disc brakes, rear drum brakes. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) often available as an option or standard on higher trims.
Traction Control:
Traction Control System (TCS) may be available on select higher-spec models.

Service Intervals Oil Change
Interval:
Typically every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Consult manual for specific engine.
Oil Filter Part Number Example:
e.g., ACDelco PF1233, Wix 51348 (specific part numbers vary by application, consult manual or parts catalog).
Service Intervals Air Filter
Interval:
Typically every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or as needed based on driving conditions.
Service Intervals Spark Plugs
Interval:
Depending on spark plug type (e.g., standard, iridium), intervals can range from 30,000 to 100,000 miles. Refer to manual for specified type and interval.
Service Intervals Coolant
Interval:
Initial change typically at 5 years or 100,000 miles, then every 2-5 years or 30,000-100,000 miles thereafter. Use of Dex-Cool or equivalent Asian formula coolant is recommended.
Coolant Type:
GM/Dex-Cool compatible or Asian long-life coolant (typically orange or red color).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4, depending on system specifications. Consult manual.
Common Problems:
Potential issues include oil leaks from valve cover gaskets or oil pan, ignition coil failures, starter motor problems, suspension wear (ball joints, bushings), catalytic converter issues, and occasional minor electrical glitches. Automatic transmission longevity can be a concern if not properly maintained.
Timing Belt Vs Chain:
Most engines in this range utilize a timing chain, which is designed to last the life of the engine and typically does not require periodic replacement, unlike a timing belt.
Gm Acquisition:
Daewoo Motor was acquired by General Motors in 2002, leading to rebranding and introduction of models like the Aveo and Spark under the Chevrolet banner in various markets.
