This factory service and repair manual for the 2006 Chevrolet Aveo5 deals with one body only, the four-door hatchback, offered as LS or LT and powered by the naturally aspirated 1.6L DOHC inline-four of 98 cubic inches. A small hatchback packs its systems tightly, and the manual is arranged to suit that, giving component locations, removal sequences and reinstallation torque values system by system, from the engine bay back through the transaxle and running gear to the rear body structure and its wiring.

Known issues on the 2006 Aveo5. One recall applies to this year. Heat produced inside the daytime running light module, which sits in the center console within the instrument panel, can melt the module and start a fire. The 189 complaints on record fall mostly to the electrical system with 58, air bags with 49 and exterior lighting with 15. Fault finding in those areas depends on knowing where the circuits run and how to test them, which is what the wiring diagrams, connector views and diagnostic sequences in this manual provide.
