This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5 trims the lineup to LS and LT and keeps the four-door hatchback body and the 98 cubic inch inline-four, a naturally aspirated 1.6L with double overhead camshafts. The book divides along mechanical lines rather than trim lines. Engine, transaxle, brake, steering, suspension, climate and body electrical sections each carry their own procedures, specifications and torque values, and the wiring diagrams show the circuits as they are built into this body.

Known issues on the 2009 Aveo5. One recall is recorded. Brake fluid without adequate corrosion protection allows the valves in the anti-lock brake module to corrode, which affects how they close and can leave the pedal traveling farther with less braking effect. Of the 169 complaints raised, the electrical system leads at 41, with the engine and engine cooling at 24 and the suspension at 21. Brake hydraulic service and anti-lock diagnostics, cooling system work and suspension repair are each covered with procedures and torque values here.
