This factory service and repair manual for the 2011 Chevrolet Spark covers a city car with a small mechanical footprint: a naturally aspirated 1.2L DOHC inline-four of 74 cubic inches in a four-door hatchback, sold in one Base specification. Small does not mean simple to service, though, and the manual works through the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, restraints and body electrical systems in the same detail a larger vehicle would get, with specifications and torque values attached to each of them.

Known issues on the 2011 Spark. No recalls and no owner complaints are recorded federally for this model year. With nothing to correct, the manual functions as a straight reference: timing, valve and bearing specifications for the 1.2L four, fuel and ignition diagnosis, cooling system service, transmission procedures, brake and suspension torque values, and wiring diagrams for the lighting, charging and body control circuits. The diagnostic routines that accompany them start from symptoms a small car of this kind actually presents.
