Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine By doing so, you can help clean the air, especially in those parts of the
country that have high ozone levels.
You should ask your service station operators
if their gasolines contain
deposit control additives and oxygenates, and if they have been
reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions.
Fuels in Foreign Countries
If you plan on driving in another country outside the U.S. or Canada,
unleaded fuel may be hard
to find. Do not use leaded gasoline. If you use
even one tankful, your emission controls won’t work well or at all. With
continuous
use, spark plugs can get fouled, the exhaust system can corrode,
and your engine oil can deteriorate quickly. Your vehicle’s oxygen sensor
will be damaged. All
of that means costly repairs that wouldn’t be covered
by your warranty.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club, or contact a major oil
company that does business
in the country where you’ll be driving.
You can also write us at the following address for advice. Just tell us where
you’re going and give your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Air Conditioning Refrigerants
Not all air conditioning refrigerants are the same. If the air conditioning
system in your vehicle needs refrigerant, be sure
the proper refrigerant is
used. If you’re not
sure, ask your GM dealer. For additional information, see
your “Warranty and Owner Assistance Information” booklet.
Refrigerant should be added only by a qualified
A/C technician.

NOTICE:
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in
an air conditioning system. R-12 in an R-134a system
will cause
compressor failure, refrigerant oil sludge, or poor air
conditioning system performance.
