Fuel Gage
I
1 /2
The fuel gage tells
you about how much
fuel you have
remaining when the
ignition
is on. When
the gage first indicates
empty, you still have a
little fuel left, but you
should get more fuel
soon.

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a
problem with
your fuel gage:
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For
example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it
actually took a little more
or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the
tank.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.
The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.
For your fuel tank capacity, see the Index under “Fluid Capacities.”

Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or cloth, then push it
back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down.
When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil. But
you must use the right kind. This part explains what kind of oil to use. For
crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications” in the Index.\
NOTICE:
Don’t add too much oil. If your engine has so much oil that the
oil level gets above the cross-hatched area that shows the pro\
per
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
The engine oil filler cap is located on the driver’s side engine valve cover.
Just fill it enough to put the level somewhere in the proper operating range.
Push the dipstick all the way back in when you’re through. \

TYPE
R134a
*All Quantities Are Approximate
QUANTITY*
30 oz. (.85 kg)
NOTICE:
R134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an
air conditioning system. R-12 in an R134a system will cause
compressor failure, refrigerant oil sludge, or poor air
conditioning system performance.
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.
