Three- Way Catalytic Converter (Gasoline Engines)
Your vehicle’s three-way catalytic converter is designed to reduce the
pollutants
in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use only unleaded fuel in your vehicle.
If you use leaded fuel, you could damage your three-way catalytic converter
and other engine components.
Oxidation Catalytic Converter (Diesel Engines)
Your vehicle’s oxidation catalytic converter is designed to reduce the
particulates
in your vehicle’s exhaust. If your vehicle’s oxidation catalytic
converter ever needs to be replaced,
it must be replaced with an oxidation
converter intended for use
with diesel engines only.

Engine Control Module System
Gasoline Engines
This system has an oxygen sensor (OS) that helps keep your engine’s
air-fuel mixture at a proper
level. Use only unleaded fuel in your vehicle. If
you use leaded fuel, you could damage your oxygen sensor (OS) and
three-way catalytic converter.
Diesel Vehicles Below 8,500 (3 850 Kg) GVWR
This system monitors engine speed and throttle position. It adjusts exhaust
gas recirculation to limit emissions.
Malfunction Indicator (SERVICE ENGINE SOON)
Light
The Malfunction Indicator (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) Light on your
instrument panel lets you know when your emission system needs service.
The light will come on briefly
when you start your engine to let you know
that the system is working.
If it does not come on when you start your
engine, or if
it comes on and stays on while you’re driving, your system
may need service. Your vehicle should still be driveable, but
you should
have your system serviced right away.
Secondary Air Injection Reaction (AIR) System
(Gasoline Engines)
You may have this system. It has a control valve that will direct air to where
it is needed. If the AIR system needs service, your Malfunction Indicator
(SERVICE ENGINE
SOON) Lamp on your instrument panel will come on.
Tires
We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made
by
a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire
manufacturers, and their warranties are delivered with every new vehicle.
If
your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a tire
warranty folder from each
of these manufacturers.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
This is the legal identifier for your vehicle. It appears on a plate in the front
corner
of the instrument panel, on the driver’s side. You can see it if you
look through the windshield from outside your vehicle. The VIN also
appears
on the Vehicle Certification and Service Parts labels and the
certificates of title and registration.
Engine Identification
The eighth character in your VIN is the engine code. This code will help
you identify your engine, specifications, and replacement parts.

Fuse Block
The fuse block access
door is on the driver’s
side edge
of the
instrument panel. Pull
off the cover to access
the fuse block.
You can remove fuses
with a fuse extractor.
The
fuse extractor is
mounted to the fuse
block access door.
To remove fuses if you don’t have a fuse extractor, hold the end of the fuse
between your thumb and index finger and pull straight
out.
Be sure to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a problem on the road and
don’t
have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without-like the radio
or cigarette lighter-and use its fuse,
if it is of the value you need. Replace
it as soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index for
more information.

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.
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.
