226 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Fuel
Use the recommended fuel for proper
vehicle maintenance.
For the 2.0L L4 turbo engine (LTG),
use unleaded petrol with a posted
octane rating of 95 RON or higher.
Unleaded petrol rated at 91 RON can
be used, but acceleration and fuel
economy will be reduced, and an
audible knocking noise may be heard.
If this occurs, use petrol rated at 95
RON as soon as possible, otherwise
the engine could be damaged. If heavy
knocking is heard when using
unleaded petrol rated at 95 RON, the
engine needs service.
For the 2.5L L4 engine (LCV) and the
3.6L V6 engine (LGX), use unleaded
petrol with a posted octane rating of
91 RON or higher, otherwise an
audible knocking noise may be heard.
If heavy knocking is heard when using
gasoline rated at 91 RON or higher,
the engine needs service.
For the 3.6L V6 twin turbo engine
(LF4), use unleaded petrol with a
posted octane rating of 95 RON or
higher. If the octane is less than 95RON, the engine could be damaged
and repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. If heavy
knocking is heard when using petrol
rated at 95 RON octane, the engine
needs service.
Caution
Do not use fuels with any of the
following conditions; doing so may
damage the vehicle and void its
warranty:
. Fuel with any amount of
methanol, methylal, and
aniline. These fuels can
corrode metal fuel system
parts or damage plastic and
rubber parts.
. Fuel containing metals such
as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT), which can damage
the emissions control system
and spark plugs.
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
.Fuel with a posted octane
rating of less than the
recommended fuel. Using this
fuel will lower fuel economy
and performance, and may
decrease the life of the
emissions catalyst.
Fuel Additives
Gasoline should contain detergent
additives that help prevent engine and
fuel system deposits from forming.
Clean fuel injectors and intake valves
will allow the emission control system
to work properly. Some gasoline does
not contain sufficient quantities of
additives to keep fuel injectors and
intake valves clean. To make up for
this lack of detergency, consult your
dealer for the GM approved additive
treatment. Add this additive to the
fuel tank at every engine oil change or
every 15 000 km (9,000 mi), whichever
occurs first.
