242 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Fuel
Use the recommended fuel for proper
vehicle maintenance.
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.
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
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
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.
. 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.
Filling the Tank
{Warning
Fuel vapors and fuel fires burn
violently and can cause injury or
death.
. To help avoid injuries to you
and others, read and follow
all the instructions on the
fuel pump island.
. Turn off the engine when
refueling.
. Keep sparks, flames, and
smoking materials away
from fuel.
. Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended.

(1) Or every two years, whichever
comes first. More frequent passenger
compartment air filter replacement
may be needed if driving in areas with
heavy traffic, poor air quality, high
dust levels, or environmental
allergens. Passenger compartment air filter replacement may also be needed
if there is reduced airf low, window
fogging, or odors. Your GM dealer can
help determine when to replace the
filter.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 335
‐Any vehicle consistently
operated in a high sand or dust
environment such as those used
on oil pipelines and similar
applications.
. Vehicles that are regularly used for
short trips of 6 kilometers or less
If your vehicle has an Oil Life
Indicator, the indicator will show
you when to change the oil and
filter. Under severe conditions the
indicator may come on before
10 000 km/6,000 mi. The indicator
won't detect dust in the oil, so if
you drive in a dusty area you may
have to change the oil and filter
sooner than every 10 000 km/
6,000 mi.
Note: All vehicles with rear-wheel
drive —change driveline axle oil
every 30 000 km/19,000 mi if
vehicle is used for towing
purposes.
* Footnote: Under extreme driving
conditions listed above, it may be
necessary to replace your spark
plugs at more frequent intervals.
For further assistance in
determining the most suitable service maintenance intervals for
your vehicle, please contact your
authorized GM Dealer.
