Fuel
Use the recommended fuel for
proper vehicle maintenance.
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.
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
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
(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.
. Do not use a cell phone
while refueling.
. Do not reenter the vehicle
while pumping fuel.
