Operating Tips
Caution
.Do not use alcohol, benzine
or thinner to clean the
camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the
camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with a diluted
mild cleaning agent and
then wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera
as the monitor screen may
be adversely affected. .
When the shift lever is shifted to
R (Reverse), the screen
automatically changes to the
RVC mode. However, the radio
can be heard.
. It may take some time until the
RVC is displayed after the shift
lever has been shifted to
R (Reverse). Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the
RVC screen is displayed
completely. When the shift lever
is returned to a position other
than R (Reverse), it may take
some time until the screen
changes. Objects on the screen
may be distorted until they are
completely displayed.
. When the temperature is
extremely high or low, the
screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a
malfunction.
. When strong light directly enters
the camera, objects may not be
displayed clearly. .
Vertical lines may be seen in
objects on the screen. This is
due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a
malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under
fluorescent light. This is not a
malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the
display may differ somewhat
from those of the actual object.
. When the contrast of objects is
low at night, pressing the
SETTING button or MENU
button may not change the
brightness.
. Objects on the display may not
be clear in a dark place or at
night.

Parking Assist
{Warning
.Always turn and look back
before backing up. The RPA
is not a substitute for proper
backing procedures.
. Read and understand the
limitations of the rear
parking assist system as
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
contained in this section.
Inclement weather may
affect the function of the
RPA; this may include
reduced performance or a
false activation.
. This system is not designed
to prevent contact with small
or moving objects.
. The system is designed as
a aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The
system will not detect small
objects below the bumper,
and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on
the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains
damage to the rear bumper
fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms. If equipped, the Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) sounds a tone to warn the
driver of obstacles near the rear
bumper when the shift lever is in
R (Reverse). The system may not
detect objects at speeds above
5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The RPA detects objects up to 1.8 m
(5.9 ft) from the rear bumper with a
decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper. As you
move closer to the obstacle, the rate
of the tone increases. When the
obstacle is less than 25 cm (10 in)
away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the RPA detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25 cm (10 in) from the side of
the vehicle, the tone will sound for
only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again.
The RPA automatically turns on
when the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition switch
is in ON. The RPA OFF switch on
the instrument panel allows the

driver to turn the RPA on and off. To
turn the RPA off, the ignition switch
must be placed in ON. An indicator
light on the switch will illuminate
when the system is turned off. If the
indicator light illuminates when the
RPA is not turned off, it may indicate
a malfunction in the RPA.
Keep the RPA sensors, located on
the rear bumper, free from snow,
ice, and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered,
it will affect the accuracy of
the RPA.Fuel
GM recommends the use of TOP
TIER detergent gasoline to keep the
engine cleaner and reduce engine
deposits. See www.toptiergas.com
for a list of TOP TIER detergent
gasoline marketers and applicable
countries.
Use regular unleaded gasoline
meeting ASTM specification D4814
with a posted octane rating of 87 or
higher. Do not use gasoline with an
octane rating below 87, as it may
cause engine damage and will lower
fuel economy.Use of Seasonal Fuels
Use summer and winter fuels in the
appropriate season. The fuels
industry automatically modifies the
fuel for the appropriate season.
If fuel is left in the vehicle tank for
long periods of time, driving or
starting could be affected. Drive the
vehicle until the fuel is at one-half
tank or less, then refuel with the
current seasonal fuel.
Prohibited Fuels
Gasolines containing oxygenates
such as ethers and ethanol, as well
as reformulated gasolines, are
available in some cities. If these
gasolines comply with the
previously described specification,
then they are acceptable to use.{Warning
.
Using a fuel other than what
is specified could adversely
affect the emission control
system, and may also affect
the warranty coverage.

Warning (Continued)
.Under no circumstances
should either a leaded
gasoline or gasoline with
MMTbe used. Doing so will
damage the catalytic
converter.
. Do not use E85 fuel in your
vehicle. Your vehicle is not
designed to run on E85 fuel.
Using E85 fuel in a vehicle
not specifically designed for
E85 fuel can adversely
damage the emission
control devices and systems
of the vehicle. Damage
caused by such fuel is not
covered by the new vehicle
limited warranty.
Some gasolines, mainly high octane
racing gasolines, can contain an
octane-enhancing additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use
gasolines and/or fuel additives with
MMT as they will reduce spark plug
life and affect emission control system. The malfunction indicator
lamp may turn on. If this occurs, see
your dealer for service.
California Fuel
Requirements
If the vehicle is certified to meet
California Emissions Standards, it is
designed to operate on fuels that
meet California specifications. See
the underhood emission control
label. If this fuel is not available in
states adopting California Emissions
Standards, the vehicle will operate
satisfactorily on fuels meeting
federal specifications, but emission
control system performance may be
affected. The malfunction indicator
lamp could turn on and the vehicle
may not pass a smog-check test.
See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Check Engine Light) 091. If this
occurs, return to your authorized
dealer for diagnosis. If it is
determined that the condition is
caused by the type of fuel used,
repairs may not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Fuels in Foreign
Countries
The U.S., Canada, and Mexico post
fuel octane ratings in anti-knock
index (AKI). For fuel not to use in a
foreign country, see “Prohibited
Fuels” inFuel 0170.
Fuel Additives
To keep fuel systems clean, TOP
TIER detergent gasoline is
recommended. See Fuel0170.
If TOP TIER detergent gasoline is
not available, one bottle of GM Fuel
System Treatment Cleaner added to
the fuel tank at every engine oil
change, can help. GM Fuel System
Treatment Cleaner is the only
gasoline additive recommended by
General Motors. It is available at
your dealer.
