Top Tier Fuel
GM recommends the use of
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
to keep the engine clean,
reduce engine deposits, and
maintain optimal vehicle
performance. Look for the
TOP TIER Logo or see
www.toptiergas.com for a list
of TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline marketers and
applicable countries.
Recommended Fuel
(LSY 2.0L L4 Turbo
Engine)
Premium unleaded gasoline
meeting ASTM specification
D4814 with a posted octane
rating (R+M)/2 of 91 or greater
is recommended. If unavailable,
unleaded gasoline with a

Driving with a Trailer
Trailering is different than just
driving the vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in
handling, acceleration, braking,
durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering
takes correct equipment, and
it has to be used properly.
The following information has
many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules.
Many of these are important
for your safety and that of
your passengers. Read this
section carefully before pulling
a trailer.When towing a trailer:
.Become familiar with, and
follow all state and local laws
that apply to trailer towing.
These requirements vary
from state to state.
.State laws may require the
use of extended side view
mirrors. If your visibility is
limited or restricted while
towing, install extended side
view mirrors on your vehicle,
even if not required.
.Do not tow a trailer during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
vehicle use to prevent
damage to the engine, axle,
or other parts.
.Perform the first oil change
before heavy towing.
.Do not drive over 800 km/h
(50 mph) and do not make
starts at full throttle during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
trailer towing.
.Tow in D (Drive). If the
transmission downshifts too
often, a lower gear may be
selected using Manual Mode.
