Fuel Additives
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
is highly recommended for use
with your vehicle. If your
country does not have TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, add
ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus−Gasoline to
the vehicle’s gasoline fuel tank
at every oil change or
15 000 km (9,000 mi),
whichever occurs first. TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline and
ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus−Gasoline will
help keep your vehicle’s
engine fuel deposit free and
performing optimally.
Filling the Tank
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates which side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on. See
Fuel Gauge0120.
{Warning
Fuel vapors and fuel fires
burn violently and can cause
injury or death.
Follow these guidelines 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.
.Avoid using electronic
devices while refueling.
.Do not re-enter the
vehicle while pumping fuel.
.Keep children away from
the fuel pump and never
let children pump fuel.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Before touching the fill
nozzle, touch a metallic
object to discharge static
electricity from your body.
.Fuel can spray out if the
fill nozzle is inserted too
quickly. This spray can
happen if the tank is
nearly full, and is more
likely in hot weather. Insert
the fill nozzle slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to
stop before beginning to
flow fuel.
If equipped, the fuel door
unlocks when the vehicle
doors are unlocked. See
Remote Key Operation 09.
