Caution (Continued)
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.
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 Fuels0318.
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 Gauge 0125.

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

To open the fuel door, push
and release the rearward
center edge of the door.
The capless refueling system
does not have a fuel cap. Fully
insert and latch the fill nozzle,
then begin fueling.
{Warning

more than three clicks of a
standard fill nozzle may
cause:
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Vehicle performance
issues, including engine
stalling and damage to the
fuel system.
.Fuel spills.
.Under certain conditions,

area under the load
floor tray.
2. Insert and latch the funnel into the capless fuel

others could be badly
burned and the vehicle could
be damaged.
3. Remove and clean the funnel adapter and return
it to the storage location.
Filling a Portable Fuel
Container
{Warning
Never fill a portable fuel
container while it is in the
vehicle. Static electricity
discharge from the
container can ignite the fuel
vapor. You or others could
be badly burned and the
vehicle could be damaged.
To help avoid injury to you
and others:
.Dispense fuel only into
approved containers.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Do not fill a container
