Driving Information
Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here
are some driving tips to get the best fuel
economy possible:
.Set the climate controls to the desired
temperature after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not required.
.Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for long periods
of time.
.When road and weather conditions are
appropriate, use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.
.Combine several trips into a single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires with the same
TPC Spec number molded into the tire's
sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
.Using Tour mode rather than Sport or
Track modes, will result in better Active
Fuel Management operation. SeeActive
Fuel Management 0182.
.For recommended shift speeds, see Dual
Clutch Transmission 0184.
Premium Fuel
Use the recommended fuel. See
Recommended Fuel 0227.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and can
take your focus from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away from
the road. Many local governments have
enacted laws regarding driver distraction.
Become familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your eyes
on the road, keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your attention on
driving.
.Do not use a phone in demanding driving
situations. Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary phone calls.

252 Vehicle Care
Caution
Failure to use the recommended engine
oil or equivalent can result in engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Viscosity Grade
Use SAE 0W-40 viscosity grade engine oil.
When selecting an oil of the appropriate
viscosity grade, it is recommended to select
an oil of the correct specification. See
“Specification” previously in this section.
Engine Oil Additives/Engine Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil. The
recommended oils meeting the dexos
specification are all that is needed for good
performance and engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not
recommended and could cause engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements
that can be unhealthy for your skin and
could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil
stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a
good hand cleaner. Wash or properly
dispose of clothing or rags containing used
engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings
about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment.
If you change your own oil, drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never dispose
of oil by putting it in the trash or pouring it
on the ground, into sewers, or into streams
or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to
a place that collects used oil.
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer that indicates
when to change the engine oil and filter.
This is based on a combination of factors
which include engine revolutions, engine
temperature, and miles driven. Based on
driving conditions, the mileage at which an
oil change is indicated can vary
considerably. For the oil life system to work
properly, the system must be reset every
time the oil is changed.
This vehicle has a racetrack-ready dry sump
engine lubrication system. This high
performance system operates differently
than a standard engine lubrication system
and requires a special procedure when
changing the engine oil and filter. See
Engine Oil (5.5L LT6 Engine)
0246 or
Engine Oil (6.2L LT2 Engine) 0249.
When the system has calculated that oil life
has been diminished, it indicates that an oil
change is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message comes on. Change the oil as
soon as possible within the next 1 000 km
(600 mi). It is possible that, if driving under
the best conditions, the oil life system may
not indicate that an oil change is necessary
for up to a year. The engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once a year and,
at this time, the system must be reset. Your
dealer has trained service people who will
perform this work and reset the system.
It is also important to check the oil regularly
over the course of an oil drain interval and
keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the
oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi)
since the last oil change. Remember to reset
the oil life system whenever the oil is
changed.

Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid
How to Check Dual Clutch Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission
fluid level. A transmission fluid leak is the
only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs,
take the vehicle to the dealer and have it
repaired as soon as possible. The vehicle is not equipped with a
transmission fluid level dipstick. There is a
special procedure for checking and changing
the transmission fluid. Because this
procedure is difficult, this should be done at
the dealer. Contact the dealer for additional
information or the procedure can be found
in the service manual. To purchase a service
manual, see

When to Replace the Dual Clutch
Transmission Fluid Filter
This vehicle has a computer that indicates
when to change the transmission external
canister fluid filter. This is based on the
number of miles driven as outlined in the
Service and Maintenance section. For the
fluid filter life system to work properly, the
system must be reset every time the filter is
replaced. When the system has calculated
that the external canister filter is near the
mileage interval, a REPLACE TRANSMISSION
OIL FILTER SOON message comes on. Replace
the external canister filter before the
indicator reaches 0%.
Failure to replace the transmission filter at
required intervals could lead to suboptimal
transmission performance. Your dealer has
trained service technicians who will replace
the external canister filter and reset the
system. If the system is ever reset
accidentally, the filter should be replaced
according to the service intervals indicated
in the Service and Maintenance section until

Z51/Z06 Cast Iron Rotor System Brake
Burnish Procedure for Corrosion Cleanup
Corrosion spotting and grooving on the
brake rotor surface may appear after the
vehicle sits for an extended period of time,
especially in high humidity. This corrosion
may result in brake pulsation and noise. To
help restore optimal braking performance
and reduce noise, complete the following
procedure:
Caution
Performing the brake burnish procedure
on a base brake system can result in
brake damage.
Perform this procedure only on dry
pavement, in a safe manner, and in
compliance with all local and state
ordinances/laws regarding motor vehicle
operation.
Caution
The new vehicle break-in period should be
completed before performing the brake
burnishing procedure or damage may
occur to the powertrain/engine. See New
Vehicle Break-In 0177.
Caution
Brake fade can occur during this burnish
procedure and can cause brake pedal
travel and force to increase. This could
extend stopping distance until the brakes
are fully burnished.
Completing the following procedure as
instructed will not damage the brakes. The
brake pads may smoke and produce an
odor. The braking force and pedal travel
may increase. After the procedure, the brake
pads may appear white at the rotor contact. 1. Using the Friction Bubble gauge, apply the brakes 10 times starting at 100 km/h
(60 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph) while
decelerating at 0.4g. This is a medium
brake application. Drive for at lest 0.5 km
(0.3 mi) between applying the brakes. 2. If further cleanup of the brake discs is
needed, repeat this procedure with 0.7g
applications.
As with all high performance brake systems,
some amount of brake squeal is normal.
Brake Pad Life System
(If Equipped)
When to Change Brake Pads
If equipped, this system estimates the
remaining life of the front and rear brake
pads. Brake Pad Life is displayed in the
Driver Information Center (DIC), along with
a percentage for each axle. The system must
be reset every time the brake pads are
changed.
When the system has determined that the
brake pads need to be replaced, a message
displays, which may include mileage
remaining.
Brake pads should always be replaced as
complete axle sets.

Collision Damage Repair
If the vehicle is involved in a collision and it
is damaged, have the damage repaired by a
qualified technician using the proper
equipment and quality replacement parts.
Poorly performed collision repairs diminish
the vehicle resale value, and safety
performance can be compromised in
subsequent collisions.
Collision Parts
Genuine GM Collision parts are new parts
made with the same materials and
construction methods as the parts with
which the vehicle was originally built.Genuine GM Collision parts are the best
choice to ensure that the vehicle's designed
appearance, durability, and safety are
preserved. The use of Genuine GM parts can
help maintain the GM New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Recycled original equipment parts may also
be used for repair. These parts are typically
removed from vehicles that were total losses
in prior crashes. In most cases, the parts
being recycled are from undamaged sections
of the vehicle. A recycled original equipment
GM part may be an acceptable choice to
maintain the vehicle's originally designed
appearance and safety performance;
however, the history of these parts is not
known. Such parts are not covered by the
GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any
related failures are not covered by that
warranty.
Aftermarket collision parts are also available.
These are made by companies other than
GM and may not have been tested for the
vehicle. As a result, these parts may fit
poorly, exhibit premature durability/
corrosion problems, and may not perform
properly in subsequent collisions.
Aftermarket parts are not covered by the
