Driving and Operating
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, the RCTA system uses
a triangle with an arrow displayed
on the RVC screen to warn of traffic
behind your vehicle that may cross
your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound.

Fuel
Use the recommended fuel for
proper vehicle maintenance.
Caution
An advice to motorist that correct
use and regular maintenance of
the vehicle and driving behavior,
such as avoiding aggressive
driving, travelling at lower speeds,
correctly inflating tires, reducing
periods of idling, not carrying
excessive weight, will improve the
fuel consumption and reduce the
CO2 emissions of their vehicles.
Recommended Fuel
Gasoline Engine
Use regular unleaded gasoline with
a posted octane rating of 95 RON or
higher. If the octane rating is less
than 95 RON, an audible knocking
noise may be heard. If this occurs,
use a gasoline rated at 95 RON or
higher as soon as possible. If heavy
knocking is heard when using
gasoline rated at 95 RON or higher,
the engine needs service.
Use of Seasonal Fuels
Use summer and winter fuels in the
appropriate season. Driving or
starting could be affected if the
incorrect fuel is used. Drive the
vehicle with the engine running until
the fuel is a 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.
However, E85 (85% ethanol) and
other fuels containing more than
15% ethanol must be used only in
flex fuel vehicles.

Caution
Do not use fuel containing
methanol. It can corrode metal
parts in the fuel system and also
damage plastic and rubber parts.
That damage would not be
covered under the vehicle
warranty.
Some gasolines that are not
reformulated for low emissions can
contain an octane-enhancing
additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use
gasolines with MMT as they can
reduce spark plug life and affect
emission control system
performance. The malfunction
indicator lamp may turn on. If this
occurs, see your dealer for service.
Diesel Engine
Diesel engine must be operated
only on commercially available
diesel fuel meeting the
specifications of DIN EN 590. Do
not use marine diesel oils, heating
oils or entirely or partially
plant-based diesel fuels, such as
rape seed oil or bio diesel, Aquazole
and similar diesel-water emulsions.
The flow and filterability of diesel
fuel are temperature-dependent.
Diesel fuels with improved
low-temperature properties are
therefore available on the market
during the winter months. Make sure
that you fill the tank with winter fuel
before the start of the cold weather
season.
Fuel Additives
Gasoline should contain detergent
additives that help prevent engine
and fuel system deposits from
forming. Clean fuel injectors and
intake valves will allow the emission
control system to work properly.
Some gasoline does not contain
sufficient quantities of additives to
keep fuel injectors and intake valves
clean. To make up for this lack of
detergency, consult your dealer for
the GM approved additive
treatment. Add this additive to the
fuel tank at every engine oil change
or every 15 000 km (9,000 mi),
whichever occurs first.
Filling the Tank
{
Warning
Fuel vapors and fuel fires burn
violently and can cause injury or
death.
.
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.
.
Do not use a cell phone
while refueling.
.
Do not re-enter the vehicle
while pumping fuel.
