Warning
If the parking brake is not set
properly, the vehicle may move
suddenly. See your CHEVROLET

This can cause your rear brakes to
overheat or wear out prematurely.
You may have to replace them, and
you could damage other parts of your
vehicle.
Caution
Caution
Do not park or operate your vehicle
over combustible materials.
They could touch hot exhaust parts
under your vehicle and ignite.
Caution
The usage of low octane fuel can
result in uncontrolled combustion
and engine damage. The vehicle is
designed to exclude the use of
methanol fuel which will corrode the
metal parts in the fuel system and
damage plastic and rubber parts.
Therefore damage caused by using
methanol fuel is not covered by the
warranty.
Fuel with excessive levels of manga-
nese and iron may result in blockage
of the three-way catalytic converter,
failure of spark plugs and other
problems.
Fuel Recommendations
FUEL
Only use unleaded petrol 91 or higher
octane rating fuel. The use of low
octane petrol may reduce the engine
power and torque, while increasing fuel
consumption.
Caution
The use of incorrect grade of fuel or
filling in the fuel tank with incorrect
fuel will cause serious damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
Make sure you use the correct fuel
that is compatible with your vehicle.
For safety purposes, the fuel tank,
pumps and piping must be suitably
grounded. Static electricity can
ignite fuel vapours. You may be
burned and the vehicle will be
damaged.
