number 88861013, added to the fuel
tank at every engine oil change, can
help. Fuel System Treatment PLUS
is the only gasoline additive
recommended by General Motors.
It is available at your dealer.
Do not use additives with E85 or
FlexFuel.
E85 or FlexFuel
Vehicles with a yellow fuel cap can
use either unleaded gasoline or fuel
containing up to 85% ethanol (E85).
All other vehicles should use only
the unleaded gasoline as described
in
.
The use of E85 or FlexFuel is
encouraged when the vehicle is
designed to use it. E85 or FlexFuel
is made from renewable sources.
To help locate fuel stations that
carry E85 or FlexFuel, the U.S.
Department of Energy has an
alternative fuels website. See
www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/
stations/.
E85 or FlexFuel should meet ASTM
Specification D 5798 or CAN/
CGSB-3.512 in Canada. Do not use
the fuel if the ethanol content is
greater than 85%. Fuel mixtures that
do not meet ASTM or CGSB
specifications can affect driveability
and could cause the malfunction
indicator lamp to come on.
If equipped with a V6 engine, the
starting characteristics of E85 or
FlexFuel make it unsuitable for use
when temperatures fall below -18°C
(0°F). Use gasoline or add gasoline
to the E85 or FlexFuel.
After refueling, the vehicle
determines the composition of the
fuel. It is not recommended to
repeatedly switch between gasoline
and E85 or FlexFuel. If the fuels are
switched frequently, add as much
fuel as possible and do not add less
than 11 L (3 gal) when refueling.
Drive at least 11 km (7 mi)
immediately after refueling to allow
the vehicle to adapt to the change in
ethanol concentration.
Because E85 has less energy per
liter (gallon) than gasoline, the
vehicle will need to be refueled
more often. See
.

Caution
Some additives are not
compatible with E85 or FlexFuel
and can harm the vehicle's fuel
system. Do not add anything to
E85 or FlexFuel. Damage caused
by additives would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
{
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.
