.Read and understand the
limitations of the rear parking
assist system as contained in
this section. Inclement
weather may affect the
function of the RPA; this may
include reduced performance
or a false activation.
.This system is not designed
to prevent contact with small
or moving objects.
.The system is designed as a
aid to the driver in detecting
large stationary objects to
help avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system will not

Warning (Continued)
or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms.
The Rear Parking Assist (RPA)
sounds a tone to warn the driver of
obstacles near the rear bumper
when the shift lever is in
R (Reverse). The system may not
detect objects at speeds above
5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The RPA detects objects up to 1.8 m
(5.9 ft) from the rear bumper with a
decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper. As you
move closer to the obstacle, the rate
of the tone increases. When the
obstacle is less than 25 cm (10 in)
away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the RPA detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25 cm (10 in) from the side of
the vehicle, the tone will sound for only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again.
The RPA automatically turns on
when the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition switch
is in ON. The RPA OFF switch on
the instrument panel allows the
driver to turn the RPA on and off. To
turn the RPA off, the ignition switch
must be placed in ON. An indicator
light on the switch will illuminate
when the system is turned off. If the
indicator light illuminates when the
RPA is not turned off, it may indicate
a malfunction in the RPA.
Keep the RPA sensors, located on
the rear bumper, free from snow,
ice, and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered,
it will affect the accuracy of
the RPA.
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
When the shift lever is shifted into
R (Reverse), the display shows the
view to the rear of the vehicle.
{Warning
.Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions for proper
use of the Rear Vision
Camera (RVC) could result in
serious injury or death.
.The RVC is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn
and look out the windows,
and check mirrors to be sure
that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always
back up slowly.
.The system is designed as an
aid to the driver in showing

.Objects on the RVC display
will appear visually opposite
than when viewed in the
rearview and outside mirrors.
.Make sure that the back
doors are securely closed
when backing up.
.Do no put anything on the
rearview camera. The
rearview camera is installed
on the back door.
.When washing the vehicle
with high pressure water, be
sure not to spray it around
the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit
causing water condensation
on the lens, a malfunction,
fire, or an electric shock.

Fuel
Use of the recommended fuel is an
important part of the proper
maintenance of this vehicle. When
driving in the U.S. and Canada, to
help keep the engine clean and
maintain optimum vehicle
performance, we recommend using
TOP TIER Detergent Gasolines.
See www.toptiergas.com for a list of
TOP TIER Detergent Gasolines.
Use regular unleaded gasoline
meeting ASTM specification D4814
with a posted octane rating of 87 orhigher. Do not use gasoline with an
octane rating below 87, as it may
cause engine damage and will lower
fuel economy.
Use of Seasonal Fuels
Use summer and winter fuels in the
appropriate season. The fuels
industry automatically modifies the
fuel for the appropriate season.
If fuel is left in the vehicle tank for
long periods of time, driving or
starting could be affected. Drive the
vehicle until the fuel is at one-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.
{Warning
.Using a fuel other than what
is specified could adversely
affect the emission control
system, and may also affect
the warranty coverage.
.Under no circumstances
should either a leaded
gasoline or gasoline with
MMTbe used. Doing so will
damage the catalytic
converter.
.Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel
in your vehicle. Your vehicle
is not designed to run on
E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-15
or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not
specifically designed for E-15
or E-85 fuel can adversely
damage the emission control
devices and systems of the
vehicle. Damage caused by
such fuel is not covered by
the new vehicle limited
warranty.

9-38 Driving and Operating
Some gasolines, mainly high octane
racing gasolines, can contain an
octane-enhancing additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use
gasolines and/or fuel additives with
MMT as they will reduce spark plug
life and affect emission control
system. The malfunction indicator
lamp may turn on. If this occurs, see
your dealer for service.
California Fuel
Requirements
If the vehicle is certified to meet
California Emissions Standards, it is
designed to operate on fuels that
meet California specifications. See
the underhood emission control
label. If this fuel is not available in
states adopting California Emissions
Standards, the vehicle will operate
satisfactorily on fuels meeting
federal specifications, but emission
control system performance might
be affected. The malfunction
indicator lamp could turn on and the
vehicle may not pass a smog-checktest. See
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 5-11. If this occurs,
return to your authorized dealer for
diagnosis. If it is determined that the
condition is caused by the type of
fuel used, repairs may not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Fuels in Foreign
Countries
If planning to drive in countries
outside the U.S. or Canada, the
proper fuel might be hard to find.
Check regional auto club or fuel
retail brand websites for availability
in the country where driving. Never
use leaded gasoline, fuel containing
methanol, manganese, or any other
fuel not recommended. Costly
repairs caused by use of improper
fuel would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Fuel Additives
To keep fuel systems clean, TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline is
recommended. See Fuel on
page 9-37.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is
not available, one bottle of Fuel
System Treatment PLUS 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.
