240 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Fuel
Use the recommended fuel for proper
vehicle maintenance.
For the LGW 3.0L V6 twin turbo
engine, use unleaded petrol with a
posted octane rating of 95 RON or
higher. If the octane is less than
95 RON, the engine could be damaged
and repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. If heavy
knocking is heard when using petrol
rated at 95 RON octane, the engine
needs service.
For the LGX 3.6L V6 engine, use
unleaded petrol with a posted octane
rating of 91 RON or higher, otherwise
an audible knocking noise may be
heard. If heavy knocking is heard
when using gasoline rated at 91 RON
or higher, the engine needs service.
Caution
Do not use fuels with any of the
following conditions; doing so may
damage the vehicle and void its
warranty:(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
.Fuel with any amount of
methanol, methylal, and
aniline. These fuels can
corrode metal fuel system
parts or damage plastic and
rubber parts.
. Fuel containing metals such
as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT), which can damage
the emissions control system
and spark plugs.
. Fuel with a posted octane
rating of less than the
recommended fuel. Using this
fuel will lower fuel economy
and performance, and may
decrease the life of the
emissions catalyst.
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.
