IN BRIEF 25
The low tire pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in pressure
of one of the vehicle's tires. If the
warning light comes on, stop as soon
as possible and inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label.
SeeVehicle Load Limits 0192. The
warning light will remain on until the
tire pressure is corrected.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the tire
pressures are getting low and the tires
need to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
System 0292.Fuel (LTG 2.0L L4 Turbo
Engine)
Premium Recommended Fuel
Use unleaded petrol rated at 95 RON
or higher in your vehicle. Unleaded
petrol with an octane rating as low as
91 RON may be used, but it will
reduce performance and fuel economy.
See Fuel 0242.
Fuel (LGX 3.6L V6 Engine)
Use only unleaded petrol rated at 91
RON or higher in your vehicle. Do not
use petrol with an octane rating lower
as it may result in vehicle damage and
lower fuel economy. See Fuel0242.
Fuel (LF3 3.6L V6 Twin
Turbo and LT4 6.2L
V8 Engines)
Premium Required Fuel
Use 95 RON or higher octane
unleaded gasoline in your vehicle. Do

242 DRIVING AND OPERATING
How the System Works
The LKA camera sensor is on the
windshield ahead of the rearview
mirror.
To turn LKA on and off, press
A
on the center stack.
When on,
Ais green if LKA is
available to assist and provide LDW
alerts. It may assist by gently turning
the steering wheel and display
A
as amber if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking without using a
turn signal in that direction. It may
also provide an LDW alert by
flashing
Aamber as the lane
marking is crossed. Additionally, there
will be three beeps, or the driver seat
will pulse three times, on the right or
left, depending on the lane departure
direction.
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle. If LKA
does not detect active driver steering,
an alert and chime may be provided.
Move the steering wheel to dismiss.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
. Close vehicles ahead.
. Sudden lighting changes, such as
when driving through tunnels.
. Banked roads.
. Roads with poor lane markings,
such as two-lane roads.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are
clearly visible, cleaning the windshield
may help.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts
may occur due to tar marks, shadows,
cracks in the road, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.
Fuel
Use the recommended fuel for proper
vehicle maintenance.
For the LTG 2.0L L4 turbo engine, use
unleaded petrol with a posted octane
rating of 95 RON or higher. Unleaded
petrol rated at 91 RON can be used,
but acceleration and fuel economy
will be reduced, and an audible
knocking noise may be heard. If this
occurs, use petrol rated at 95 RON as
soon as possible, otherwise the engine
could be damaged. If heavy knocking
is heard when using unleaded petrol
rated at 95 RON, 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.
For the LF3 3.6L V6 Twin Turbo and
LT4 6.2L V8 engines, 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.
Caution
Do not use fuels with any of the
following conditions; doing so may
damage the vehicle and void its
warranty:. 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

Caution (Continued)
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.
. Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended.
. Do not use a cell phone while
refueling.
. Do not reenter the vehicle
while pumping fuel.
. Keep children away from the
fuel pump and never let
children pump fuel.
