When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or
more of the tires are
significantly underinflated.
A Driver Information Center
(DIC) tire pressure message
may also display. Stop as soon
as possible, and inflate the
tires to the pressure value shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Tire Pressure
0372.
When the Light Flashes First
and Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a
minute and then stays on,
there may be a problem with
the TPMS. If the problem is
not corrected, the light will
come on every time the
vehicle is started. See Tire
Pressure Monitor Operation
0 376.

Caution
If you add electrical parts or
accessories, you could
change the way the engine
operates. Any resulting
damage would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment0325.
To start the vehicle: 1. With the Keyless Access system, the remote key
must be in the vehicle.
Press ENGINE START/
STOP with the brake pedal
applied. When the engine
begins cranking, let go of
the button. The idle speed
will go down as the engine
warms up. Do not race the
engine immediately after
starting it.
If the remote key is not in
the vehicle, if there is
interference, or if the
remote key battery is low,
a Driver Information Center (DIC) message will
display. See Remote Key
Operation
09.
Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by pressing
ENGINE START/STOP
immediately after cranking
has ended, can overheat and
damage the cranking motor,
and drain the battery. Wait
at least 15 seconds between
each try, to let the cranking
motor cool down.
2. If the engine does not start after five to 10 seconds,
especially in very cold
weather (below −18 °C or
0 °F), it could be flooded
with too much gasoline.
Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it
there, then press ENGINE
START/STOP for up to a
maximum of 15 seconds.
Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow the cranking motor to cool
down. When the engine
starts, let go of the button
and the accelerator. If the
vehicle starts briefly but
then stops again, do the
same thing. This clears the
extra gasoline from the
engine. Do not race the
engine immediately after
starting it. Operate the
engine and transmission
gently until the oil warms
up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Stop/Start System
The Stop/Start system will
shut off the engine to help
conserve fuel. It has
components designed for the
increased number of starts.
{Warning
The automatic engine Stop/
Start feature causes the
engine to shut off while the
vehicle is still on. Do not exit

Fuels in Foreign
Countries
The U.S., Canada, and Mexico
post fuel octane ratings in
anti-knock index (AKI). For fuel
not to use in a foreign country,
see Prohibited Fuels0310.
Fuel Additives
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
is highly recommended for use
with your vehicle. If your
country does not have TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, add
ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus−Gasoline to
the vehicle’s gasoline fuel tank
at every oil change or
15 000 km (9,000 mi),
whichever occurs first. TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline and
ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus−Gasoline will
help keep your vehicle’s
engine fuel deposit free and
performing optimally.
Filling the Tank
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates which side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on. See
Fuel Gauge 0122.
{Warning
Fuel vapors and fuel fires
burn violently and can cause
injury or death.
Follow these guidelines 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.
.Avoid using electronic
devices while refueling.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Do not re-enter the
vehicle while pumping fuel.
.Keep children away from
the fuel pump and never
let children pump fuel.
.Before touching the fill
nozzle, touch a metallic
object to discharge static
electricity from your body.
.Fuel can spray out if the
fill nozzle is inserted too
quickly. This spray can
happen if the tank is
nearly full, and is more
likely in hot weather. Insert
the fill nozzle slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to
stop before beginning to
flow fuel.

Driving
Characteristics and
Towing Tips
{Warning
You can lose control when
towing a trailer if the correct
equipment is not used or the
vehicle is not driven
properly. For example, if the
trailer is too heavy or the
trailer brakes are
inadequate for the load, the
vehicle may not stop as
expected. You and others
could be seriously injured.
The vehicle may also be
damaged, and the repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Pull a
trailer only if all the steps in
this section have been
followed. Ask your dealer for
advice and information
about towing a trailer with
the vehicle.
Driving with a Trailer
Trailering is different than just
driving the vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in
handling, acceleration, braking,
durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering
takes correct equipment, and
it has to be used properly.
The following information has
many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules.
Many of these are important
for your safety and that of
your passengers. Read this
section carefully before pulling
a trailer.
When towing a trailer:
.Become familiar with and
follow all state and local laws
that apply to trailer towing.
These requirements vary
from state to state.
.State laws may require the
use of extended side view
mirrors. If your visibility is
limited or restricted while
towing, install extended side
view mirrors, even if not
required.
.Do not tow a trailer during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
vehicle use to prevent
damage to the engine, axle,
or other parts.
.GM recommends performing
an oil change to the vehicle
before heavy towing.
.Do not drive over 80 km/h
(50 mph) and do not make
starts at full throttle during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
trailer towing.
.Vehicles can tow in D (Drive).
If the transmission
downshifts too often, a
lower gear may be selected
using Manual Mode. See
Manual Mode0262.
