Caution
The transmission external canister filter
must be changed at 12 000 km
(7,500 mile) during the break-in period.
Failure to replace the external canister
filter can cause damage to the
transmission and potentially void any
warranty. Every 36 000 km (22,500 mi)
.Replace the passenger compartment air
filter. Or every 24 months, whichever
comes first. More frequent passenger
compartment air filter replacement may
be needed if driving in areas with heavy
traffic, poor air quality, high dust levels,
or environmental allergens. Passenger
compartment air filter replacement may
also be needed if there is reduced airflow,
window fogging, or odors. Your GM
dealer can help determine when to
replace the filter.
.Change the dual clutch transmission
external canister filter. Check the
transmission fluid life percentage.
If the percentage is less than 10%, replace
the fluid and external canister filter.

be changed at least every three years and
the Fluid Life System must be reset. Your
dealer has trained service technicians who
will change the fluid and reset the
system. If the system is ever reset
accidentally, the fluid must be changed at
72 000 km (45,000 mi) since the last fluid
change. See
