message CLEANING EXHAUST
FILTER KEEP DRIVING UNTIL
MESSAGE IS CLEARED.
If the vehicle continues to be driven
in a manner that prevents effective
DPF cleaning, the DPF will become
plugged with particulates. If this
occurs, the engine computer will
turn on the service engine soon light
in the instrument cluster and the
DIC will display the message
ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED.
SeeDiesel Particulate Filter on
page 9-26 andEngine Power
Messages on page 5-29.
Fuel
Use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
Fuel (ULSD)
Use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
(ULSD) only. The emission control
hardware used on the vehicle may
be damaged by using fuel with high
sulfur levels. Use only fuel that is
dispensed from pumps bearing the
ULSD label. Do Not Use Low Sulfur Diesel
Fuel (LSD)
Do not use fuel that is dispensed
from pumps bearing the LSD label.
Do Not Use Non-Highway Fuel
Fuel labeled as off road or
non-highway is typically very high in
sulfur content and will damage the
emission control system.
Non-highway fuel is not intended for
use in on-highway vehicles.
In addition:
.Use the correct engine oil.
.Do not add gasoline to
diesel fuel.
.Do not modify the induction or
exhaust systems.
See Fuel for Diesel Engines on
page 9-54 andEngine Oil on
page 10-11.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used
with diesel engines to reduce the
amount of regulated emissions
produced. The DEF system must be
maintained for the vehicle to run
properly. It is normal to hear the
DEF system purge fluid back into
the tank after the vehicle is shutoff.
Locating Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF can be purchased at a
Chevrolet dealer. It can also be
purchased at authorized vehicle
dealerships. Additionally, some
diesel fueling stations or retailers
may have DEF for purchase. For
vehicles with an active OnStar
®
subscription, OnStar can help to
locate a DEF retailer. See
“Customer Assistance Offices” in
the owner manual for phone
numbers to assist you in contacting
a GM dealer. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on
page 11-12.

Instruments and Controls 5-11
Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
show a problem with the fuel gauge:
.At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.The gauge moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up.
.The gauge takes a few seconds
to stabilize after the ignition is
turned on, and will go back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
This gauge shows the engine
coolant temperature.
If the indicator needle moves to the
hot side of the gauge toward the H
or shaded area, the engine is
too hot.
If the vehicle has been operated
under normal driving conditions, pull
off the road, stop the vehicle, and
turn off the engine as soon as
possible.
Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
cluster.
When the vehicle is started, this
light flashes and a chime may come
on to remind the driver to fasten
their safety belt. Then the light stays
on solid until the belt is buckled.
This cycle may continue several
times if the driver remains or
becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.
If the driver safety belt is buckled,
neither the light nor the chime
comes on.

.Pump labeling—Retail pumps
dispensing blends containing up
to 5% biodiesel (B5) are not
required to be labeled with the
concentration of biodiesel.
Blends up to B5 must meet
ASTM D975 (Grades
number 2-D or number 1-D S15
commonly known as Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel).
{Caution
Do not use blends containing
more than 20% biodiesel. Any
engine, fuel system, or exhaust
after-treatment system damage
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Pumps dispensing more than
5% and up to 20% biodiesel are
required to be labeled with the
concentration of biodiesel. When
refueling with a biodiesel blend
above B5, ensure one of the
following two labels appears on
the dispenser:
.Biodiesel quality
—Blends
containing more than 5% and up
to 20% biodiesel must meet the
latest version of ASTM

of plugged filters if the operating
temperature is far below the
temperature at which gelling or
waxing of the fuel occurs (cloud
point).
Use of biodiesel blends greater
than B5 (5% blend) should be
avoided in cold temperatures.
.Vehicles operated for extended
periods of time on conventional
diesel fuel and then switched to
biodiesel blends may experience
premature fuel filter clogging and
require more frequent fuel filter
service.
With long-term use of
conventional diesel fuel, gum
and varnish may be deposited
within the tank and fuel system.
These deposits, while not
problematic with the use of
conventional diesel fuel, may
become loosened with a sudden
switch to biodiesel blends and
cause fuel filter plugging.
.Use of biodiesel blends will
degrade the performance of your
vehicle’s water separator.
Biodiesel reduces the
effectiveness of the vehicle’s
water separator, and in the event
of water contamination of the
fuel, increases the risk of
damage to the fuel system.
Refueling
Diesel fuel can foam when you fill
the tank. This can cause the
automatic pump nozzle to shut off,
even though the tank is not full.
If this happens, wait for the foaming
to stop, and then try filling the tank
more slowly. See Filling the Tank on
page 9-61.
{Warning
Heat coming from the engine can
cause the fuel to expand and
force the fuel out of the tank.
If something ignites the fuel, a fire
could start. To help avoid this, fill

the tank slowly and only until the
nozzle shuts off. Do not top it off.
Clean up any spilled fuel.
Accidental Refueling with
Gasoline
{Caution
If the vehicle is accidentally
refueled with gasoline, do not
continue driving the vehicle
except to get to a location where
it can be stopped safely. Driving
the vehicle will damage the fuel
system. Have the vehicle towed
to a qualified technician to have
the gasoline removed from the
tank, preferably until the fuel
gauge reads near E (Empty).
Refuel with Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel fuel.

NOM-086 Pemex UBA, which meets
the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel
requirement. This fuel is not
available in all regions of Mexico.
{Caution
Use of diesel fuel other than Ultra
Low Sulfur Diesel (15 ppm sulfur
maximum) will damage the
exhaust after-treatment system.
This damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.

area and allow the filter to warm up
to between 0°C (32°F) and 10°C
(50°F). You will not need to replace
the filter. Additional information on
the fuel filter follows.
Use of biodiesel blends greater than
B5 (5% blend) should be avoided in
cold temperatures.
Water in Fuel (Diesel)
The fuel filter assembly has a
sensor to determine if there
is water in the fuel. If there is
water in the fuel, a WATER IN
FUEL–CONTACT SERVICE
message will display. See Fuel
System Messages on page 5-29.
The water will need to be drained.
See your dealer.
Running Out of Fuel
(Diesel)
Running out of diesel fuel requires
priming after fuel is added. With engine switched off, turn
ignition key to ON, wait
approximately 15 seconds, and turn
key to LOCK to perform priming
operation. Perform this operation
three times or more while the
engine is switched off, to avoid air
entering the fuel line.
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.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended.
.Do not reenter the vehicle
while pumping fuel.
.Keep children away from the
fuel pump and never let
children pump fuel.
.Fuel can spray out if the fuel
cap is opened too quickly.
This spray can happen if the
tank is nearly full, and is
more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop
then unscrew the cap all
the way

The fuel cap is behind a hinged fuel
door on the passenger side of the
vehicle. To open the fuel door, push
and release the rearward center
edge of the door.
Turn the fuel cap counterclockwise
to remove. Reinstall the cap by
turning it clockwise until it clicks.
On vehicles with gasoline engines,
if the cap is not properly installed,
the malfunction indicator lamp will
come on. SeeMalfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 5-14. Do not top off or overfill the tank.
Wait a few seconds before removing
the nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care on page 10-88.
{Warning
If a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.

emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5-14.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
DEF is a non-toxic solution that is
sprayed into the exhaust stream of
diesel vehicles to cause a chemical
reaction and break down NOx
emissions into harmless nitrogen
and water.

DEF is not a fuel additive and never
comes into contact with diesel fuel.
It is stored in a separate tank, under
the load floor carpet in the trunk.
It has a blue filler cap. SeeDiesel
Exhaust Fluid on page 9-27.
Filling a Portable Fuel
Container
{Warning
Filling a portable fuel container
while it is in the vehicle can cause
fuel vapors that can ignite either
by static electricity or other
means. You or others could be
badly burned and the vehicle
could be damaged. Always:
