Fog Lamp Light
This light will come on
when the fog lamps
are in use.
The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off.
See ªFog Lampsº under
Exterior Lamps on page 3-12for more information.
High-Beam On Light
This light comes on
whenever the high-beam
headlamps are on.
See ªHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changerº under
Exterior Lamps on page 3-12for additional information.
Fuel Gage
The fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel
you have left when
the ignition is on.
When the indicator nears empty, you still have a little
fuel left, but you should get more soon.
Here are four things owners usually ask about the fuel
gage. All these situations are normal and do not
indicate a problem with the fuel gage:
·At the gas station the pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
·It takes more or less fuel to ®ll up than the gage
indicates. For example, the gage reads half full, but it
took more or less than half the tank's capacity to ®ll it.
·The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.
·The gage may not indicate full when the ignition is
turned off.

Gasoline Speci®cations
It is recommended that gasoline meet speci®cations
which were developed by automobile manufacturers
around the world and contained in the World-Wide Fuel
Charter which is available from the Alliance of
Automobile Manufacturers at www.autoalliance.org.
Gasoline meeting these speci®cations could provide
improved driveability and emission control system
performance compared to other gasoline.
In Canada, look for the
ªAuto Makers' Choiceº
label on the pump.
California Fuel
If your vehicle is certi®ed to meet California Emission
Standards (see the underhood emission control label),
it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California
speci®cations. If this fuel is not available in states
adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle
will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal
speci®cations, but emission control system performance
may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp may
turn on (see
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 3-40)
and your vehicle may fail a smog-check test. If this
occurs, return to your authorized GM dealer for
diagnosis. If it is determined that the condition is caused
by the type of fuel used, repairs may not be covered
by your warranty.
Canada Only

Fuels in Foreign Countries
If you plan on driving in another country outside the
United States or Canada, the proper fuel may be hard
to ®nd. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel
not recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly
repairs caused by use of improper fuel wouldn't be
covered by your warranty.
To check the fuel availability, ask an auto club, or
contact a major oil company that does business in the
country where you'll be driving.
Filling Your Tank
{CAUTION:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel ®re can
cause bad injuries. To help avoid injuries to
you and others, read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island. Turn off your
engine when you are refueling. Don't smoke
if you're near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
Keep sparks, ¯ames and smoking materials
away from fuel. Don't leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your vehicle Ð this
is against the law in some places. Keep
children away from the fuel pump; never let
children pump fuel.
Turn the vehicle off before refueling.
5-7

Be careful not to spill fuel. Don't top off or over®ll your
tank, and wait a few seconds after you have ®nished
pumping before you remove the nozzle. Clean fuel from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See
Cleaning
the Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-93.
When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear three ªclicks.º Make sure
you fully install the cap. The diagnostic system
can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate
into the atmosphere. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
on page 3-40.
{CAUTION:
If a ®re starts while you're refueling, don't
remove the nozzle. Shut off the ¯ow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by notifying the
station attendant. Leave the area immediately.
Notice:If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get the
right type. Your dealer can get one for you. If you get
the wrong type, it may not ®t properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light and
may damage your fuel tank and emissions system.
See ªMalfunction Indicator Lampº in the Index.

Filling a Portable Fuel Container
{CAUTION:
Never ®ll a portable fuel container while it is in
your vehicle. Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite the gasoline vapor.You
can be badly burned and your vehicle damaged if
this occurs. To help avoid injury to you and others:
·Dispense gasoline only into approved
containers.
·Do not ®ll a container while it is inside a
vehicle, in a vehicle's trunk, pickup bed or on
any surface other than the ground.
·Bring the ®ll nozzle in contact with the inside
of the ®ll opening before operating the nozzle.
Contact should be maintained until the ®lling is
complete.
·Don't smoke while pumping gasoline.
Checking Things Under
the Hood
{CAUTION:
An electric fan under the hood can start up
and injure you even when the engine is not
running. Keep hands, clothing and tools away
from any underhood electric fan.
{CAUTION:
Things that burn can get on hot engine parts
and start a ®re. These include liquids like fuel,
oil, coolant, brake ¯uid, windshield washer and
other ¯uids, and plastic or rubber. You or
others could be burned. Be careful not to drop
or spill things that will burn onto a hot engine.
