Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting

to do your own service work, see Servicing Your

Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-61.

You should keep a record with all parts receipts and

list the mileage and the date of any service work

you perform. See Maintenance Record on page 6-14.

Adding Equipment to the Outside

of Your Vehicle

Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle

can affect the airﬂow around it. This may cause

wind noise and affect windshield washer performance.

Check with your dealer before adding equipment to

the outside of your vehicle.

Fuel

Use of the recommended fuel is an important part

of the proper maintenance of your vehicle.

Gasoline Octane

Use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane

rating of 87 or higher. If the octane rating is less than 87,

you may notice an audible knocking noise when you

drive, commonly referred to as spark knock. If this

occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher as

soon as possible. If you are using gasoline rated at

87 octane or higher and you hear heavy knocking, your

engine needs service.

Gasoline Speciﬁcations

At a minimum, gasoline should meet ASTM

speciﬁcation D 4814 in the United States or

CAN/CGSB-3.5 in Canada. Some gasolines may

contain an octane-enhancing additive called

methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

General Motors recommends against the use of

gasolines containing MMT. See Additives on

page 5-6 for additional information.
