Child Restraint SystemsWe recommend the GM childrestraint system which is tailoredspecifically to the vehicle.
When a child restraint system isbeing used, pay attention to thefollowing usage and installationinstructions and also those suppliedwith the child restraint system.
Always comply with local or nationalregulations. In some countries, theuse of child restraint systems isforbidden on certain seats.
{ Warning
NEVER use a rearward facingchild restraint on a seat protectedby an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front ofit, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURYto the CHILD can occur.
{ Warning
WARNING–EXTREME HAZARD
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Do not use a rearward facingchild restraint on a seat protectedby an airbag in front of it.
The child could be seriouslyinjured if the airbag inflates, asthe child's head would be veryclose to the inflating airbag.
{ Warning
When using a child restraintsystem on the front passengerseat, the airbag systems for thefront passenger seat must bedeactivated; if not, the triggeringof the airbags poses a risk of fatalinjury to the child.
This is especially the case ifrear-facing child restraint systemsare used on the frontpassenger seat.
The rear seats are the mostconvenient location to fasten a childrestraint system.
Children should travel facingrearwards in the vehicle as long aspossible. This makes sure that thechild's backbone, which is still veryweak, is under less strain in theevent of an accident.
Children under the age of 12 yearsthat are shorter than 150 cm (5 ft)are only allowed to travel in arestraint system that is suitable forthe child. Suitable are restraintsystems that comply with ECE44-03 or ECE 44-04. Since a properposition of the belt is rarely possiblewith a child that is shorter than150 cm (5 ft), we strongly advise theuse of an appropriate child restraintsystem, even though this might, dueto the age of the child, no longer belegally binding.
Never carry a child while travellingin the vehicle. The child will becometoo heavy to hold in the event of acollision.
When transporting children, use thechild restraint systems suitable forthe child's weight.
Ensure that the child restraintsystem to be installed is compatiblewith the vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location ofthe child restraint system within thevehicle is correct.
Only allow children to enter and exitthe vehicle at the side facing awayfrom the traffic.
When the child restraint system isnot in use, secure the seat with asafety belt or remove it from thevehicle.
Note: Do not stick anything on thechild restraint systems and do notcover them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which hasbeen subjected to stress in anaccident must be replaced.
Please ensure that infants andchildren are seated in the rear seatsusing child restraints.
Until the children can use seat belts,please select a child restraintsuitable for its age and make surethe child wears it. Please see theinstructions on the relevant productsfor child restraints.

It is not a system failure underthe circumstances listed below:
Situations that can affect the GPSpositioning:. Sometimes, when you are
driving on the motorway/viaduct,the floating point swings.
. When you are driving on a verysteep road.
. When you are driving on spiralroad, you will find that thefloating point swings. It isnothing to do with the radius ofthe road and the driving speedof your vehicle. One reasonmight be that the real roadcondition may differ from theinformation on theelectronic map.
. When you make a right/left turnto enter a road that has parallelroads nearby (less than 50 m
distance), you might find that thefloating point may go toanother road.
. When driving on a wide road in asnaky line, you may experiencethat the floating point swings dueto the mismatch of real distance.
. Before returning to ground levelroad after you have been drivingin an underground car park orthe spiral path of the multi-levelcar park, you will find that thefloating point may swing. Whenyour car is in a rotary elevator,the arrow of the floating pointmay not point to the rightdirection.
. Providing voice prompt at abranching path ahead.
. The guided distance maydeviate from the actualdistance rate.
When any of those situationsoccurs, the GPS satellite willautomatically adjust the currentposition fix if you keep driving.
Problems caused by map files:. When you return from a road
which is newly constructed to aroad recorded in map file, youmay find floating point swingsbecause the map file may notreflect the real road conditions.After you have driven for a while,the system will adjust to the rightposition using GPS signalinformation
. No through way due to roadclosure or pedestrian path
. Opening of a new road andclosure of old road;
. Guide to a no-through road;
. Route re-computed againwithout changing the proposedroute;
. Guide to a normal road insteadof a viaduct, or vice versa;
. If there are only small laneswithout a normal road near thedestination, the system will onlyguide you to a place near to yourdestination;
. Turning instruction mismatchwith the real road condition;
. No indication of direction orvoice prompt about entrance/exitwhile guiding on motorway/expressway.
. Schematic map may mismatchreal road conditions.
Places having difficulties inreceiving GPS signals. In tunnels;. Between high buildings;. Under viaducts;. In trees/forests;
When using an external GPS aerial,we recommend that you place it onthe roof of the car. If there is a rackon the roof of your car, please makesure to separate the rack and theaerial.
GPS is managed by the USDepartment of Defense. It maypurposely reduce the accuracy ofthe GPS signals so that the floatingpoint may swing.
Use Notice. The floating point may swing
before the GPS signal isreceived when you turn thepower on.
. The floating point may swingwhen you use the system thefirst time after installation.
. The system will automaticallyadjust its position and directionusing GPS signals when thefloating point mismatches realconditions.

Engine Exhaust
{ Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide (CO) which cannot beseen or smelled. Exposure to COcan cause unconsciousness andeven death.
Exhaust may enter the vehicle if:. The vehicle idles in areaswith poor ventilation (parkinggarages, tunnels, deep snowthat may block underbodyairflow or exhaust pipes).
. The exhaust smells orsounds strange or different.
. The exhaust system leaksdue to corrosion or damage.
. The vehicle exhaust systemhas been modified, damaged,or improperly repaired.
. There are holes or openingsin the vehicle body fromdamage or aftermarketmodifications that are notcompletely sealed.
If unusual fumes are detectedor if it is suspected thatexhaust is coming into thevehicle:
. Drive it only with the windowscompletely down.
. Have the vehicle repairedimmediately.
Never park the vehicle withthe engine running in anenclosed area such as agarage or a building that hasno fresh air ventilation.
Diesel Particulate FilterThe diesel particle filter systemfilters harmful soot particles out ofthe exhaust gases. The systemincludes a self-cleaning function thatruns automatically during driving.The filter is cleaned by burning offthe soot particles at hightemperature. This process takesplace automatically under setdriving conditions and may takemore than 15 minutes. The emissionof smells and smoke during thisprocess is normal.
Under certain driving conditions,e.g. short distances, the systemcannot clean itself automatically.
If the control indicator (DPF lamps)L illuminates or flashes, it isnecessary to activate the cleaningprocess of Diesel Particulate Filterby continuing driving safely untilDPF lamps off at the cluster. Incase, constant driving will be betterfor cleaning process.
{ Warning
Be sure the following precautionsare taken because the exhaustparts are raised to hightemperature during regenerationof DPF.
. Things that can burn couldtouch hot exhaust parts underyour vehicle and ignite. Donot place your vehicle overpapers, leaves, dry grass orother things that can burn.
. Turn the ignition OFF as soonas your vehicle enters agarage.
. Do not go near the hotexhaust parts includingexhaust tail pipe.
Catalytic ConverterThe catalytic converter reduces theamount of harmful substances in theexhaust gas.
{ Caution
Use of fuel with low quality or toolow octane number may damagethe engine, the catalytic converteror electronic components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat anddamage the catalytic converter.Therefore avoid excessive use ofthe starter, running the fuel tankdry and starting the engine bypushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, unevenengine running, a reduction inengine performance or otherunusual problems, have the causeof the fault rectified by a repairer assoon as possible. In an emergency,
driving can be continued for a shortperiod, keeping vehicle speed andengine speed low.
{ Caution
Don't touch the catalytic converterduring engine operating and itcan be possible to touch thecatalytic converter after coolingdown the catalytic converterbecause the catalytic converter isvery hot so the skin (i.e. hand orbody) can be burned: coolingdown condition - cool down overtwo hours under ambienttemperature after engine stop.

To help prevent damage to thetransmission, observe thefollowing precautions:
Do not press the acceleratorpedal while shifting from P or N toR or a forward gear.
To do so may not only damagethe transmission, but could causeyou to lose control of the vehicle.
Use D as much as possible.
Never shift to P or R while thevehicle is in motion.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
When stopping the vehicle on anuphill gradient, do not hold thevehicle in place by pressing theaccelerator pedal. Use the footbrake.
Press the brake pedal whenshifting from P or N to R or aforward gear.
Otherwise transmission could bedamaged or vehicle could moveunexpectedly, causing driver tolose control of the vehicle,resulting in personal injury ordamage to the vehicle or otherproperty.
It is inadvisable to drive with ahand resting on the gear lever.
Drive Systems
All-Wheel DriveIf your vehicle has active ondemand all-wheel drive (AWD), theAWD system operates automaticallywithout any action required by thedriver. If the front drive wheels beginto slip, the rear wheels willautomatically begin to drive thevehicle as required. There may be aslight engagement noise during harduse but this is normal.
The AWD warning light C flasheswhen AWD system is temporarilydisabled. If the light flashes briefly,and then goes out, this is normaland does not indicate a systemfault. However if the light flashescontinuously, you should consult arepairer to repair the problem assoon as possible.
The light comes on to indicate thatthere is a malfunction in the AWDsystem. If it happens, your vehicleshould be serviced by a repairer.
BrakesThe braking system is designed forbraking performance under a widerange of driving conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with frontand rear disc brakes and a dualcircuit braking system.
If one brake circuit should fail, thevehicle can still be stopped with theremaining circuit, however, stoppingdistance will be increased and morebrake pedal pressure will berequired.
{ Warning
If one of the circuits fail, the brakepedal must be pressed withgreater pedal pressure and thebraking distance is increased.
Have the brake system checkedand repaired by a repairerimmediately.
If the brake pedal can be pressedfurther than normal, the brakesmay be in need of repair.
Consult a repairer immediately.
{ Caution
Do not drive with your foot restingon the brake pedal.
Doing so will accelerate wear ofthe brake components. Thebrakes may also becomeoverheated, resulting in longerbraking distance and an unsafecondition.
Centre high-mounted brake lamp (orwith brake lamps) flashes severaltimes to alert drivers coming behindyour vehicle on the followingcondition:
‐ Although brakes are operated, avehicle runs more than a certainspeed.
‐ When ABS is working atthat time.
Wet brakes
Driving through water or washingyour car can get the brakecomponents wet.
To restore normal braking:
1. Check behind you for othervehicles.
2. Keep a safe forward speed withplenty of space to your rear andsides.
3. Gently apply brakes until normalperformance is restored.
Overheated brakes
Braking excessively when goingdown a long, steep hill cantemporarily overheat the brakes.Shift to a lower gear when goingdown hills. Do not continuouslyapply the brakes.
{ Warning
After driving through deep water,washing the vehicle, or using thebrakes excessively when goingdown a steep hill, the brakes cantemporarily lose their stoppingpower. This may be due to wetbrake components oroverheating.
If your brakes temporarily losetheir stopping power because ofoverheating:
Shift to a lower gear when goingdown hills. Do not continuouslyapply the brakes.
normal. The advantages of ABSare no longer available. Duringhard braking, the vehicle can nolonger be steered and mayswerve.
Have the cause of the faultremedied by a repairer.
Parking Brake
The vehicle has an Electric ParkingBrake (EPB). The switch for theEPB is in the centre console. TheEPB can always be activated, evenif the ignition is OFF. To preventdraining the battery, avoid repeatedcycles of the EPB system when theengine is not running.
The system has a parking brakestatus lightY and a parking brakewarning light.
See Brake System Warning Light onpage 5-20. In case of insufficientelectrical power, the EPB cannot beapplied or released. Before leavingthe vehicle, check the parking brakestatus lamp to insure the parkingbrake is applied.
EPB Apply
The EPB can be applied any timethe vehicle is stopped. The EPB isapplied by momentarily lifting up onthe EPB switch. Once fully applied,the parking brake status lightYwill be on. While the brake is beingapplied, the status lamp will flashuntil full apply is reached. If the lightdoes not come on or remainsflashing, you need to have thevehicle serviced. Do not drive thevehicle if the parking brake statuslight is flashing. Consult a repairer.
See Brake System Warning Light onpage 5-20.
If the EPB is applied while thevehicle is in motion, a chime willsound. The vehicle will decelerateas long as the switch is held in theup position. Releasing the EPBswitch during the deceleration willrelease the parking brake. If theswitch is held in the up position untilthe vehicle comes to a stop, theEPB will remain applied.
If the parking brake status lightYflashes continuously, the EPB isonly partially applied or released,or there is a problem with the EPB.If this light flashes continuously,release the EPB, and attempt toapply it again. If this light continuesto flash, do not drive the vehicle.Consult a repairer. If the parkingbrake warning light is on, the EPBhas detected an error in anothersystem and is operating withreduced functionality. To apply theEPB when this light is on, lift up onthe EPB switch and hold it in the upposition. Full application of theparking brake by the EPB systemmay take a longer period of timethan normal when this light is on.
Continue to hold the switch until theparking brake status lightYremains on. If the parking brakewarning light is on, consult arepairer.
If the EPB fails to apply, the rearwheels should be blocked toprevent vehicle movement.
EPB Release
To release the EPB, place theignition in the ON/START position,apply and hold the brake pedal, andpush down momentarily on the EPBswitch. If you attempt to release theEPB without the brake pedalapplied, a chime will sound and thepress brake pedal light# willappear.
The EPB is released when theparking brake status lightY is off.
If the parking brake warning light ison, the EPB has detected an errorin another system and is operatingwith reduced functionality. Torelease the EPB when this light ison, push down on the EPB switchand hold it in the down position.
EPB release may take a longerperiod of time than normal when thislight is on. Continue to hold theswitch until the parking brake statuslightY is off. If the light is on,consult a repairer.
Note: Driving with the parkingbrake on can overheat the brakesystem and cause premature wearor damage to brake system parts.Make sure that the parking brake isfully released and the brake warninglight is off before driving.
The EPB will automatically release ifthe vehicle is running, placed intogear and an attempt is made todrive away. Avoid rapid accelerationwhen the EPB is applied, topreserve parking brake lining life.
{ Warning
If the parking brake is not setproperly, the vehicle may movesuddenly. See a repairer if anadjustment is required.
{ Caution
Do not drive with the parkingbrake on.
This can cause your rear parkingbrakes to overheat or wear outprematurely. You may have toreplace them, and you coulddamage other parts of yourvehicle.
{ Caution
Do not park or operate yourvehicle over combustiblematerials.
They could touch hot exhaustparts under your vehicle andignite.
Ride Control Systems
Electronic StabilityControl (ESC)
{ Caution
If you choose to install wintertyres on your vehicle, be sure toonly use winter tyres that arerecommended by a repairer.
Using the wrong winter tyres mayadversely affect Stability Systemperformance.
See authorised repairer for detailsregarding winter tyre availabilityand proper tyre selection.
The ESC system is an electronicvehicle stability control system anddriving safety supplementary systemthat helps to avoid dangeroussituations by applying brakes on thewheels or the engine torque tocompensate vehicle stability when itis extremely unstable under
conditions such as sharp corneringor quick lane change. The ESCfunction automatically works whenyour vehicle is in a very unstablecondition. The ESC system doesnot work under normal drivingconditions.
When the ignition is switched ON,the ESC active & warning lamp andESC off indicator come on and gooff after about 4 seconds.
The ESC active & warning lampflashes while ESC is operating andilluminates to indicate that there is amalfunction in the system. If thiscondition occurs, consult a repaireras soon as possible.
See Electronic Stability Control(ESC) Indicator Light on page 5-22.
{ Caution
If the ESC active & warning lampcomes on, the ESC system isdefective. Make sure to consult arepairer as soon as possible.
Hydraulic brake assist (HBA)function
When the ESC system recognisesany emergency situations requiringhard braking, it automaticallydelivers an extra high brakingpressure to the wheels.
Active rollover protection(ARP) function
This function is a part of the ESCsystem. When your vehicle movesin an extremely unstable manner,this function helps the vehiclemaintain normal stability.
Traction control system (TCS)function
TCS prevents the driving wheelsfrom spinning, irrespective of theroad condition and tyre grip. Assoon as at least one driving wheelstarts to spin, the engine output isreduced and the spinning wheel isbraked. This improves the vehicle'sdirectional control and drivingpower, particularly on snow and iceas well as on wet or slippery roads.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)function
Snaking road trains are very difficultto handle. This function detectssnaking and then reduces the trainsvelocity until the oscillation stops.The deceleration is obtained byreducing the engine torque andincreasing the pressure in all wheelbrakes.
Hill start assist (HSA)
The system helps prevent rollbackwhen driving away on hill.
When depressing the acceleratorpedal after releasing the brakepedal on hill, the brakes remain onfor approximately 2 seconds.
ESC can be deactivated by pressingthe ESC OFF button on the centreof the instrument panel.
If you push the ESC OFF buttonagain when the ESC function isdeactivated (ESC off indicator isturned on), the system will beresumed and the ESC off indicatoron the instrument panel goes out byresuming the ESC system.
{ Caution
When the ESC system activatesto correct the vehicle stability,reduce the speed and pay extraattention to the road.
The ESC system is only asupplementary device for thevehicle. When the vehicleexceeds its physical limits, itcannot be controlled. Do not relyon the system. Keep drivingsafely.
When the ESC is applied, youmay hear some noise or feel avibration from the brake pedal orother relevant systems. They arecaused by pressure changes inthe relevant systems.
Descent control system (DCS)
When travelling down steepgradients, this function allows you totravel at a low speed withoutdepressing the brake pedal andallows you to concentrate onsteering. This convenient function isfor only driving down steepgradients.
To activate DCS, press the DCSbutton on the centre of theinstrument panel. When the buttonis pressed, DCS is ready for use.
The green DCS active indicatorcomes on. While DCS is operating,DCS active indicator will flash.
To deactivate DCS, press the DCSbutton again. DCS active indicatorwill go off.
The amber DCS not ready &warning lamp flashes to indicatethat DCS is not ready for conditionsto operate and comes on to indicatethat there is a malfunction in thesystem.
See Descent Control System Lighton page 5-21.
{ Caution
If the amber DCS not ready andwarning lamp comes on, the DCSis malfunctioning. Make sure toconsult a repairer as soon aspossible.
DCS operational conditions
1. The DCS button should bepressed (The green DCS activeindicator comes on).
2. A certain steep gradient.
3. Driving below about 50 km/h(31.1 mph).
(DCS is not operated when thevehicle speed is over 50 km/h(31.1 mph) in spite of pressingDCS button. DCS operatesagain when the vehicle speeddecreases below 30 km/h(18.6 mph) after it is over50 km/h (31.1 mph))
4. The accelerator or brake pedalis not depressed.
(DCS is not operated only whenthe accelerator or brake pedal isapplied.)
{ Caution
DCS is designed for driving onoff-road steep gradients.
Unnecessary usage of DCS cancause malfunctions in the brakesystem or ESC. Do not use DCSwhen driving on normal roads.
It is normal to have strongvibrations and noise from thebrake system when DCS isapplied.
If your vehicle has cruise control,you can maintain a speed of about40 km/h (25 mph) or more withoutkeeping your foot on theaccelerator. This can really help onlong trips. Cruise control does notwork at speeds below about40 km/h (25 mph).
When you apply your brakes orpress the Q button, the cruisecontrol shuts off.
If your vehicle is in cruise controlwhen the optional traction controlsystem begins to limit wheel spin,the cruise control will automaticallydisengage. When road conditionsallow you to safely use it again, youmay turn the cruise control back on.
{ Caution
Cruise control can be dangerouswhere you can't drive safely at asteady speed. So, don't use yourcruise control on winding roads orin heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerouson slippery roads. On such roads,fast changes in tyre traction cancause excessive wheel slip, andyou could lose control. Don't usecruise control on slippery roads.
Setting cruise control
1. Press theI button, located onthe right side of the steeringwheel, to turn cruise control on.
2. Accelerate to the speedyou want.
3. Press the SET/- button andrelease it. An indicator light onthe instrument panel cluster willcome on to show you that thecruise control is on.
4. Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal.
{ Caution
If you leave your cruise control onwhen you're not using cruise, youmight hit a button and go intocruise when you don't want to.You could be startled and evenlose control. Keep the cruisecontrol switch off until you want touse cruise control.
Resuming a set speed
Suppose you set your cruise controlat a desired speed and then youapply the brake pedal or press theI button. This, of course, shuts off
the cruise control. But you don'tneed to reset it. Once you're goingabout 40 km/h (25 mph) or more,you can tap the RES/+ button.
You'll go right back up to yourchosen speed and stay there.
If you hold the RES/+ button longer,the vehicle will keep going fasteruntil you release the button, applythe brake pedal or press theIbutton. So unless you want to gofaster, do not hold the RES/+button.
Increasing speed while usingcruse control
There are two ways to go to ahigher speed:. Use the accelerator pedal to get
to a higher speed. Press theSET/- button, then release thebutton and the accelerator pedal.You will now cruise at the higherspeed.
. Press the RES/+ button. Hold itthere until you get up to thespeed you want, and thenrelease the button. To increaseyour speed in very smallamounts, tap the RES/+ buttonand then release it. Each timeyou do this, your vehicle will goabout 2 km/h (1.2 mph) faster.The accelerate feature will onlywork after you turn on the cruisecontrol by pressing the SET/-button.
Reducing speed while usingcruise control
There are two ways to reduce yourspeed while using cruise control:. Press the SET/- button until you
reach the lower speed you want,then release it.
. To slow down in very smallamounts, tap the SET/- button.Each time you do this, you willgo about 2 km/h (1.2 mph)slower.
Passing another vehicle whileusing cruise control
Use the accelerator pedal toincrease your speed. When youtake your foot off the pedal, yourvehicle will slow down to the cruisecontrol speed you set earlier.
Using cruise control on hills
How well your cruise control willwork on hills depends upon yourspeed, load and the steepness ofthe hills. When going up a steep hill,you may have to step on theaccelerator pedal to maintain yourspeed. When going downhill, youmay have to brake or shift to a lowergear to keep your speed down. Ofcourse, applying the brake pedaltakes you out of cruise control.Many drivers find this to be toomuch trouble and don't use cruisecontrol on steep hills.
There are several ways to turn offthe cruise control:. Step lightly on the brake pedal
or press theI button, or pressthe clutch pedal, if you have amanual transaxle.
. Press theI button on thecruise control pad.
Erasing speed memory
When you turn off the cruise controlor the ignition, your cruise controlset speed memory is erased.
Object DetectionSystems
Ultrasonic Parking Assist
Front and rear parking assist
The parking assistance systemassists the driver during forward andbackward movement of the vehicleby alarming if any object is sensedbetween the vehicle and theobstacle.
The system registers distance usingsensors in each of the front and rearbumpers.
This system is automatically turnedon whenever the ignition switchis ON.
Note: The front and rear sensorsare activated together when shiftingthe gear to "R" position.
If the shifting lever is not in "R"position, only front sensor isactivated.
If the vehicle approaches anobstacle to the front or rear, a seriesof signals sound. The intervalbetween the signals becomesshorter as the distance is reduced.
The system is deactivated when thevehicle's speed is greater than25 km/h (15 mph).
To activate the system, press thepark assist button on the instrumentpanel. The indicator button willlight up.
Parking assistance system shouldonly be considered as asupplementary function. Thedriver must check the view.
The audible warning signal canbe different depending on theobjects.
The audible warning signal mightnot activate in case the sensor isfrozen or stained with dirt or mud.
There is a chance of malfunctionof the parking assistance systemwhen driving on uneven surfacessuch as woods, gravel road,jagged road, or gradient.
Do not push, or scratch thesurface of the sensor. This willlikely damage the covering.

Fuel
Fuel AdditivesPetrol should contain detergentadditives that help prevent engineand fuel system deposits fromforming. Clean fuel injectors andintake valves will allow the emissioncontrol system to work properly.Some petrol does not containsufficient quantities of additive tokeep fuel injectors and intake valvesclean. To make up for this lack ofdetergent, it is recommended thatGM Fuel System TreatmentPLUS(ACDelco part No. 88861013)be added to the fuel tank at everyengine oil change or every15,000 km, whichever occurs first.
Petrols containing oxygenates, suchas ethers and ethanol, may beavailable in your area. However,fuels containing more than 15%ethanol, such as E85 (85% ethanol),or more than 15% MTBE (an ether)should not be used in vehicles thatwere not designed for those fuels.
Notice: This vehicle was notdesigned for fuel that containsmethanol. Do not use fuelcontaining methanol. It cancorrode metal parts in the fuelsystem and also damage plasticand rubber parts. That damagewould not be covered under thevehicle warranty.
Some petrols can contain anoctane-enhancing additive calledmethylcyclopentadienyl manganesetricarbonyl (MMT); ask the attendantwhere you buy petrol whether thefuel contains MMT. We recommendagainst the use of such petrols.Fuels containing MMT can reducespark plug life and affect emissioncontrol system performance. Themalfunction indicator lamp mightturn on. If this occurs, return to yourdealer for service.
Fuel quality and additives containedin fuel have a significant effect onpower output, drive ability, and lifeof the engine.
Fuel with too low an octane numbercan cause engine knock.
{ Caution
Use of fuel with an octanenumber lower than RON95 maydamage engine. (In somecountries, you may be able to useunleaded fuel rated at RON91.For the details, consult anauthorised repairer.)
Use of leaded fuel will damageexhaust system and invalidate thewarranty.
Note: To prevent accidental use ofleaded fuel, the nozzles for leadedfuel are larger, and will not fit thefuel filler neck of your vehicle.
Do not use methanol.
Fuels containing methanol shouldnot be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicleperformance and damagecomponents of the fuel system.
{ Caution
Use of methanol may damage thefuel system. Such misuse is notcovered by the vehicle warranty.
Operation in foreign countries Ifyou are going to drive yourvehicle in another country:
Observe all regulations regardingregistration and insurance.

Selecting the right engine oil
Use and ask for engine oils with thedexos certification mark. Oilsmeeting the requirements of thevehicle should have the dexoscertification mark on the container.
This certification mark indicates thatthe oil has been approved to thedexos specification.
This vehicle was filled at the factorywith dexos-approved engine oil.
{ Caution
Use only engine oil that isapproved to the dexosspecification or an equivalentengine oil of the appropriateviscosity grade. Engine oilsapproved to the dexosspecification will show the dexossymbol on the container. Failure
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
to use the recommended engineoil or equivalent can result inengine damage not covered bythe vehicle warranty. If you areunsure whether the oil isapproved to the dexosspecification, ask your serviceprovider.
SAE 5W-30 is the best viscositygrade for the vehicle. SAE 0W-30,0W-40, or 5W-40 can also be used.Do not use other viscosity oils suchas SAE 10W-30, 10W-40,or 20W-50.
In an area of extreme cold, wherethe temperature falls below -29°C(-20°F), an SAE 0W-30 oil shouldbe used. An oil of this viscositygrade will provide easier coldstarting for the engine at extremelylow temperatures. When selectingan oil of the appropriate viscosity
grade, be sure to always select oilthat meets the requiredspecification.
Engine oil life system
This vehicle has a computer systemthat indicates when to change theengine oil and filter. This is basedon engine revolutions, enginetemperature and mileage. Based ondriving conditions, the mileage atwhich an oil change is indicated canvary considerably. For the oil lifesystem to work properly, the systemmust be reset every time the oil ischanged.
When the system has calculatedthat oil life has been diminished, itindicates that an oil change isnecessary. A change engine oillamp displays. Change the oil assoon as possible within the next1,000 km (600 miles). It is possiblethat, if driving under the bestconditions, the oil life system mightindicate that an oil change is notnecessary for up to a year. Theengine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year and,at this time, the system must bereset. Your dealer has trainedservice people who will perform thiswork and reset the system. It is alsoimportant to check the oil regularlyover the course of an oil draininterval and keep it at the properlevel.
If the system is ever resetaccidentally, the oil must bechanged at 5,000 km (3,000 miles)since the last oil change.
After you change the oil, the oil lifemonitor will need to be reset. Seean authorised repairer for service.
How to Reset the Engine Oil LifeSystem
The engine oil life system calculateswhen to change your engine oil andfilter based on vehicle use. Anytimeyour oil is changed, reset thesystem so it can calculate when thenext oil change is required.

Tyre PressureCheck the pressure of cold tyres atleast every 14 days and before anylong journey. Do not forget thespare wheel.
Unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressures label is on thedriver's door frame.
The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer andwinter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to thepressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impairsafety, vehicle handling, comfort andfuel economy and will increasetyre wear.
Note: Check inflation pressurewhen tyres are cold. Warm tyresproduce inaccurate readings. Tyrescan become warm after you havedriven more than one mile (1.6km)and stay warm for up to three hoursafter vehicle has been sitting.
{ Warning
If the pressure is too low, this canresult in considerable tyrewarmup and internal damage,

Warning (Continued)
leading to tread separation andeven to tyre blow-out at highspeeds.
Tyre Pressure MonitorSystemThe tyre pressure monitoringsystem checks the pressure of allfour wheels once per minute whenvehicle speed exceeds a certainlimit.
All wheels must be equipped withpressure sensors and the tyresmust have the prescribed pressure.If wheels without sensors aremounted, the tyre pressuremonitoring system is notoperational. Retrofitting of sensorsis possible.
Tread DepthCheck tread depth at regularintervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safetyreasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm(4 mm for winter tyres).
The legally permissible minimumtread depth (1.6 mm) has beenreached when the tread has worndown as far as one of the treadwear indicators (TWI). Their positionis indicated by markings on thesidewall.
If there is more wear at the frontthan the rear, swap round frontwheels and rear wheels. Ensurethat the direction of rotation of thewheels is the same as before.
Tyres age, even if they are notused. We recommend tyrereplacement every 6 years.
Tyre RotationTyres are rotated to achieve a moreuniform wear for all tyres. The firstrotation is the most important.
Any time unusual wear is noticed,rotate the tyres as soon as possibleand check the wheel alignment.Also check for damaged tyres orwheels.
When rotating the tyres, always usethe correct rotation pattern shownhere. Do not include the spare tyrein the tyre rotation. Adjust the frontand rear tyres to the recommendedinflation pressure on the Tyre andLoading Information label after thetyres have been rotated.
Reset the Tyre Pressure MonitorSystem.
Check that all wheel nuts areproperly tightened.
{ Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on theparts to which it is fastened, canmake wheel nuts become looseafter time. The wheel could comeoff and cause an accident. Whenchanging a wheel, remove anyrust or dirt from places where thewheel attaches to the vehicle. Inan emergency, a cloth or a paper
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
towel can be used; however, usea scraper or wire brush later toremove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the centre of the wheelhub with wheel bearing grease aftera wheel change or tyre rotation toprevent corrosion or rust build-up.Do not get grease on the flat wheelmounting surface or on the wheelnuts or bolts.
Different Size Tyres andWheelsIf tyres of a different size than thosefitted at the factory are used, it maybe necessary to reprogram thespeedometer as well as the nominaltyre pressure and make othervehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyresize, have the label with tyrepressures replaced.
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheelsmay lead to accidents and willinvalidate the vehicle typeapproval.
{ Warning
Do not use different size and typeof tyres and wheels than thoseoriginally installed on the vehicle.It can affect safety andperformance of the vehicle.It could lead to handling failure orrollover and serious injury. Whenreplacing tyres, be sure to installall four tyres and wheels of thesame size, type, tread, brand andload-carrying capacity. The use ofany other tyre size or type mayseriously affect ride, handling,ground clearance, stoppingdistance, body clearance andspeedometer reliability.
Wheel CoversWheel covers and tyres that arefactory approved for the respectivevehicle and comply with all of therelevant wheel and tyre combinationrequirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres usedare not factory approved, the tyresmust not have a rim protectionridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brakecooling.
{ Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheelcovers could lead to suddenpressure loss and therebyaccidents.
Wheel Alignment andTyre BalanceThe tyres and wheels were alignedand balanced at the factory toprovide the longest tyre life and best
overall performance. Adjustments towheel alignment and tyre balancingare not necessary on a regularbasis. Also, your vehicle'ssuspension and steering systemsneed some time to settle from theshipping process, and adjust to theway you drive and the amount ofpassengers and cargo you carrywith you. GM recommends that youdrive your new vehicle at least 800kilometres before evaluating yourvehicle for steering pull. Some slightpull to the left or right, depending onthe crown of the road and/or otherroad surface variations such astroughs or ruts, is normal. So,consider requesting an alignmentcheck only if the vehicle issignificantly pulling to one side orthe other, or if you notice unusualtyre wear. If the vehicle is vibratingwhen driving on a smooth road, thetyres and wheels may need to bere-balanced. See your dealer forproper diagnosis.

Confirmations
Confirmation of service is recordedin the Service Guide.
The date and mileage is completedwith the stamp and signature of theservicing repairer.
Make sure that the Service Guide iscompleted correctly as continuousproof of service is essential if anywarranty or goodwill claims are tobe met, and is also a benefit whenselling the vehicle.
Every 1 year / 15,000km(10,000 miles) (whichever occurs first)
Maintenance I – Use Maintenance Ifor the first service or if MaintenanceII was performed previously
Maintenance II – Use MaintenanceII if the previous service performedwas Maintenance I.
For vehicles equipped with an oil lifemonitoring system - If the oil changelamp illuminates and it has been10 months or more from theprevious maintenance, then therelevant maintenance should alsobe carried out.
1 Change engine oil immediately if the change engine oil lamp illuminates in theinstruments cluster.If driving under severe conditions : short distance driving, extensive idling or driving industy condition, engine oil and the filter may require replacement more often.
2 Fluid loss in any vehicle system could indicate a problem. The system should beinspected and repaired and the fluid level checked. Add fluid if needed.
3 & 17 If driving regularly in dusty conditions, inspect the filter more frequently.If driving regularly in dusty conditions, the filter may require replacement more often.
5 Visually inspect brake lines and hoses for, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspectdisc brake pads for wear and discs for surface condition. Inspect drum brake linings/shoes for wear or cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel cylinders,callipers, handbrake, etc.
7 Visually inspect front and rear suspension and steering system for damage, loose ormissing parts or signs of wear. Inspect power steering components for, binding, cracks,chafing, etc.
8 Inspect wiper blades for wear, cracking, or contamination. Clean the windscreen andwiper blades, if contaminated. Replace wiper blades that are worn or damaged.
12 If driving under severe conditions : driving in hilly or mountainous terrain, or towing atrailer frequently, brake fluid may require replacement more often.
13 Visually inspect hoses and have them replaced if they are cracked, swollen, or deterio-rated. Inspect all pipes, fittings, and clamps; replace with genuine parts if needed. To helpensure correct operation, a pressure test of the cooling system and pressure cap andcleaning the outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is recommended.

Engine Oil
Engine Oil is identified by its Qualityand its Viscosity Grade. "Quality"and "Specification" are equivalentterms in this respect. Engine OilQuality is more important thanViscosity when selecting whichEngine Oil to use. The Oil Quality
ensures e.g. engine cleanliness,wear protection and oil ageingcontrol, whereas Viscosity Gradegives information on the oil'sthickness over a temperature range.
Engine Oil Quality for Service
dexos
Selecting the right Engine Oil
Selecting the right Engine Oildepends on the proper OilSpecification and SAE ViscosityGrade.
Use and ask for Engine Oils withthe dexos™ Certification Logo. Oilsmeeting the requirements of yourvehicle should have the dexos™Certification Logo on the container.
This Logo indicates that the oil hasbeen approved by GM to thedexos™ Specification.
Your vehicle's Engine was filled atthe factory with dexos™ approvedEngine Oil.
Use only engine oil that is approvedto the dexos specification or anequivalent engine oil of theappropriate viscosity grade.
If you are unsure whether your oil isapproved to the dexos specification,ask your service provider.
Use of substitute engine oils ifdexos is unavailable: In the eventthat dexos approved engine oil isnot available at an oil change or formaintaining proper oil level, youmay use substitute engine oil of thequalities mentioned above. Use of
oils that do not meet the dexosspecification, however, may result inreduced performance under certaincircumstances.
Topping up Engine Oil
Engine Oils of differentmanufacturers and brands can bemixed as long as they comply withthe required Engine Oil (Quality andViscosity).
If Engine Oil of the required Qualityis not available, a maximum of1 Litre ACEA A3/B3(Petrol) ACEAA3/B4 or ACEA C3(Diesel) may beused (only once between each oilchange).
The Viscosity should be of thecorrect rating.
Use of Engine Oil with only ACEAA1/B1 or only ACEA A5/B5 Qualityis prohibited, as it can cause longterm engine damage under certainoperating conditions.
Engine Oil Additives
The use of supplemental Engine OilAdditives could cause damage andinvalidate the warranty.
Engine Oil Viscosity Grades
The SAE Viscosity Grade givesinformation of the thickness ofthe Oil.
Multigrade Oil is indicated by twofigures:
The first figure, followed by a W,indicates the low temperatureViscosity and the second figureindicates the high temperatureViscosity.
SAE 5W-30 is the best ViscosityGrade for your vehicle. Do not useother Viscosity Grade Oils such asSAE 10W-30, 10W-40 or 20W-50.
Cold temperature operation:
If operating your vehicle in an areaof extreme cold, where thetemperature falls below -25°C, aViscosity Grade SAE 0W-xx shouldbe used. An Oil of this ViscosityGrade will provide easier coldstarting for the engine at extremelylow temperatures.
When selecting an Oil of theappropriate Viscosity Grade be sureto always select an Oil that meetsthe dexos™‚ Specification.. Down to -25°C: 5W-30, 5W-40.. Down to -25°C and below:
0W-30, 0W-40.
The SAE viscosity grade givesinformation of the thickness ofthe oil.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only organic acid type-long lifecoolant (LLC) antifreeze.
In countries with moderate climatethe coolant provides freezeprotection down to approx. -35°C.
In countries with cold climate thecoolant provides freeze protectiondown to approx. -50°C. Thisconcentration should be maintainedall year-round.
Maintain a sufficient concentrationof anti-freeze.
Coolant additives intended to giveadditional corrosion protection orseal against minor leaks can causefunction problems. Liability forconsequences resulting from theuse of coolant additives will berejected.
Brake fluid
Only use our authorised brake fluidfor this vehicle(DOT 4).
Over time, brake fluid absorbsmoisture which will reduce brakingeffectiveness. The brake fluidshould therefore be replaced at thespecified interval.
Brake fluid should be stored in asealed container to avoid waterabsorption.
