FILLING THE TANK

Caution
If you use inappropriate grade fuel or
put incorrect fuel additives into the
fuel tank, the engine and catalytic
converter may seriously be damaged.
Be sure to use the correct fuel
corresponding to your vehicle when
refueling. If you fill petrol in your
diesel powered vehicle, your vehicle
can be seriously damaged. If your
vehicle has diesel engine, you can
confirm the correct fuel by taking a
look at information on the fuel filler
cap.
For safety reasons, fuel containers,
pumps and hoses must be properly
earthed. Static electricity build up can
ignite the fuel vapor. You can be burnt
and your vehicle can be damaged.
Danger
Before refueling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers. Switch off
any mobile phone.
Vaporised fuel can be ignited by
electromagnetic waves or electric
current of mobile phone.
Fuel is flammable and explosive. No
smoking. No naked flames or sparks.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refueling.
Remove static electricity on your
hands by touching something able to
release static electricity when touching
or opening fuel cap or refueling
nozzle.
Don't do any action making static
electricity like getting on and off
vehicle when refueling. Vaporised
fuel can be ignited by static electricity.
Danger
If you can smell fuel in your vehicle,
have the cause of this remedied
immediately by a CHEVROLET
retailer.
The fuel filler door is in the left rear side
of vehicle.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Unlock the door by pressing the
door lock switch on the driver's
door trim pad.
