Fuel - Chevrolet 2015 Corvette Owner's Manual

When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The RVC system may not work
properly or display a clear image if:
It is dark.
The sun or the beam of
headlamps are shining directly
into the camera lens.
Ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the camera lens.
Clean the lens, rinse it with
water, and wipe it with a soft
cloth.
The back of the vehicle is in an
accident. The position and
mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can
be affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer.

Fuel

Use the recommended fuel for
proper vehicle maintenance.
Use premium unleaded gasoline
with a posted octane rating of 97
RON or higher. Regular unleaded
petrol rated at 95 RON or higher
can be used, but acceleration and
fuel economy will be reduced, and
an audible knocking noise may be
heard. If this occurs, use a petrol
rated at 97 RON or higher as soon
as possible. Otherwise, the engine
could be damaged. If heavy
knocking is heard when using petrol
rated at 97 RON or higher, the
engine needs service.
Use of Seasonal Fuels
Use summer and winter fuels in the
appropriate season. The fuels
industry automatically modifies the
fuel for the appropriate season.
If fuel is left in the vehicle tank for
long periods of time, driving or
starting could be affected. Drive the
Driving and Operating
vehicle until the fuel is at one-half
tank or less, then refuel with the
current seasonal fuel.
Prohibited Fuels
Petrol containing oxygenates such
as ethers and ethanol, as well as
reformulated petrol, is available in
some cities. If these petrols comply
with the previously described
specification, then they are
acceptable to use. However, E85
(85% ethanol) and other fuels
containing more than 15% ethanol
must be used only in FlexFuel
vehicles.
Caution
Do not use fuel containing
methanol. It can corrode metal
parts in the fuel system and also
damage plastic and rubber parts.
That damage would not be
covered under the vehicle
warranty.
