When the system does not seem
to work properly
The RVC system might not work
properly or display a clear image if:
The RVC is turned off.
It is dark.
The sun or the beam of
headlamps is 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.
There are extreme temperature
changes.
Fuel

Fuel Additives

Petrol should contain detergent
additives that help prevent engine
and fuel system deposits from
forming. Clean fuel injectors and
intake valves will allow the emission
control system to work properly.
Some petrol does not contain
sufficient quantities of additive to
keep fuel injectors and intake valves
clean. To make up for this lack of
detergent, it is recommended that
GM Fuel System Treatment
PLUS(ACDelco part No. 88861013)
be added to the fuel tank at every
engine oil change or every
15,000 km, whichever occurs first.
Petrols containing oxygenates, such
as ethers and ethanol, may be
available 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 that
were not designed for those fuels.
Driving and Operating
This vehicle was not
designed for fuel that contains
methanol. 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.
Some petrols can contain an
octane-enhancing additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT); ask the attendant
where you buy petrol whether the
fuel contains MMT. We recommend
against the use of such petrols.
Fuels containing MMT can reduce
spark plug life and affect emission
control system performance. The
malfunction indicator lamp might
turn on. If this occurs, return to your
dealer for service.
