If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission
Standards (indicated
on
the underhood tune-up label), it
is
designed to operate on fuels that meet California
specifications. If such fuels are not available in states
adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle
will
operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal
specifications, but emission control system performance
may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp on
your instrument panel may turn on and/or your vehicle
may fail a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to your
authorized Geo dealer for diagnosis to determine the
cause
of
failure.
In
the event it is determined that the
cause
of
the condition is the type
of
fuels used, repairs
may not be covered by your warranty.
In
Canada, some gasolines contain an octane-enhancing
additive called
MMT.
If
you use such fuels, your
emission control system performance may deteriorate
and the malfunction indicator lamp
on
your instrument
panel may turn
on.
If
this happens, return to your
authorized Chevrolet/Geo dealer for service.
To
provide cleaner air, all gasolines
are
now required to
contain additives that will help prevent deposits
from
forming in your engine and fuel system, allowing your
emission control system
to
function properly. Therefore,
you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
In
addition, gasolines containing oxygenates, such as ethers
and ethanol, and reformulated gasolines may be available
in your area to help clean the air. General Motors
recommends that you use these gasolines
if
they comply
with the specifications described earlier.

be covered under your warranty.
