Performance and Maintenance

Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control The Traction Control System (TCS) limits wheel spin. The system turns on automatically every time the vehicle is started.

. Press and release the g button again to turn on both systems.

See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control on page 9-41.

Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).

The low tire pressure warning light alerts to a significant loss in pressure of one of the vehicle's tires. If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-9. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected.

In Brief

1-19

The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This may be an early indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure. The TPMS does not replace normal monthly tire maintenance. Maintain the correct tire pressures. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 10-52.

Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON DIC message when it is necessary to change the engine oil and filter. Remember, the Oil Life display must be reset after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful not to reset the Oil Life display accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed.

It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system press the SET/CLR button while the Oil Life display is active.

Resetting the Oil Life System 1. Using the DIC MENU button and

thumbwheel, scroll until you reach REMAINING OIL LIFE on the DIC (: % for Canada). 2. Press the SET/CLR button to

reset the oil life at 100%. When prompted, use the thumbwheel to highlight YES or NO. Press the SET/CLR button to confirm.

Be careful not to reset the oil life display accidentally at any time other than after the oil is changed. It cannot be reset accurately. See Engine Oil Life System on page 10-15.

Driving for Better Fuel Economy Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here are some driving tips to get the best fuel economy possible. . Avoid fast starts and accelerate

smoothly.

. Brake gradually and avoid

abrupt stops.

. Avoid idling the engine for long

periods of time.

. When road and weather

conditions are appropriate, use cruise control.

. Always follow posted speed

limits or drive more slowly when conditions require.

. Keep vehicle tires properly

inflated.

. Combine several trips into a

single trip.

. Replace the vehicle's tires with

the same TPC Spec number molded into the tire's sidewall near the size. Follow recommended scheduled maintenance.

Diesel Particulate Filter The engine is equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) that, by design, will filter or trap particulates. The DPF is under the vehicle in the exhaust system. Depending on a number of factors monitored by the engine computer, the DPF will need to be cleaned of accumulated solids. When a cleaning is needed, the engine computer will initiate a cleaning action by warming the exhaust gas temperature. This feature has been designed to operate automatically, with limited operator involvement or awareness.

Chevrolet Cruze Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-7707493) - 2015 - crc - 11/24/14

Black plate (21,1)

Cleaning the DPF (Exhaust Filter) While the DPF cleaning is automatically controlled by the engine computer, the vehicle will need to operate continuously for approximately 25 minutes and at speeds greater than 48 km/h (30 mph) to clean the DPF effectively. Special DPF Driver Messages If the vehicle is used for numerous short trips or extended slow-speed operation, the engine computer may not be able to adequately heat up the exhaust system to clean the DPF effectively. The engine computer has been designed to continuously monitor the condition of the DPF. When the engine computer detects that the DPF is nearly full of particulates and that the vehicle is not being operated in a manner that would allow effective automatic DPF cleaning, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message will display.

If the vehicle continues to be driven in a manner that prevents effective DPF cleaning, the DPF will become plugged with particulates. If this occurs, the engine computer will turn on the service engine soon light in the instrument cluster and a DIC message will display. See Diesel Particulate Filter on page 9-26, Engine Power Messages on page 5-29, and Diesel Particulate Filter Messages on page 5-30. Fuel

Use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (ULSD) Use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (ULSD) only. The emission control hardware used on the vehicle may be damaged by using fuel with high sulfur levels. Use only fuel that is dispensed from pumps bearing the ULSD label.

Do Not Use Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (LSD) Do not use fuel that is dispensed from pumps bearing the LSD label.

In Brief

1-21

Do Not Use Non-Highway Fuel Fuel labeled as off road or non-highway is typically very high in sulfur content and will damage the emission control system. Non-highway fuel is not intended for use in on-highway vehicles. In addition: . Use the correct engine oil. . Do not add gasoline to

diesel fuel.

. Do not modify the induction or

exhaust systems.

See Fuel for Diesel Engines on page 9-53 and Engine Oil on page 10-11.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used with diesel engines to reduce the amount of regulated emissions produced. The DEF system must be maintained for the vehicle to run

In Brief

properly. It is normal to hear the DEF system purge fluid back into the tank after the vehicle is shut off.

Locating Diesel Exhaust Fluid DEF can be purchased at a Chevrolet dealer. It can also be purchased at authorized vehicle dealerships. Additionally, some diesel fueling stations or retailers may have DEF for purchase. For vehicles with an active OnStar® subscription, OnStar can help to locate a DEF retailer. See “Customer Assistance Offices” in the owner manual for phone numbers to assist you in contacting a GM dealer. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 11-12. As the DEF tank becomes low on fluid, warnings begin with approximately 1 600 km (1,000 miles) of remaining range. These warnings will increase in intensity as the tank becomes empty. Once the tank is empty, the vehicle speed will be limited. If there

is an issue with the quality of the fluid or the exhaust fluid system, warnings will be displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Diesel Exhaust Fluid on page 9-27.
