Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual: California Fuel Requirements

Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual / Driving and Operating / Fuel / California Fuel Requirements

If the vehicle is certified to meet California Emissions Standards, it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California specifications. See the underhood emission control label. If this fuel is not available in states adopting California Emissions Standards, the vehicle will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal specifications, but emission control system performance might be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp could turn on and the vehicle might fail a smog‐check test.

If this occurs, return to your authorized dealer for diagnosis.
