Airbag System To provide maximum protection, a pregnant woman should wear a seat belt. The airbag system consists of a number of individual systems. She should wear the lap portion of the belt as low as possible throughout her pregnancy. Airbag system When triggered the airbags inflate within milliseconds. They also deflate so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision. { Warning If handled improperly the airbag systems can be triggered in an explosive manner. The driver should sit back as far as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you are sitting too close to the airbag, it can cause death or serious injury when it inflates. For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants including the driver should always (Continued) 3-11 Warning (Continued) wear their seat belts to minimise the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion. The airbag may cause facial or body scratch, injury by broken glasses or getting burnt by explosion while airbag is deployed. Note: The airbag systems and belt tensioner control electronics are located in the central console area. Do not put any magnetic objects in this area.

We recommend the GM child restraint system which is geared specifically to the vehicle. When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following usage and installation instructions and also those supplied with the child restraint system. Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is forbidden on certain seats. 3-17 { Warning NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur. This is especially the case if rear facing child restraint systems are used on the front passenger's seat. Airbag deactivation 0 Airbag On-Off Switch on page 3-16. Selecting the right system Children should travel facing rearwards in the vehicle as long as possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 3-18 Seats and Restraints Children under the age of 12 years that are smaller than 150 cm(5 ft) are only allowed to travel in a restraint system that is suitable for the child. Suitable are restraint systems that comply with ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04. Since a proper position of the belt is rarely possible with a child that is smaller than 150 cm(5 ft), we strongly advise to use an appropriate child restraint system, even though this might due to the age of the child no longer be legally binding. Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct. Check local laws and regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems. A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced. Never carry a child whilst travelling in the vehicle. The child will become too heavy to hold in the event of a collision. Please ensure that infants and children are seated in the rear seats using child restraints. When transporting children, use the child restraint systems suitable for the child's weight. Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type. Allow children to enter and exit the vehicle only on the side facing away from the traffic. When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle. Note: Do not stick anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials. Until the children can use seat belts, please select a child restraint suitable for its age and make sure the child wears it.

If you try to carry something on top of your vehicle that is longer or wider than the roof rack, the wind can catch it as you drive along. This can cause you to lose control. What you are carrying could be torn off violently, and this could cause you or other drivers to have a collision, and of course damage your vehicle. Never carry something longer or wider than the roof rack on top of your vehicle. The maximum load (include roof utility bar's weight) for the roof rack rails is 50 kg in the vehicle. Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. 4-7 Information on Loading the Vehicle . Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placed against the seat backrests. Ensure that the backrests are securely engaged. If objects can be stacked, heavier objects should be placed at the bottom. . Secure objects in load compartment to prevent sliding. . When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests of the rear seats must not be angled forward. . Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the backrests. . Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel. Remove the roof utility bar or luggage, in the auto car washing facility, in case of there are roof utility bar or luggage on the roof rack. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 4-8 Storage . The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking brake and gear selector lever, or hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior. . Do not drive with an open load compartment. . The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate0 Identification Plate on page 12-1) and the kerb weight. For the kerb weight in detail, refer to the technical data section. The kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank 90 % full). Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight. . Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle's higher centre of gravity. Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently.

Release the parking brake and the brake pedal. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 Black plate (5,1) Driving and Operating 3. Slowly press the accelerator pedal to set the vehicle in motion. Selector Lever D: This drive position is for all normal driving conditions. Allows the transmission to shift into all four forward gears. Fourth gear is overdrive which reduces engine speed and noise level while increasing fuel economy. 2: Allows the transmission to shift from 1st to 2nd gear and prevents automatic shifting into 3rd or 4th gear. Select drive range 2 for more power when climbing hills and for engine braking when driving down steep hills. 1: This position locks the transmission in first gear. P (PARK): Locks the front wheels. Select P only when the vehicle is stationary and the parking brake is applied. R (REVERSE): Select R only when the vehicle is stationary. N (NEUTRAL): Neutral gear position. Select 1 for maximum engine braking when driving down severe gradients. { Caution Do not accelerate while engaging a gear. (Continued) 9-5 Caution (Continued) Never depress the accelerator pedal and brake pedal at the same time. When a gear is engaged, the vehicle slowly begins to creep when the brake is released. Do not use the P (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Turn off the engine, apply the parking brake, and remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running. Shifting between gear positions Movement between certain gear positions requires pressing the release button on the side of the selector lever. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 9-6 Black plate (6,1) Driving and Operating Follow the descriptions as indicated by the arrows when shifting the selector lever.

Use the foot brake. Shift freely. { Warning To help prevent damage to the transmission, observe the following precautions: Do not press the accelerator pedal while shifting from P or N to R, D, 2 or 1. To do so may not only damage the transmission, but could cause you to lose control of the vehicle. Press the brake pedal when shifting from P or N to R or a forward gear. Otherwise transmission could be damaged or vehicle could move unexpectedly, causing driver to lose control of the vehicle, resulting in personal injury or damage to the vehicle or other property. Use D as much as possible. Engine braking Never shift to P or R while the vehicle is in motion. (Continued) To help use the braking effect of engine compression when driving on a long downhill: For automatic transmission, select the drive range "2" or "1" if necessary. 9-7 Engine braking is the most effective in drive range "1". If drive range "1" is selected at too high speed, the transmission remains in current gear until the vehicle slows down. Select drive range "2" for ordinary engine braking effect. For even greater slowing ability, select "1". Note: Use of engine compression during long mountainous descents may prolong the life of your brakes. Rocking the vehicle Rocking the vehicle is only permissible if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud or snow. Move the gear lever between D and R in a repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration. Parking After stopping the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal, engage P and pull the lever up firmly and then remove ignition key. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 9-8 Black plate (8,1) Driving and Operating Kickdown Overdrive off Fault In the event of a fault, the malfunction indicator light or automatic transmission warning light illuminates. The transmission no longer shifts automatically nor manually because it is locked in a certain gear. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. For faster acceleration press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold. The transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on the engine speed. The fourth gear of your automatic transmission is an overdrive. To cancel the overdrive function, press the overdrive button, and the O/ D OFF indicator in the warning tell-tale box will be ON. The O/D OFF function can be used when undesirable shifting to fourth gear happens such as on a long uphill gradient. Note: In normal driving conditions, drive with the overdrive function activated for fuel economy. Interruption of Power Supply In the event of an interruption of power supply, the gear lever cannot be moved out of the P position. If the battery is discharged, start the vehicle using jump leads. If the battery is not the cause of the fault, release gear lever and remove ignition key from ignition lock. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 Black plate (9,1) Driving and Operating Release gear lever 9-9 Manual Gearbox Your vehicle has a BrakeTransmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system. Before shifting from park (P), the ignition must be ON and you must depress the brake pedal all the way down. If you cannot shift out of P with the ignition ON and the brake pedal depressed: 1. Turn the ignition off 2. Depress and hold the brake pedal and pull the handbrake up. 4. Insert a screwdriver into the opening as far as it will go and move the selector lever out of P. Start the engine and shift into the gear you want. If P is engaged again, the selector lever will be locked in position again. 5. Close cover. 6. Have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. 3. Open cover. If the gear does not engage, set the lever in neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection. Do not ride the clutch unnecessarily. When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot rest. { Caution It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 9-10 Black plate (10,1) Driving and Operating Engine braking Brakes For manual gearbox, downshift to a lower gear in a sequential order. The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits. { Warning Do not downshift your manual gearbox by two or more gear positions at a time. This prevents damage to your transmission or loss of control and personal injuries. Note: Use of engine compression during long mountainous descents may prolong the life of your brakes. Caution (Continued) If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, braking effect is achieved only when the brake pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more force is needed for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing your journey. { Caution If one of the circuits fails, the brake pedal must be pressed with greater pressure and the braking distance may be increased. Have the brake system checked and repaired by a workshop immediately. We recommend that you consult your authorised workshop. (Continued) If the brake pedal can be pressed further than normal, the brakes may be in need of repair. Consult a workshop immediately. We recommend that you consult your authorised workshop. { Caution Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. To do so will accelerate wear of the brake components. The brakes may also become overheated, resulting in longer braking distance and an unsafe condition. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 Black plate (11,1) Driving and Operating { Warning Warning (Continued) After driving through deep water, washing the vehicle, or using the brakes excessively when going down a steep hill, the brakes can temporarily lose their stopping power. This may be due to wet brake components or overheating. 2. Keep a safe forward speed with plenty of space to your rear and sides. If your brakes temporarily lose their stopping power because of overheating: Shift to a lower gear when going down hills. Do not continuously apply the brakes. If your brakes temporarily lose their power because of wet brake components, the following procedure will help restore their normal performance: 1. Check behind you for other vehicles. (Continued) 3. Gently apply the brakes until normal performance is restored. Antilock Brake System (ABS) Anti-lock brake system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking. ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even during hard braking. ABS control is made apparent through a pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of the regulation process. For optimum braking, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, 9-11 despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal. Do not decrease your power when pressing the brake pedal. When you start the vehicle after the ignition is switched on, a mechanical sound can be heard once. This is normal and shows that the ABS is ready to operate. Control indicator ! 0 Antilock Brake System (ABS) on page 9-11. Fault { Warning If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may be liable to lock due to braking that is heavier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may swerve. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 9-12 Black plate (12,1) Driving and Operating Brake Assist Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. If the brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied (full braking). Parking Brake Maintain continuous pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released. Always apply parking brake firmly without operating the release button, and apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slope. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the release button and fully lower the lever. To reduce the operating forces of the parking brake, depress the foot brake at the same time. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 Black plate (13,1) Driving and Operating Ride Control Systems Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Electronic Stability Control (ESC) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the driving wheels from spinning. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), the engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces. ESC is operational as soon as the control indicator d extinguishes. When ESC is active d flashes. { Warning Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions. Control indicator d 0 Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light on page 5-18 Deactivation 9-13 For very high-performance driving ESC can be deactivated by pressing the a button. Control indicator g illuminates. ESC is reactivated by pressing the g button again. ESC is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on. When the ESC system is actively improving the stability of the vehicle, reduce speed and pay extra attention to the road condition. The ESC system is only a supplementary device for the vehicle. When the vehicle exceeds its physical limits, it can no longer be controlled. Therefore do not rely on this system. Keep driving safely. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 9-14 Black plate (14,1) Driving and Operating Object Detection Systems This system is deactivated when the vehicle's speed is greater than approximately 5 km/h (3 mph). Parking Assist If the alarm sounds when shifting the gear to R position, this indicates normal condition. At this time, you can figure out the distance between your vehicle and obstacles with the alarming sound. However, do not confuse with the sound that continues when the obstacles are within 40 cm (16 inches). { Caution The parking assist system assists the driver during backward movement of the vehicle by chiming if any object is sensed behind the vehicle. This system can be turned on automatically whenever the ignition switch is ON and the transaxle's selector lever is in R. If the following happens, this indicates that there is a malfunction in the parking assist system. The alarm sounds 3 times continuously when there are no obstacles around the rear bumper. Consult a workshop as soon as possible. We recommend your authorised workshop.

The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. Each tyre, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended the inflation pressure label. As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with the low tyre pressure tell-tale 7. The low tyre press tell-tale 7 illuminates when one or more of your tyres are significantly under-inflated. When the low tyre press tell-tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. { Caution Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Note: The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure tell-tale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with the TPMS malfunction indicator 7 to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the TPMS malfunction indicator 7 will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the TPMS malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. Note: TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/8/14 Black plate (33,1) Vehicle Care Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation This vehicle may have a Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when a low tyre pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted onto each tyre and wheel assembly, excluding the spare tyre and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tyres and transmit the tyre pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. When a low tyre pressure condition is detected, the TPMS illuminates the low tyre pressure tell-tale located on the instrument cluster. If the low tyre pressure tell-tale is illuminated, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the recommended by the inflation pressure label. The low tyre pressure tell-tale comes on at each ignition cycle until the tyres are inflated to the correct inflation pressure. The low tyre pressure tell-tale may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This could be an early indicator that the air pressure is getting low and must be inflated to the proper pressure. Note: The low tyre pressure tell-tale may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This could be an early indicator that the air pressure is getting low and must be inflated to the proper pressure. 10-33 { Caution Tyre sealant materials are not all the same. A non-approved tyre sealant could damage the TPMS sensors. TPMS sensor damage caused by using an incorrect tyre sealant is not covered by the vehicle warranty. Always use only the GM-approved tyre sealant available through your dealer or included in the vehicle. TPMS Malfunction Indicator The TPMS will not function properly if one or more of the TPMS sensors are missing or inoperable. When the system detects a malfunction, the TPMS malfunction indicator flashes for about one minute and then stays on for the remainder of the ignition cycle. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/8/14 10-34 Vehicle Care The TPMS malfunction indicator comes on at each ignition cycle until the problem is corrected.

Some slight pull to the left or right, depending on the crown of the road and/or other road surface variations such as troughs or ruts, is normal. So, consider requesting an alignment check only if the vehicle is significantly pulling to one side or the other, or if you notice unusual tyre wear. If the vehicle is vibrating when driving on a smooth road, the tyres and wheels may need to be rebalanced. The tyres and wheels were aligned and balanced at the factory to provide the longest tyre life and best overall performance. Adjustments to wheel alignment and tyre balancing are not necessary on a regular basis. See your Chevrolet authorised repairer for proper diagnosis. Your vehicle's suspension and steering systems need some time to settle from the shipping process, If you mix tyres of different sizes, brands, or types (radial and bias-belted tyres), the vehicle may Wheel Replacement Mixing tyres could cause you to lose control while driving. 10-39 not handle properly, and you could have a crash. Using tyres of different sizes, brands, or types may also cause damage to your vehicle. Be sure to use the correct size, brand, and type of tyres on all wheels. Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 0 Tyre Repair Kit on page 10-43. Make the following preparations and observe the following information: . Pull your vehicle over to a safe place away from traffic. . Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-skid surface. The front wheels must be in the straight-ahead position. .

Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has a degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using de-icing agent, have the locks re-greased by a workshop. Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences. Wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle washes, select a programme that includes waxing. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage. If using a vehicle wash, comply with the vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions. The windscreen wipers and rear window wiper must be switched off. Lock the vehicle so that the fuel filler flap cannot be opened. Remove antenna and external accessories such as roof racks etc. If you wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wheel housings are also thoroughly rinsed out. Clean edges and folds on opened doors and the bonnet as well as the areas they cover. Have the door hinges of all doors greased by a workshop. Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner. Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted 10-53 and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision. Do not use hard objects to remove spots of tar. Use tar removal spray on painted surfaces. Decal applied vehicle Please do not wash the car for 72 hours from delivery to ensure adequate adhesion of decal. When cleaning with high pressure water or a steam wand car wash, please make sure to keep a distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) and not to focus on one point for more than 1 second. Otherwise, the decal could be damaged. Exterior lights Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them when dry. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/8/14 10-54 Black plate (54,1) Vehicle Care When removing insect debris, grease dirt or tar from the lights or lenses, only use lukewarm water, a soft cloth and a car washing soap. Hard cleaning with a dry cloth can damage the light covers. Do not clean with intensive car washing fluid. Avoid using hazardous cleaners. It can cause the lens to crack by a chemical reaction. Note: Refer to a car washing guide and only use mild detergents to avoid damage to the headlight lens. Never use cleaning fluids which contain any of the following: . Acetone . Benzene . Toluene . Xylene . Thinners Polishing and waxing Wax the vehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer beads). Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out. Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protective film, making waxing unnecessary. Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents. Windows and windscreen wiper blades Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleaner and insect remover. When cleaning the rear window, make sure the heating element inside is not damaged. For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass. Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and window cleaner. Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners. Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner. Rims are painted and can be treated with the same agents as the body. Paintwork damage Rectify minor paintwork damage with a touch-up pen before rust forms. Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/8/14 Black plate (55,1) Vehicle Care Special package and body kit .

Use of substitute engine oils if dexos is unavailable: In the event that dexos approved engine oil is not available at an oil change or for maintaining proper oil level, you may use substitute engine oil of the qualities mentioned below. Use of oils that do not meet the dexos specification, however, may result in reduced performance and engine damage under certain circumstances. Engine oil is identified by its quality and its viscosity. Quality is more important than viscosity when selecting which engine oil to use. Engine oil quality . dexos1, dexos2 . API SM, ACEA-A3/B3: Optional for Gen1 engine (not used for Gen2 engine) Specification Use and ask for licensed engine oils with the dexos™ approved certification mark. Engine oils meeting the requirements for the vehicle should have the dexos™ approved certification mark. This certification mark indicates that the oil has been approved to the dexos™ specification. Your vehicle's engine was filled at the factory with dexos™ approved engine oil. Use only engine oil that is approved to the dexos™ specification or an equivalent engine oil of the appropriate viscosity grade. Use of oils that do not meet the dexos specification, however, may result in reduced performance and engine damage under certain circumstances. If you are unsure whether your oil is approved to the dexos™ specification, ask your service provider. If you don't know vehicle engine type, ask your authorised repairer. Engine oil viscosity The SAE viscosity grade gives information of the thickness of the oil. Multigrade oil is indicated by two figures: The first figure, followed by a W, indicates low temperature viscosity and the second figure the high temperature viscosity. The SAE viscosity rating defines the ability of an oil to flow. When cold, oil is more viscous than when hot. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 Black plate (9,1) Service and Maintenance Engine oil viscosity grade for 1.0D, 1.2D Gen1 SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for your vehicle. Do not use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 20W-50.Cold temperature operation for 1.0D, 1.2D Gen1 grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate viscosity grade be sure to always select an oil that meets the dexos™ specification. . Down to -25 °C and below: 0W-30, 0W-40 . Down to -25°C and below: 0W-20, 0W-30. . Down to -25 °C: 5W-30, 5W-40 . Down to -25°C: 5W-20, 5W-30. . Down to -20 °C: 10W-30, 10W-40 Engine oil additives/engine oil flushes Engine oil viscosity grade for 1.2D Gen2 SAE 5W-20 is the best viscosity grade for your vehicle. Do not use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40 or 20W-50. Cold temperature operation for 1.2D Gen2 If operating your vehicle in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -25°C, a viscosity grade SAE 0W-xx should be used. An oil of this viscosity Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended oils with the dexos specification and displaying the dexos certification mark are all that is needed for good performance and engine protection. Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and could cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. 11-9 Topping up engine oil Engine oils of different manufacturers and brands can be mixed as long as they comply with the required engine oil (specification and viscosity). If engine oil of the required quality is not available, a maximum of 1 Litre of API SM/SN, ACEA A3/B4, ACEA A3/B3 or ACEA C3 quality may be used (only once between each oil change). The viscosity should be of the correct rating. Use of engine oil with only ACEA A1/B1 or only ACEA A5/B5 quality is prohibited, as it can cause long term engine damage under certain operating conditions. Coolant and antifreeze Use only organic acid type-long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze. In countries with moderate climate the coolant provides freeze protection down to approx. -35 °C. Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 11-10 Service and Maintenance In countries with cold climate the coolant provides freeze protection down to approx. -50 °C. This concentration should be maintained all year round. Maintain a sufficient concentration of anti-freeze. Coolant additives intended to give additional corrosion protection or seal against minor leaks can cause function problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of coolant additives will be rejected. Brake fluid Only use our authorised brake fluid for this vehicle (DOT 4). Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture which will reduce braking effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval. Brake fluid should be stored in a sealed container to avoid water absorption. Ensure brake fluid does not become contaminated. { Caution Using low quality brake fluid may cause corrosion to internal components of the brake system, which may result in decreased brake system performance, which is a safety concern. Always use high quality brake fluid approved for your vehicle model. We recommend GM genuine brake fluid. Power steering fluid Only use Dexron VI fluid. Manual gearbox fluid Only use XGP SAE75W85W fluid. Automatic transmission fluid Only use ESSO JWS3317 fluid.

In general, this technical information documents the condition of parts, modules, systems or the environment: . Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels) . Status messages of the vehicle and its single components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions / rotational speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration) . Dysfunctions and defects in important system components . Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system) . Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) This data is exclusively technical and helps identify and correct errors as well as optimise vehicle functions. Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data. If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network (manufacturer included) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules applying special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information at these workshops. After an error has been corrected, the data is deleted from the error storage module or constantly overwritten. When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information (accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an expert. Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre pressure monitoring and ignition system security. It is also used in connection with conveniences such as radio remote controls for door locking/unlocking and starting, and Chevrolet Spark Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-GME-8534290) - 2015 crc - 7/2/14 Black plate (3,1) Customer Information in-vehicle transmitters for garage door openers.
