Notice on gasoline quality
●
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic convert-
ers causing the emission control system to malfunction.
●
Do not use gasohol other than that stated here.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.
●
Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 91 may result in engine
knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage and should be cor-
rected by refueling with higher octane unleaded gasoline.
■
Fuel-related poor driveability
If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor hot start-
ing, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type of fuel.
■
When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle's paint.
