octane rating of 87 for optimum performance. The use of gasoline with lower octane
ratings may degrade performance.

latch pillar on the driver’s side. Please check your tire pressure during routine maintenance
and seasonal changes and when the Tire Pressure Monitoring System warning indicator (ifequipped)is illuminated.

and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control. See “Additional Features”
on reverse side for more information.
