•
Fuels can also be harmful if
absorbed through the skin. If fuel
is splashed on the skin, clothing or
both, promptly remove
contaminated clothing and wash
skin thoroughly with soap and
water. Repeated or prolonged skin
contact with fuel liquid or vapor
causes skin irritation.
• Be particularly careful if you are
taking “Antabuse ” or other forms
of disulfiram for the treatment of
alcoholism. Breathing gasoline
vapors, or skin contact could cause
an adverse reaction. In sensitive
individuals, serious personal injury
or sickness may result. If fuel is
splashed on the skin, promptly
wash skin thoroughly with soap
and water. Consult a physician
immediately if you experience an
adverse reaction.
FUEL QUALITY
Note: We recommend that you use
only high quality fuel without additives
or other engine treatments.
Do not use leaded gasoline or gasoline
with additives containing other
metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could
damage the emission system.
Choosing the Right Fuel
Note: Use of any fuel other than those
recommended may cause powertrain
damage, a loss of vehicle performance
and repairs may not be covered under
warranty. If your vehicle is not a flexible fuel
vehicle, then only use unleaded fuel
or unleaded fuel blended with a
maximum of 15% ethanol. Do not use
fuel ethanol (E85), diesel fuel, fuel
methanol, leaded fuel or any other
fuel because it could damage or
impair the emission control system.
The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by
law.
Your vehicle was not designed to use
fuel or fuel additives with metallic
compounds, including
manganese-based additives.
Octane Recommendations
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is
recommended. Some fuel stations
offer fuels posted as regular with an
octane rating below 87, particularly in
high altitude areas. Do not use fuels
that have a posted rating below 87
octane. Premium fuel will provide
improved performance and is
recommended for severe duty usage
such as trailer tow.
Do not be concerned if your engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However,
if it knocks heavily while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane
rating, see your authorized dealer to
prevent any engine damage.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect
on vehicle components.
