Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gas- oline only. It is equipped with a fuel fillertube especially designed to accept only a small diameter unlead
ed gasoline dispensing
nozzle. In the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add detergents to their gas-
oline to minimize fuel-injector fouling and minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system working prop-erly. Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2], or 91 RON. Your vehicle is designed to operate on pre- mium grade unleaded gasoline having a mini- mum octane rating of 93 [(MON+RON)/2] orhigher for optimum performance. In case pre- mium grade unleaded gasoline 93 [(MON+RON)/2] is not available, unleadedgasoline rating of 91 [(MON+RON)/2] can be used. However, the performance level is reduced.In order to maintain exhaust system durabil- ity, premium unleaded gasoline having an
octane rating of at least 91 [(MON+RON)/2] must be used. If the premium grade unleaded gasoline rat- ing of 91 [(MON+RON)/2] or higher is notavailable on journey, etc., regular unleaded gasoline having an octane rating of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] can be used temporarily asan emergency measure. MON: Motor Octane Number RON: Research Octane Number Gasoline sold at some service stations con- tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although the oxygenates may not be identified by those names. Oxygenates are required in someareas of the country. Such fuel can be used in your vehicle. A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco- hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle, provided the octane numberis at least as high as that recommended for unleaded gasoline.

WA R N I N G Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriouslyinjured or killed when handling it. When- ever you refuel your vehicle, stop the engine and keep flames, sparks, andsmoking materials away from the vehicle. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated out- door areas.CAUTION Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will damage the engine, catalytic converter, and the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso-line is illegal, and will void your warranty coverage of the engine, catalytic converter, and oxygen sensors.
