Your vehicle is designed to maximize
its driving performance as well as to
minimize exhaust emissions and
spark plug fouling, when being refu-
eled with UNLEADED FUEL.
Your vehicle is designed to use only
the unleaded fuel having a Pump
Octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87
(Research Octane Number 91) or
higher.
To further improve your vehicle per-
formance, premium unleaded fuel
having a Pump Octane number
((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research Octane
Number 96) or higher is recommend-
ed. (Do not use methanol blended
fuels.)Gasoline containing alcohol andmethanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol), is on sale along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol, of which the
ethanol percentage is 10% or more.
Also, do not use gasoline or gasohol
containing any methanol. Either of
these fuels may cause drivability
problems, including hard starting,
rough running before the engine
warm-up, illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Light and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine con-
trol system and emission control sys-
tem.
Stop using gasohol of any kind, if a
drivability problem occurs.
The manufacturer's warranty does
not cover vehicle damage or a dri-
vability problem, which is caused by
one of the followings:
1. Gasohol, of which the ethanol per-
centage is 10% or more
2. Gasoline or gasohol, containing methanol
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol

Front seat adjustment
The front seat position can be adjust-
ed by pressing the control switches
on the doors. Before driving, adjust
the seat position, as desired, so as to
easily control the steering wheel,
pedals and instrument-panel but-
tons.
The power seat is operated byelectric motors. Pause the motor
operation after each seat-position
adjustment. Excessive motor
operation may damage the elec-
tric equipment.
The operation of a power seat consumes a large amount of elec-
tric power. To prevent unneces-
sary battery drain, when the
engine is turned OFF, do not
adjust the power seat longer than
necessary.
Do not press two power seat con- trol switches or more at the same
time. Doing so may fail the electric
motor or components.
NOTICE
2-4
Safety system of your vehicle
Do not adjust the seat while fastening a seat belt. Moving
the seat cushion forward may
apply strong pressure on the
abdomen.
While adjusting the seat posi- tion, use extreme caution not
to caught hands or other
objects inside the seat com-
ponents.
Do not leave a cigarette lighter on the floor mat or
seat. The operation of seat
adjustment may leak gas out
of the lighter and cause a fire.
Use extreme caution when picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between
the seat and the center con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seat mechanism.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat position,
while fastening a seat belt.
Moving the seat cushion forward
may apply strong pressure on the
abdomen.
CAUTION
The power seat is operable,
even when the ignition is OFF.
Therefore, children should
never be left unattended in the
vehicle.
