1-1FUEL RECOMMENDATION
75RM4-01E
Fuel recommendationGasoline engine
75RM304
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter,
you must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or
95 or higher if it is stated on the fuel filler
lid), which comply with the European stan-
dard EN228. These vehicles are also iden-
tified by a label attached near the fuel filler
pipe that states: “UNLEADED FUEL
ONLY”, “NUR UNVERBLEITES BENZIN”,
“ENDAST BLYFRI BENSIN” or “SOLO
GASOLINA SIN PLOMO”.
If a “RON 95” label is attached, you must
use unleaded gasoline with an octane
number (RON) of 95 or higher. Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in certain areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your
vehicle if they are no more than 10% etha-
nol ( ). Check that this gasoline-ethanol
blend has octane ratings no lower than
those recommended for the gasoline.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded gasoline contain-
ing no alcohol.
Gasoline containing MTBE
(where legally available)
Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl
ether) may be used in
your vehicle if the MTBE content is not
greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel
does not contain alcohol.
NOTE:
• For the fuel recommendation of Chile andPanama models, refer to “For Chile and
Panama” in the “SUPPLEMENT” section.
• For the fuel recommendation of Mexico models, refer to “For Mexico” in the
“SUPPLEMENT” section.
• For the fuel recommendation of Argen- tina models, refer to “For Argentina” in

NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space to allow
for fuel expansion in hot weather. If
you continue to add fuel after the filler
nozzle has automatically shut off or
an initial blowback occurs, the air
chamber will become full. Exposure
to heat when fully fuelled in this man-
ner will result in leakage due to fuel
expansion. To prevent such fuel leak-
age, stop filling after the filler nozzle
has automatically shut off, or when
initial vent blowback occurs, if using
an alternative non-automatic system.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up
immediately. Fuels containing alco-
hol can cause paint damage, which is
not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

operating any of the switches (2), (3), (4)
or (5). To restore normal operation, release
the lock switch by pushing it again.
NOTE:
If you drive with one of the rear windows
open, you may hear a loud sound caused
by air vibration. To reduce the sound, open
the driver’s or front passenger’s window, or
narrow the rear window opening.
Pinching prevention function (if equipped)If the driver’s window has the AUTO-UP
feature, the driver’s window is also
equipped with the pinching prevention
function. This function detects a foreign
object that is caught in the window as it is
being closed by AUTO-UP feature, which
allows you to close the window without
holding the window switch in UP position,
and stops the window from closing to pre-
vent damage. NOTE:
Even if you cannot close the window by the
AUTO-UP feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in UP position.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window
reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa-
tion
When you disconnect and reconnect the
lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the
function will be deactivated. In this condi-
tion, the AUTO-DOWN feature will be
deactivated, while the AUTO-UP feature
may remain activated. The pinching pre-
vention function needs to be initialized.
WA R N I N G
• You should always lock the pas-
senger’s window operation when
there are children in the vehicle.
Children can be seriously injured if
they get part of their body caught
by the window during operation.
• To avoid injuring an occupant by window entrapment, check that no
part of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric windows when closing
them.
• Always remove the ignition key or
take the keyless push start system
remote controller with you when
leaving the vehicle even only for a
short time. Also do not leave chil-
dren alone in a parked vehicle.
Unattended children could use the
electric window switches and get
trapped by the window.
WA R N I N G
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, check that no part
of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric window when closing it.
This function may not detect an
object due to the size, hardness, or
position of the object being caught in
the closing window.
CAUTION
• The pinching prevention functiondoes not operate while you are
holding the window switch in UP
position.
• The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in
the window just before the window
is fully closed.
