NOTICE
Use clean fuel only. Contami-
nated fuel may reduce the life
of the fuel delivery system and
the engine.
Fuel containing the octane-
enhancing additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT)
is not recommended.
See your dealer for information
on additives.
Your vehicle was not designed
for fuels that contain methanol.
Methanol can corrode metal
parts in your fuel system and
can also damage plastic and
rubber parts. Damage caused
by the use of fuels that contain
methanol would not be
covered by your warranty.
The engine in your vehicle is
designed to accept unleaded
gasoline only. The use of leaded
gasoline could affect your vehicle's
performance as well as your
vehicle's warranty.
Use of the recommended fuel is
an important part of the proper
maintenance of your vehicle.
You should use a high quality fuel
which meets the minimum octane
rating recommended.
Use gasoline with a posted octane
of 95 (research method) or higher.
A gasoline with posted octane of
91 or higher can also be used, but
the vehicle's acceleration may be
slightly reduced.
