DRIVING
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that
help prevent fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to
maintain good performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we
strongly recommend the use of gasoline that does NOT contain harmful
manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT, if such gasoline is
available.

button on the driver's door . The
fuel fill door opens.

the lower part of the filler opening,

before removing the filler nozzle.
