Notice on fuel quality
Do not use improper fuels. If improper
●
fuels are used, the engine will be dam-
aged.
Do not use leaded gasoline.
●
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to
your vehicle's three-way catalytic con-
verters causing the emission control
system to malfunction.
Do not use gasohol other than the type
●
previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system
damage or vehicle performance prob-

octane number or rating lower than

persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this may lead to engine dam-
age and will void the vehicle warranty.

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can dam-
age your vehicle's paint.
Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability is encountered after
using a different type of fuel (poor hot

etc.), discontinue the use of that type of
fuel.
