FUEL

Fuel Requirements

NOTICE
Always use fresh gaso-
line. Gasoline will oxidize; the re-
sult is loss of octane, volatile com-
pounds, and the production of gum
and varnish deposits which can
damage the fuel system.
Alcohol fuel blending varies by coun-
try and region. Your vehicle has been
designed to operate using the recom-
mended fuels, however, be aware of
the following:
– Use of fuel containing alcohol above
the percentage specified by gov-
ernment regulations is not recom-
mended and can result in the fol-
lowing problems in the fuel system
components:
• Starting and operating difficul-
ties.
• Deterioration of rubber or plastic
parts.
• Corrosion of metal parts.
• Damage to internal engine parts.
– Inspect frequently for the presence
of fuel leaks or other fuel system
abnormalities if you suspect the
presence of alcohol in gasoline ex-
ceeds the current government reg-
ulations.
– Alcohol blended fuels attract and
hold moisture which may lead to
fuel phase separation and can result
in engine performance problems or
engine damage.
Recommended Fuel
Use common unleaded gasoline with
an AKI (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87, or
an RON octane rating of 92.
NOTICE
Never experiment with
other fuels. Engine or fuel system
damages may occur with the use of
an inadequate fuel.
NOTICE
Do NOT use fuel from fuel
pumps labeled E85.
Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited by
U.S. EPA Regulations.

ing.
2. Do not allow anyone to remain
seated on the vehicle while fuelling.
3. Slowly unscrew fuel tank cap coun-
terclockwise to remove it.
If a differential pressure condi-
tion is noticed (whistling sound
heard when loosening fuel tank
cap) have vehicle inspected and/or
repaired before further operation.
