trolled environment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Sup-

Fuel selection

Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gas-
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tank
filler pipe specifically designed to accept only
a small diameter unleaded gasoline dispens-
ing nozzle.
WARNING
 Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned, seriously
injured or killed when handling it. When-

materials away from the vehicle. Always
handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor

used in your vehicle.
Ethanol (Gasohol)
A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco-
hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be used

is at least as high as that recommended for
unleaded gasoline.
