FUEL REQUIREMENTS

91-octane fuel is recommended. If 91-octane fuel is not available, fuel as low as
87-octane can be used temporarily for emergency purposes. Use of fuel lower
than 91-octane can decrease performance, cause knocking/engine noise
and can deteriorate shift quality. Refueling the vehicle with correct octane
fuel a couple of times will restore vehicle performance and shift quality.
Behind Seat Storage (Soft top only)
Move seatbacks forward to access the
seat back trim storage boxes.
