as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you experi-
ence these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.
Over 40 auto manufacturers worldwide have issued and
endorsed consistent gasoline specifications (the World-
wide Fuel Charter, WWFC) which define fuel properties
necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, performance,
and durability for your vehicle. The manufacturer recom-
mends the use of gasolines that meet the WWFC speci-
fications if they are available.

Reformulated Gasoline

Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner
burning gasoline referred to as "Reformulated Gasoline."
Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates and are spe-
cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im-
prove air quality.
The manufacturer supports the use of reformulated gaso-
lines. Properly blended reformulated gasolines will pro-
vide excellent performance and durability of engine and
fuel system components.

Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends

Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxygen-
ates such as Ethanol. Fuels blended with oxygenates may be
used in your vehicle.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use gasoline containing Methanol or gasoline
containing more than 10% Ethanol. Use of these blends
may result in starting and driveability problems, dam-
age critical fuel system components, cause emissions to
exceed the applicable standard, and/or cause the "Mal-
function Indicator Light" to illuminate. Pump labels
should clearly communicate if a fuel contains greater
than 10% Ethanol.
