Driving in Foreign Countries

If you are planning to take your
Acura outside the U.S., contact the
tourist bureaus in the areas you will
be traveling in to find out about the
availability of unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating.
If unleaded gasoline is not available,
be aware that using leaded gasoline
in your Acura will affect perfor-
mance and fuel mileage, and damage
its emissions controls. It will no
longer comply with U.S. and
Canadian emissions regulations, and
will be illegal to operate in North
America. To bring your vehicle back
into compliance will require the re-
placement of several components,
such as the oxygen sensors and the
three way catalytic converter. These
replacements are not covered under
warranty.
