General Information

Transmitter and receivers operate on a carrier
frequency of 433.92 MHz as required by EEC
regulations. These devices must be certified to
conform to specific regulations in each indi-
vidual country. Two sets of regulations are
involved: ETS (European Telecommunication
Standard) 300–220, which most countries use,
and German BZT federal regulation 225Z125,
which is based on ETC 300–220 but has addi-
tional unique requirements. Other defined re-
quirements are noted in ANNEX VI of COMMIS-
SION DIRECTIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is
subject to the following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence.
240
• This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE

3.6L Engine

These engines are designed to meet all emis-
sions regulations and provide excellent fuel
economy and performance when using high-
quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum re-
search octane rating of 91. The use of premium
gasoline is not recommended, as it will not
provide any benefit over regular gasoline in
these engines.
5.7L Engine
Theses engines are designed to meet all emis-
sions regulations and provide satisfactory fuel
economy and performance when using high-
quality unleaded gasoline having an octane
range of 91 to 95. The manufacturer recom-
mends the use of 95 octane for optimum per-
formance. The use of premium gasoline is not
recommended, as it will not provide any benefit
over regular gasoline in these engines.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience 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 Worldwide Fuel Charter,
WWFC) which define fuel properties necessary
to deliver enhanced emissions, performance,
and durability for your vehicle. The manufac-
turer recommends the use of gasoline that
meets the WWFC specifications if they are
available.
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain
detergents, corrosion and stability additives
are recommended. Using gasolines that have
these additives may help improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions, and maintain ve-
hicle performance.
