FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use Unleaded Fuel Only.
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane
Number
95 must be used in your
Daewoo vehicle.
Fuel quality has a decisive influence on
the power output, driveability and life of
the engine. The additives contained in the
fuel play an important role in this respect.
You should therefore use only high-quality
fuels containing additives.
Fuels with too Iowan octane number can
cause pre-ignition or detonation. Daewoo
cannot be held liable for the resultant
damage.
Leaded fuel must never be used. It will
cause the catalytic converter to become in-
effective and the emission control system
to malfunction.
This can also result in increased mainte-
nance expense.
To avoid the accidental use of leaded fuel,
the larger nozzle used with leaded fuel at
service stations cannot be inserted into
the fuel tank opening
of your Daewoo
vehicle.
Do not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol)
should not be used in your Daewoo. This
type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance
and damage components of the fuel sys-
tem.

Warranty Policy will not cover damage
to the fuel system and any perform-
