Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gas-
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel filler
tube especially designed to accept only a
small diameter unleaded gasoline dispensing
nozzle.
In the United States, fuel suppliers are
required by law to add detergents to their gas-
oline to minimize fuel-injector fouling and
minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent
gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and
your emission-control system working prop-
erly.
Your vehicle is designed to operate on pre-
mium grade unleaded gasoline having a mini-
mum octane number of 93 [(MON+RON)/2]
or higher for optimum performance. In case
premium grade unleaded gasoline 93
[(MON+RON)/2] is not available, unleaded
gasoline rating of 91 [(MON+RON)/2] can
be used. However, the performance level is
reduced.
In order to maintain exhaust system durabil-
ity, premium unleaded gasoline having an
octane number of at least 91
[(MON+RON)/2] must be used
If the premium grade unleaded gasoline rat-
ing of 91 [(MON+RON)/2] or higher is not
available on journey, etc., regular unleaded
gasoline having an octane number of 87
[(MON+RON)/2] can be used temporarily as
an emergency measure.

Gasoline sold at some service stations con-
tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although
the oxygenates may not be identified by those
names. Oxygenates are required in some
areas of the country. Such fuel can be used in
your vehicle.
A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco-
hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be used
in your vehicle, provided the octane number
is at least as high as that recommended for
unleaded gasoline.
Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con-
taining methanol (wood alcohol). Using this
type of alcohol could adversely affect the
vehicle’s performance and damage critical
parts of the vehicle’s fuel system.

WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned, seriously
injured or killed when handling it. When-
ever you refuel your vehicle, stop the
engine and keep flames, sparks, and
smoking materials away from the vehicle.
Always handle fuel in well-ventilated out-
door areas.
CAUTION
Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will
damage the engine, catalytic converter, and
the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso-
line is illegal, and will void your warranty
coverage of the engine, catalytic converter,
and oxygen sensors.
