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 speci-
fications (the Worldwide Fuel Charter, WWFC)
which define fuel properties necessary to de-
liver enhanced emissions, performance, and
durability for your vehicle. The manufacturer
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, re-
duce emissions, and maintain vehicle perfor-
mance.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling and stumble. If you
experience these problems, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Methanol
(Methyl) is used in a variety of concentrations
when blended with unleaded gasoline. You may
find fuels containing 3% or more methanol
along with other alcohols called cosolvents.
Problems that result from using methanol/
gasoline blends are not the responsibility of the
manufacturer. While MTBE is an oxygenate
made from Methanol, it does not have the
negative effects of Methanol.
CAUTION!
Do not use gasolines containing Methanol.
Use of these blends may result in starting
and drivability problems and may damage
critical fuel system components.
Ethanol
The manufacturer recommends that your ve-
hicle be operated on fuel containing no more
than 10% ethanol. Purchasing your fuel from a
reputable supplier may reduce the risk of ex-
ceeding this 10% limit and/or of receiving fuel
with abnormal properties. It should also be
noted that an increase in fuel consumption
should be expected when using ethanol-
blended fuels, due to the lower energy content
of ethanol. Problems that result from using
methanol/gasoline or E-85 ethanol blends are
not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Use of fuel with Ethanol content higher than
10% may result in engine malfunction, start-
ing and operating difficulties, and materials
degradation. These adverse effects could
result in permanent damage to your vehicle.
Reformulated Gasoline
Many areas of the country require the use of
cleaner burning gasoline referred to as “Reformu-
lated Gasoline.” Reformulated gasoline contain
oxygenates and are specifically blended to re-
duce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
The manufacturer supports the use of reformu-
lated gasoline. Properly blended reformulated
gasoline will provide excellent performance and
durability of engine and fuel system components.
