Precautions For Fuel

Precautions For Fuel

GASOLINE ENGINE (PREMIUM GASOLINE)
Use premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95 RON (research octane number). If premium unleaded gasoline is not available, regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 RON (research octane number) can be used. However, for maximum vehicle performance, the use of premium unleaded gasoline is recommended.

CAUTION: Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.

GASOLINE ENGINE (REGULAR GASOLINE)
- Three way catalyst equipped models ... use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 RON (research octane number).

CAUTION: Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst.

- Except for these models ... use unleaded or leaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 88 RON (research octane number).

Use unleaded gasoline if instructed on the fuel filler lid.
