Choosin g the Righ t Fuel
Use only UN LEADED FUEL in you r vehicle.
Using lead ed fuel is prohibited by federal law .
Your warranty may not ap ply if you r vehicle is
dam aged becau se you used the wrong fuel.
Vehicle insp ection program s may detect
misfueling. Und er these circu mstances, you may
be requ ired by law to make costly rep airs at
you r ow n exp ense.
Octan e Recom mendation s
Your vehicle is designed to use regu lar fuel with
an octane rating of 87. In most cases it is not
necessary to use a fuel with an octane rating
higher than 87. At service stations, the octane
rating is displayed in a label on the pumps.
In som e parts of the cou ntry, “regu lar” grad e
fuels are sold with octane ratings of 86 or even
less, esp ecially in high altitu de areas. We
recom mend that you do not use these fuels.
Alw ays use a fuel with an octane rating of 87,
even if it is sold as a “m idgrad e” or “p rem ium.”
Do not be concerned if you r vehicle som etim es
knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or when
you accelerate. How ever, if a fuel with the
recom mend ed rating knocks heavily und er all
driving cond itions or knocks lightly driving at
cru ising speed on level road s, see you r dealer or
a qu alified service technician. Persistent, heavy
knocking can dam age the engine.
