Fuel Filling
TYPE OF FUEL
NOTE: An occasional, light, engine knock while
accelerating or climbing hills is acceptable.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ONLY USE UNLEADED FUEL
Octane enhancers
The use of octane enhancers is not
recommended and may invalidate the vehicle
warranty.
•
Unleaded fuel is essential for proper
operation of the emission control
system.
NOTE: Reformulated gasolines and gasolines
that contain detergents, anti-corrosion and
stability additives are recommended - they will
help your vehicle maintain the correct level of
emissions and engine performance.
DO NOT use leaded fuel! Your engine is
designed to use unleaded fuel ONLY.
•
Even a very small quantity of leaded
fuel will damage your vehicle's
emission control system and could
invalidate the emissions warranty. In
addition, leaded fuel will damage the
oxygen sensors in the fuel injection
system and also seriously damage the
catalyst in the catalytic converter.
Driveability
If you encounter driveability, starting and
stalling problems, especially in high ambient
temperatures or at high altitude when the
engine is cold, it may be caused by poor quality
fuel. Try an alternative brand and if the problem
persists, seek advice from your retailer.
Fuel system cleaning agents should be
avoided, as many of these products can
be harmful to gaskets and other materials
used in fuel system components.
Gasoline/oxygenated fuel blends
To avoid invalidating the vehicle warranty, use
ONLY fuels blended within the following limits:
Octane requirements
Premium unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI
octane rating of 90 - 92 should be used.
•
•
•
Up to 15% of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
(MTBE) and unleaded fuel mix.
NOTE: Federal law requires that gasoline octane
ratings be posted on the pumps. The Cost of
Living Council (CLC) octane rating or Anti
Knock Index (AKI) octane rating shown is an
average of Research Octane Number (RON) and
Motor Octane Number (MON).
Up to 15% of Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
(ETBE) and unleaded fuel mix.
Up to 10% of Ethanol (Ethyl or grain
alcohol) and unleaded fuel mix.
Using unleaded fuel with an octane rating lower
than that recommended, can cause persistent,
heavy ‘engine knock’ (a metallic rapping noise).
If severe, this can lead to engine damage.
If heavy engine knock is detected when using
the recommended octane rated fuel, or if steady
engine knocking is present while maintaining a
steady speed on level roads, contact your
retailer for advice.
