Fuel selection
N00301000752
Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gasoline only. It is
equipped with a fuel filler tube especially designed to accept
only a small diameter unleaded gasoline dispensing nozzle.
Gasoline detergent additives
In the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add
detergents to their gasoline to minimize fuel-injector fouling
and minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent gasoline helps
keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system
working properly.
Octane requirement
Except for RALLIART
Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline hav-
ing a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2], or 91
RON.
RALLIART
Your vehicle is designed to operate on premium grade
unleaded gasoline having a minimum 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 number of 91 [(MON+RON)/2]
can be used. However, the performance level is reduced.
In order to maintain exhaust system durability, premium
unleaded gasoline having an octane number of at least 91
[(MON+RON)/2] must be used.
If the premium grade unleaded gasoline number 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.
MON: Motor Octane Number
RON: Research Octane Number
Oxygenated gasoline
Gasoline sold at some service stations contains oxygenates
such as ethanol and MTBE, 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.
WARNING
!
● Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned, seriously injured or killed when
handling it. Whenever you refuel your vehicle, stop
the engine and keep flames, sparks, and smoking
materials away from the vehicle. Always handle fuel
in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
CAUTION
!
● Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will damage
the engine, catalytic converter, and the oxygen sen-
sors. Also, using leaded gasoline is illegal, and will
void your warranty coverage of the engine, catalytic
converter, and oxygen sensors.
