Fuel specifications

Never used leaded gasoline; it will perma-

nently damage the catalytic converter.

Do not use E85, i.e. fuel that consists of 85%

ethanol, or Flex Fuel. Otherwise permanent

damage to the engine and the fuel supply sys-

tem will result.<

Required fuel

Super Premium Gasoline/AKI 93

Always use this premium grade fuel to obtain

maximum fuel economy and performance.

The minimum approved fuel grade is AKI 91.

Do not use gasoline below the specified

minimum quality, otherwise engine dam-

age can result.<

Use high-quality brands

Field experience has demonstrated significant

differences in fuel quality: volatility, composi-

tion, additives, etc., among gasolines offered for

sale in the United States and Canada. Fuels

containing up to and including 10% ethanol or

other oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by

weight, that is, 15% MTBE or 3% methanol

plus an equivalent amount of cosolvent, will not

void the applicable warranties with respect to

defects in materials or workmanship.

The use of poor-quality fuels may result in

problems relating to drivability and start-

ing, and to a tendency to stall, especially under

certain environmental conditions such as high

ambient temperature and high altitude.

Should you encounter drivability problems

which you suspect could be related to the fuel

you are using, we recommend that you respond

by switching to a recognized high-quality brand

such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier

Detergent Gasoline.

Failure to comply with these recommendations

may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<
