Fuel specifications

The engine uses lead-free gasoline

only.

Required fuel

Premium Unleaded Gasoline,

Minimum Octane Rating: 91.

Minimum Octane Rating corresponds

to the Anti Knock Index AKI and is

determined according to the so-called

(R+M)/2 method.

Do not use leaded gasoline, as

otherwise the lambda probe and

catalytic converter will be permanently

damaged.<

Use high-quality brands

Field experience has indicated signifi-

cant differences in fuel quality: volatility,

composition, 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% meth-

anol plus an equivalent amount of co-

solvent, will not void the applicable

warranties with respect to defects in

materials or workmanship.

The use of poor-quality fuels may

result in drivability, starting and

stalling problems especially under cer-

tain environmental conditions such as

high ambient temperature and high alti-

tude.

Should you encounter drivability prob-

lems 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.

Failure to comply with these recom-

mendations may also result in unsched-

uled maintenance.<
