Fuel Requirement
The recommended fuel for your vehicle is 89 octane minimum� Non-oxygenated (ethanol-free) fuel is
recommended for best performance in all conditions�
CAUTION
Do not use leaded gasoline, as it will destroy the catalytic converter� (For further understanding, please
refer to more information related to the catalytic converter)
Be sure to use fresh gasoline� Gasoline oxidates in as little as 30 days, resulting in loss of octane and
volatile compounds� It also produces colloidal and lacquer deposits which could damage the fuel system�
Octane Rating Class
The higher the octane rating of the fuel, the better ability to prevent engine knocking or detonation� Please
always use 89 octane or higher unleaded gasoline�
CAUTION
If the engine has a knocking cylinder or detonation, use a higher quality or higher octane rating of
unleaded gasoline�
