CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged
if
you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts
and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric”
fasteners can be
easily
confused.
If
you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall off. You could be hurt.
Adding Equipment to the Outside
of
TT
Vehicle
inlngs you might add to the outside of your vehicle can
affect the airflow around it. This may cause wind noise
and affect windshield washer performance. Check with
your dealer before adding equipment to the outside
of
your
vehicle.
Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or
higher. At a minimum, it should meet specifications
ASTM
D4814
in
the United States and
CGSB
3.5-M93
in Canada. Improved gasoline specifications have
been developed by the American Automobile
Manufacturers Association (AAMA) for better
vehicle performance and engine protection. Gasolines
meeting the AAMA specification could provide
improved driveability and emission control system
protection compared to other gasolines.
Be sure the posted octane is at least 87. If the octane is
less than 87,
you
may get a heavy knocking noise when
you
drive. If it’s bad enough, it can damage your engine.
If you’re using fuel rated at 87 octane
or
higher and
you
hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service. But
don’t
worry
if
you
hear a little pinging noise when
you’re accelerating or driving up a hill. That’s normal,
and
you
don’t have
to
buy a higher octane fuel
to
get rid
of
pinging. It’s the heavy, constant knock that means
you
have a problem.
