Gasoline/oxygenated fuel blends
To avoid invalidating the vehicle warranty, use
ONLY fuels blended within the following
limits:
1. Up to 15% of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
(MTBE) and unleaded fuel mix.
2. Up to 15% of Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
(ETBE) and unleaded fuel mix.
3. Up to 10% of Ethanol (Ethyl or grain
alcohol) and unleaded fuel mix.
Methanol/unleaded fuel blends
In some areas it is possible to buy unleaded
fuel that is blended with up to 5% Methanol
(Methyl or wood alcohol) and cosolvents and
corrosion preventatives. Using these blends
can cause driveability problems and damage
to the fuel system components. Their use may
also invalidate the vehicle warranty.
WHEREVER POSSIBLE, AVOID USING FUEL
CONTAINING METHANOL!
Octane enhancers
The use of octane enhancers is not
recommended, and may invalidate the vehicle
warranty.
WARNING
Automotive fuels can cause serious injury,
and even death if misused.
Methanol/unleaded fuel blends, even in
small amounts, can cause blindness and
possible death if swallowed. Additionally,
take precautions to avoid methanol from
coming into contact with the skin.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
The fuel filler is located in the rear right-hand
fender. Press the fuel filler switch (shown in
illustration) to open the filler flap.
The fuel filler switch may only be operated
with the starter key turned to position ’0’. It
will not operate when the engine is running.
GAS STATION SAFETY
Petroleum gases are highly flammable
and, in confined spaces, are also
extremely explosive. Always take sensible
precautions when refuelling:
• Switch off the engine.
• Do not smoke or use a naked flame
or light.
• Take care not to spill fuel.
• Do not overfill the tank.
