Choosing the right fuel

Use only UNLEADED FUEL. The

use of leaded fuel is prohibited by

law and could damage your vehicle.
Your vehicle was not designed to

use fuel or fuel additives with

metallic compounds, including

manganeseĆbased compounds

containing (MMT).
Vehicles certified to meet California

emission standards (indicated on

the underhood Vehicle Emission

Control Information label) are

designed to operate on California

reformulated gasolines. If California

reformulated gasoline is not

available when you refuel, your

vehicle can be operated on

nonĆCalifornia fuels. However, even

though your engine will perform

adequately on other gasolines, the

performance of the emission

control devices and systems may be

adversely affected.
Repair of damage caused by using a

fuel for which your vehicle was not

designed may not be covered by

your warranty.
