An occasional light “knocking” or

the knocking or pinging occurs

under normal load at a steady

engine speed, the problem may

be with the brand of gasoline

being used.

Switch to a different brand of gasoline,

making sure that the octane rating is 86 or

higher. If problem continues, contact your

nearest authorized service center.
