Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace your seat belts; they
add to the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some
types of collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children
are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infant
seat in the front passenger’s seat as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously
injure an infant.

• Use only unleaded gasoline of 91 octane or higher.
• Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based fuel additive.
Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT can deteriorate your
vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emissions control system. Always use
MMT-free gasoline if it is available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing
MMT may not be covered under warranty.
• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car and information
on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your dealer or visit My Acura at
