Octane recommendations

Do not be concerned if your engine

sometimes knocks lightly. However,

if it knocks heavily under most

driving conditions while you are

using fuel with the recommended

octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified service technician to prevent

any engine damage.

Unleaded Gasoline engines

Your vehicle is designed to use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an

(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. We do not recommend the use of gasolines

labeled as “Regular” that are sold with octane ratings of 86 or lower in

high altitude areas.

FFV engine

Your vehicle is designed to use Fuel Ethanol (E85), “Regular” unleaded

gasoline or any percentage of the two fuels combined.

U.S. government regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing

pumps to have a small, square, orange and black label with the

common abbreviation E85 or the appropriate percentage for that

region. Use of other fuels such as Fuel Methanol may cause

powertrain damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and your

warranty may be invalidated.

Fuel quality

Many of the world’s automakers issued the World-wide Fuel Charter that

recommends gasoline specifications to provide improved performance

and emission control system protection for your vehicle. Gasolines that

meet the World-wide Fuel Charter should be used when available. Ask

your fuel supplier about gasolines that meet the World-wide Fuel

Charter.

It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket products to your fuel

tank if you continue to use high quality fuel of the recommended octane

rating. Aftermarket products could cause damage to the fuel system.

Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in your

fuel may not be covered by your warranty.

Unleaded Gasoline engines

If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation driveability

problems during a cold start, try a different brand of “Regular” unleaded

(R+M)/2 METHOD
