The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can produce static

electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is pumped into an

ungrounded fuel container.

Use the following guidelines to avoid static build-up when filling an

ungrounded fuel container:

• Place approved fuel container on the ground.

• DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle.

• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while

filling.

• DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill

position.

Choosing the right fuel

Use only UNLEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law

and could damage your vehicle.

Do not use fuel containing methanol. It can damage critical fuel system

components.

Your vehicle was not designed to use fuel or fuel additives with metallic

compounds, including manganese-based compounds containing MMT.

Repairs to correct the effects of using a fuel for which your vehicle was

not designed may not be covered by your warranty.

Octane recommendations

Your vehicle is designed to use

“Regular” unleaded gasoline with

pump (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.

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.
