 89

Approx. 17.7 US gal/67 liters, including the 
reserve capacity of approx. 2 US gal/8 liters.

Never attempt to continue driving until 
the tank is completely empty; this can 

negatively affect engine function and can dam-
age the vehicle.

<

Never use leaded gasoline. Otherwise, 
you will damage the catalytic converter. 

Do not use flex fuel or E85, i.e. fuel that is com-
prised of 85% ethanol as these can damage the 
engine and fuel supply system.

<

This gasoline is highly recommended.
However, you may also use gasoline with a 
lower AKI rating. The minimum AKI rating is 87.
If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI rat-
ing, the engine may produce knocking sounds 
when starting at high outside temperatures. 
This has no effect on the engine life.

Do not use any gasoline below the speci-
fied minimum fuel grade. Otherwise, the 

engine could be damaged.

<

Field experience has indicated significant dif-
ferences in fuel quality: volatility, composition, 
additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale 
in the United States and Canada. Fuels contain-
ing up to and including 10% ethanol or other 
oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight, 
that is, 15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an 
equivalent amount of co-solvent, will not void 
the applicable warranties with respect to 
defects in materials or workmanship.

The use of poor-quality fuels may result in 
stalling, starting and drivability problems 

especially under certain environmental condi-
tions such as high ambient temperature and 
high altitude.
Should you encounter drivability problems that 
you suspect could be related to the fuel you are 
using, we recommend that you respond by 
switching to a recognized high-quality brand 
such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier 
Detergent Gasoline.
Failure to comply with these recommendations 
may also result in unscheduled maintenance.
