Do not use leaded gasoline; otherwise, 
you will damage the catalytic converter. 

Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel consisting 
of 85

Ξ ethanol or flex fuel. Otherwise the 

engine and fuel supply system will be dam-
aged.

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 mini-
mum specified 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

Ξ ethanol or other 

oxygenates with up to 2.8

Ξ oxygen by weight, 

that is, 15

Ξ MTBE or 3Ξ 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 
drivability, starting and stalling problems, 

especially under certain environmental condi-
tions such as high ambient temperature and 
high altitude. 
Should you encounter driveability problems 
which 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 result in unscheduled maintenance.
