FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Fuel recommendation
EXAMPLE
Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in certain areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your
vehicle if they are no more than 10% etha-
nol ( ). Check that this gasoline-ethanol
blend has octane ratings no lower than
those recommended for the gasoline.
NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space to
allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel
after the filler nozzle has automati-
cally shut off or an initial blowback
occurs, the air chamber will become
full. Exposure to heat when fully
fuelled in this manner will result in
leakage due to fuel expansion. To
prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling
after the filler nozzle has automati-
cally shut off, or when initial vent
blowback occurs, if using an alterna-
tive non-automatic system.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded gasoline contain-
ing no alcohol.

NOTICE
To avoid damaging catalytic converter, you
must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or
95 or higher if it is stated on the fuel filler
lid), which complies with the European
standard EN228. This is identified by a
label attached on fuel lid that states:
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up
immediately. Fuels containing alco-
hol can cause paint damage, which is
not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

If a “RON 95” label is attached, you must
use unleaded gasoline with an octane
number (RON) of 95 or higher.
