Precautions for Fuel
In order to maintain engine and exhaust system durability and
performance, unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane num-
ber 96) must be used.
If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with
an octane rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91)
may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions:
I
Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular
gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon
as possible.
I
Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration
CAUTION:
Use unleaded fuel only. Under no circumstances should
leaded gasoline be used. It will damage your three way cata-
lyst and increase dangerous emissions from your vehicle
exhaust.
Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also
affect warranty coverage.
Precautions for Air Conditioning
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air condi-
tioning system must be discharged. Refer to HA section (“HFC-
134a (R-134a) Service Procedure”, “SERVICE PROCEDURES”)
for specific instructions.
