LUBRICANTS AND GREASES 

Semi-solid lubricants bear the NLGI designation and 
are further classified as grades 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
Whenever "Chassis Lubricant" is specified, Multipur-
pose Grease, NLGI grade Number 2, should be 
used.

FUEL USAGE STATEMENT 

CAUTION

Using leaded gasoline in your car will damage 
the catalytic converters and heated oxygen sen-
sors, and affect the warranty coverage validity.
This vehicle must use unleaded gasoline only.
Premium fuel is recommended.
This vehicle has a fuel filler tube which is especially 
designed to accept only the smaller-diameter 
unleaded gasoline dispensing nozzle.
Your car is designed to operate on premium grade 
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane rating 
of 91 [(MON + RON)/2], or 95 RON.  If premium 
grade unleaded gasoline is not available, unleaded 
gasoline having an octane rating of 87 [(MON + 
RON)/2], or 91 RON may be used. However, the per-
formance level may be reduced.
MON: Motor Octane Number
RON: Research Octane Number

.

GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
Some gasolines sold at service stations contain alco-
hol although they may not be so identified.

Using fuels containing alcohol is not recommended 
unless the nature of the blend can be determined as 
being satisfactory.
Gasohol: A mixture of 10% ethanol (grain alcohol) 
and 90% unleaded gasoline may be used in your 
vehicle. If driveability problems are experienced as a 
result of using gasohol, it is recommended that the 
vehicle be operated on gasoline.
Methanol: Do not use gasolines containing meth-
anol (wood alcohol).
 Using this type of alcohol can 
result in vehicle performance deterioration and dam-
age critical parts in the fuel system components. Fuel 
system damage and performance problems resulting 
from the use of gasolines containing methanol may 
not be covered by the new vehicle warranty.

.

GASOLINES CONTAINING METHY TERTIARY 
BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)
Unleaded gasoline containing 15% or less MTBE 
may be used in your vehicle. (Fuel containing MTBE 
over 15% in volume may cause reduced engine per-
formance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.

MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL

Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents 
should be avoided. Many of these materials intended 
for gum and varnish removal may contain highly 
active solvents or similar ingredients that can be 
harmful to gasket and diaphragm materials used in 
fuel system component parts.

CAUTION

• If the concentration of the coolant is less than 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely 

affected. In addition, if the concentration is greater than 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cool-
ing properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to main-
tain the concentration level within the specified range.

• Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.

Example

• The safe operating temperature is −15°C (5° F) when the specific gravity is 1.058  at the coolant tempera-

ture of 20

° C (68° F)
