FUEL REQUIREMENTS

91-octane fuel is recommended. If 91-octane fuel is not available, fuel as

low as 87-octane can be used temporarily for emergency purposes. Use

of fuel lower than 91-octane can decrease performance, cause knocking/

engine noise, deteriorate shift quality, and possibly increase fuel consumption.

Refueling the vehicle with correct octane fuel a couple of times will restore

vehicle performance and shift quality.

FUEL DOOR

To avoid scratching the

paint during refueling,

secure the fuel ller cap

tether over the hook

as shown.

Driver’s View

1This indicator light illuminates to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side airbags and seat

belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for this is that the weight in the seat

is less than approximately 66 lb. Always wear your seat belt and if a front facing child seat must be

used, you must deactivate the passenger airbag. See the Owner’s Manual for important information

on this safety feature.
