can be used at levels higher than those allowed in the
United States. MMT is prohibited in Federal and Califor-
nia reformulated gasoline.

Materials Added To Fuel

All gasoline sold in the United States is required to contain
effective detergent additives. Use of additional detergents
or other additives is not needed under normal conditions
and they would result in additional cost. Therefore, you
should not have to add anything to the fuel.

Fuel System Cautions

CAUTION!

Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s
performance:
The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law.

Using leaded gasoline can impair engine perfor-
mance and damage the emissions control system.

CAUTION! (Continued)

An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition

malfunctions can cause the catalytic converter to
overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or
some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or
malfunctioning and may require immediate service.
Contact your authorized dealer for service assistance.

The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold

as octane enhancers, is not recommended. Most of
these products contain high concentrations of metha-
nol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems resulting from the use of such fuels or
additives is not the responsibility of the manufac-
turer.

NOTE:

Intentional tampering with the emissions control

system can result in civil penalties being assessed against
you.
