the gasoline contains MMT. It is even more important to
look for gasolines without MMT in Canada, because
MMT can be used at levels higher than those allowed in
the United States. MMT is prohibited in Federal and
California 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

Use the following guidelines to maintain your vehi-
cle’s performance:
The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law.

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

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.
