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 gasoline is prohibited by Federal

law. Using leaded gasoline can impair engine per-
formance 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 ser-
vice. 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 methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle perfor-
mance problems resulting from the use of such
fuels or additives is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer and may void or not be covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
