Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.

vapor lock or hard starting.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of
the fuel system.
Gasolines for cleaner air
To help contribute to cleaner air, we rec-
ommend that you use gasolines treated
with detergent additives, which help pre-
vent deposit formation in the engine.
These gasolines will help the engine run
cleaner and enhance performance of the
Emission Control System.

another country, be sure to:
• Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.

able.
