GAS STATION INFORMATION

RECOMMENDED FUEL: For 2.4L/3.3L engine

Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) num- ber (Research octane number 91).

For 3.3L supercharger

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI number (Research oc- tane number 96).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Research octane number 91) can be used, but only under the following precau- tions: c have the fuel tank filled only partially with un- leaded regular gasoline, and fill up with un- leaded premium as soon as possible.

c avoid full throttle driving and abrupt accelera-

tion

However, for maximum vehicle perfo- mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso- line is recommended.

CAUTION

c Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control system, and may also affect the warranty coverage.

c Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way catalyst.
