FUEL REqUiREMENTS

91-octane fuel is recommended. If 91-octane fuel is not available, fuel as 
low as 87-octane can be used temporarily for emergency purposes. Use 
of fuel lower than 91-octane can decrease performance, cause knocking/
engine noise, deteriorate shift quality, and possibly increase fuel consumption. 
Refueling the vehicle with correct octane fuel a couple of times will restore 
vehicle performance and shift quality.

FUEL DOOR

To avoid scratching the 
paint during refueling, 
secure the fuel filler cap 
tether over the hook  
as shown.
