Fuel System Cautions
CAUTION!
Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s
performance:
The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law.
Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance
and damage the emission control system.
An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition mal-
functions, can cause the catalytic converter to over-
heat. 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.
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 performance problems
resulting from the use of such fuels or additives is not

NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems can result in civil penalties being assessed
against you.
