Fuel grade

You should only refuel with unleaded
premium-grade gasoline as this avoids
damaging the catalytic converter.

have the cause checked immediately and
repaired. Excess unburned fuel can
otherwise enter the catalytic converter,
leading to overheating and possibly
causing a fire.

Usually you will find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find
the label on the gasoline pump, ask the gas
