Fuel Requirements

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (research octane number 96) for the VG33ER engine.

If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI number (research octane number 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions:
* Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon as possible.
* Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.

CAUTION: Use unleaded fuel only. Under no circumstances should leaded gasoline be used. It will damage the three way catalyst and increase dangerous emissions from the vehicle exhaust. Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.
