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

This indicator light illuminates to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side airbags and seat
belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for this is that the weight in the seat
is less than approximately 66 lb. Always wear your seat belt and if a front facing child seat must be
used, you must deactivate the passenger airbag. See the Owner’s Manual for important information
on this safety feature.
