attention. It is essential that you have

roads within the legal speed limit.

If you are planning to take your
Acura outside the U.S., contact the tourist bureaus in the areas you will
be traveling in to find out about theavailability of unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating.
If unleaded gasoline is not available,
be aware that using leaded gasoline
in your Acura will affect perfor-
mance and fuel mileage, and damage
its emissions controls. It will no
longer comply with U.S. and
Canadian emissions regulations, and
will be illegal to operate in North America. To bring your car back intocompliance will require the replace-
ment of several components, such as
the oxygen sensors and the three
way catalytic converter. These re- placements are not covered under
