Your vehicle is equipped with airbags\b Airbags \3do not replace seat belts; they add to
the protection offered by seat belts\b Airbags c\3an help protect you in some types of
collisions, but they do not provide protection i\3n all collisions\b
Always make sure you and your passengers wear \3seat belts, and that young children
are properly secured in a child seat or booster \3in the rear seat\b Never place an infant
seat in the front passenger’s seat, as the fo\3rce of a deploying airbag can seriously
injure an infant\b
F U E L R E Q U I R E M E N T
• Only use unleaded gasoline of 91 octane \3or higher\b
• Some gasoline in North America contains MMT,\3 a manganesebased fuel additive\b Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline \3containing MMT can
deteriorate your vehicle’s performance, fuel economy,\3 and the emission
control system\b Always use MMTfree gasoline \3if available\b Failures caused by
use of gasoline containing MMT may not be cover\3ed under warranty\b
• “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” meets a \3new gasoline standard jointly established by leading automotive manufacturers to mee\3t the needs of today's
advanced engines\b In most cases, qualifying gasoli\3ne retailers will identify their
gasoline as having met “TOP TIER Detergent \3Gasoline” standards at the retail
location\b This fuel is guaranteed to contain the \3proper level of detergent
additives and be free of metallic additives\b This\3 helps avoid buildup of deposits
in your engine and emission control system\b Bec\3ause the level of detergency
and harmful metallic additives (such as MMT) \3in gasoline vary in the market,
Acura endorses the use of “TOP TIER Dete\3rgent Gasoline” where available to
help maintain the performance and reliability of yo\3ur vehicle\b For more
information, visit www.toptiergas.com\b
• For further important information on fuel and \3lubricants for your car and information on gasoline that does not contain MMT,\3 contact your dealer or visit
