OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your vehicle is designed to use
ªPremiumº unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 or
higher for optimum performance.
The use of gasolines with lower
octane ratings may degrade performance. We do not recommend the use
of gasolines labeled as ªPremiumº in high altitude areas that are sold
with octane ratings of less than 91.
If your engine knocks under any driving conditions while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified
service technician to prevent any engine damage.
WHEELS AND TIRES
Tires295/45 ZR 18 BSW tires
WheelsSVT-Signature style, 18 in x 9.5 in aluminum 5-spoke wheels
TIRE ROTATION
²Unidirectional tire rotation
For vehicles equipped with
unidirectional tires and full-size
spare, your vehicle can be driven
with the unidirectional full-size
spare, rotating counter to the
directional arrow on the tire
sidewall.
Your unidirectional full-size spare
tire is rotated for wear balance. Best
performance may be achieved by
remounting the tire to the wheel, if
necessary, to permit tire rotation
with the directional arrow on the
tire sidewall.
SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL
Your vehicle is equipped a 235/70R-16 spare tire on a steel wheel rim.
This is for temporary use only. Replace this spare tire with a repaired
road tire as soon as possible.
