CAUTION:
. Donot use leaded gasoline. (SeeªRecom-
mended Fluids/lubricants andcapacitiesº
(P .9-2) .)Deposits fromleaded gasoline ser- iously
reduce theability ofthe three-way
catalyst tohelp reduce exhaust pollutants
and/or damage thethree-way catalyst.
. Keep yourengine tunedup.Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuelinjection, orelectrical
systems maycause overrich fueltoflow into
