WARNING:
. Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused
by high-pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator
cool down.
. Engine coolant is poisonous and should be
stored carefully in marked containers out of
the reach of children.
The engine cooling system is fille\b \ft the f\fctory with \f
high-qu\flity, ye\fr-roun\b, \fnti-freeze cool\fnt solution.
The \fnti-freeze solution cont\fins rust \fn\b corrosion
inhibitors, therefore \f\b\bition\fl cooling system \f\b\bitives
\fre not necess\fry.
CAUTION:
. Never use any cooling system additives such
as radiator sealer. Additives may clog the
cooling system and cause damage to the
engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
. When adding or replacing coolant, be sure
to use only fluids approved by our technical
department with the proper mixture ratio.
Examples of the mixture ratio are shown
below:

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Gasoli\fe e\fgi\fe (\bodel with three–way
catalyst)
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gaso-
line will damage the three-way catalyst.
Except for Europe, Thaila\fd a\fd Chi\fa: Use UN-
LEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe of at least 91 octa\fe
(RON) .
For Europe: Use UNLEADED PREMIUM gasoli\fe of at
least 95 octa\fe (RON) .
If u\fleaded pre\biu\b gasoli\fe is \fot used, UNLEADED
REGULAR gasoli\fe with a\f octa\fe rati\fg of at least 91
(RON) \bay be used at slightly reduced perfor\ba\fce.
However, for \baxi\bu\b vehicle perfor\ba\fce a\fd the
best driveability, the use of u\fleaded pre\biu\b gasoli\fe
is reco\b\be\fded.
For Thaila\fd: Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe or
gasohol (up to E20*) of at least 91 octa\fe (RON) .
*: Gasohol is alcohol ble\fded gasoli\fe. For exa\bple,
“E20” is a \bixture of approxi\bately 20% fuel etha\fol
a\fd 80% u\fleaded gasoli\fe.
For Chi\fa: Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoli\fe of at
least 93 octa\fe (RON) .
Your vehicle co\bplies with GB18352.3-2005. Use
u\fleaded gasoli\fe with a\f octa\fe rati\fg 93 (RON) or
above a\fd \fatio\fal III or IV e\bissio\f sta\fdard
co\bplia\ft. If other types of gasoli\fe are used, it will
reduce the perfor\ba\fce of the vehicle’s e\bissio\f
co\ftrol syste\b a\fd the Malfu\fctio\f I\fdicator Light
(MIL) will illu\bi\fate.
Diesel e\fgi\fe*
Diesel fuel of at least 50 ceta\fe*
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use su\b\ber or wi\fter
fuel properly accordi\fg to the followi\fg te\bperature co\fdi-
tio\fs.
. Above í78C (208F) ... Su\b\ber type diesel fuel.
. Below í78C (208F) ... Wi\fter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
.Do not use home heating oil, gasoline or
other alternate fuels in your diesel engine.
The use of those or adding those to diesel
fuel can cause engine damage.
. Do not use summer fuel at temperatures
below í78C (208F) . The cold temperatures
will cause wax to form in the fuel. As a
result, it may prevent the engine from
running smoothly.
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY NUM-
BER
Gasoli\fe e\fgi\fe oil
STI0732
For Europe (HR12DDR engine model):
5W-30 is preferable.
If 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity,
from the chart, that is suitable for the outside
temperature range.

If unleaded premium gasoline is no\b used, UNLEADED
REGULAR gasoline wi\bh an oc\bane ra\bing of a\b leas\b 91
\fRON) may be used a\b sligh\bly reduced performance.
However, for maximum vehicle performance and \bhe

is recommended.
For Thailand: Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoline or
gasohol \fup \bo E20*) of a\b leas\b 91 oc\bane \fRON) .
*: Gasohol is alcohol blended gasoline. For example,
“E20” is a mix\bure of approxima\bely 20% fuel e\bhanol
and 80% unleaded gasoline.
For China: Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoline of a\b
