Never add any fuel system cleaning

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco

wood alcohol) are being marketed

unleaded gasoline.

%o not use gasohol containing more
than 1% ethanol, and do not use
gasoline or gasohol containing any
methanol. &thanol provides less
energy than gasoline and it attracts
water, and it is thus likely to reduce
your fuel efficiency and could lower

tives that you can buy separately

should be added to the fuel tank at
every ,000 miles (13,000 km) (for

䳜%o not park or stop the vehicle
near flammable items such as
leaves, paper, oil, and tire. Such
items placed near the exhaust
system can become a fire hazard.
䳜8hen an engine idles at a high
rpm with the rear side of the
vehicle in close proximity of the
wall, heat of the exhaust gas can
cause discoloration or fire. Keep
enough space between the rear
part of the vehicle and the wall.
䳜Be sure not to touch the exhaust/
catalytic systems while engine is
running or right after the engine
is turned off. There is a risk of
burns since the systems are
extremely hot.

This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (&%3). The main
purpose of an &%3 is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-like sit
-
uations, such as an air bag deploy
-
ment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understand
-
ing how a vehicle's systems per
-
formed. The &%3 is designed to
record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The &%3 in this
vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
䳜How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
䳜8hether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
䳜How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or

These data can help provide a bet
-
ter understanding of the circum
-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. N0T&: &%3 data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the &%3 under
normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g., name, gender,
age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could
combine the &%3 data with the type
of personally identifying data rou
-
tinely acquired during a crash inves
-
tigation.
To read data recorded by an &%3,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the &%3 is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the &%3.
