To ensure the longevity and full
performance of the engine, only premiumgrade
unleaded gasoline may be used.
If there is no premium-grade unleaded

• only fill the fuel tank to half full with
regular-grade unleaded gasoline and fill
the rest with premium-grade unleaded
gasoline as soon as possible.
• do not drive at the maximum speed.
• avoid sudden acceleration.
• if the vehicle is carrying a light load, e.g. two passengers without luggage,
do not
allow the engine to rev above
3,000 rpm.
• if the vehicle is fully loaded or is being
operated in mountainous terrain, do not
depress the accelerator pedal further
than 2/3 of the pedal travel.
