Fuel with a lower rating will negatively affect the emission control system performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.

   Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors and will lead to deterioration of

   the emission control system and or failures.



* The use of E10 fuel with 10% ethanol in Europe is safe for your vehicle.

   Damage to your vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation.
