Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace your seat belts; they
add to the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some
types of collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children
are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infant
seat in the front passenger’s seat as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously
injure an infant.
F U E L R E C O M M E N D A T I O N
Use of unleaded premium gasoline of 91 octane or higher is recommended.
• Acura recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
• See your Owner’s Manual for more information.
Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based fuel additive.
Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT can deteriorate your
vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emission control system. Always use
MMT-free gasoline if available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMT
may not be covered under your new vehicle warranty.
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline (recommended) never contains MMT and has detergent
additives to keep your engine clean. For further information on fuel and lubricants for
your car and information on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your
dealer or visit owners.acura.com.
