Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace 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 15% 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.
