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 Q U I R E M E N T

• Only use unleaded gasoline of 91 octane or higher.

• 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 warranty.

• “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” meets a new gasoline standard jointly

established by leading automotive manufacturers to meet the needs of today's

advanced engines. In most cases, qualifying gasoline retailers will identify their

gasoline as having met “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards at the retail

location. This fuel is guaranteed to contain the proper level of detergent

additives and be free of metallic additives. This helps avoid build-up of deposits

in your engine and emission control system. Because the level of detergency

and harmful metallic additives (such as MMT) in gasoline vary in the market,

Acura endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” where available to

help maintain the performance and reliability of your vehicle. For more

information, visit www.toptiergas.com.

• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car and

information on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your dealer or visit

My Acura at www.myacura.com.
