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.

• 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.
