R E G I S T E R A T WWW.MYACURA.COMMy Acura enhances your ownership experience by allowing you to explore featuresand technologies specific to your vehicle, schedule service appointments, obtainand update maintenance and service records, manage your financial servicesaccount, and access other useful information.

S A F E T Y R E M I N D E RYour vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add tothe protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types ofcollisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young childrenare properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infantseat in the front passenger’s seat, as the force of a deploying airbag can seriouslyinjure 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 fueladditive. Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT candeteriorate your vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emissioncontrol system. Always use MMT-free gasoline if available. Failures caused byuse of gasoline containing MMT may not be covered under warranty.

• “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” meets a new gasoline standard jointlyestablished by leading automotive manufacturers to meet the needs of today'sadvanced engines. In most cases, qualifying gasoline retailers will identify theirgasoline as having met “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards at the retaillocation. This fuel is guaranteed to contain the proper level of detergentadditives and be free of metallic additives. This helps avoid build-up of depositsin your engine and emission control system. Because the level of detergencyand harmful metallic additives (such as MMT) in gasoline vary in the market,Acura endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” where available tohelp maintain the performance and reliability of your vehicle. For moreinformation, visit www.toptiergas.com.

• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car andinformation on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your dealer or visitMy Acura at www.myacura.com.
