swallowed, call a physician immediately, even if no symptoms are

immediately apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be visible for

hours.

• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind

can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases,

excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious

illness and permanent injury.

• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,

remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and

seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could

lead to permanent injury.

• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is

splashed on the skin and/or clothing, promptly remove contaminated

clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or

prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.

• Be particularly careful if you are taking “Antabuse” or other forms of

disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors,

or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive

individuals, serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is

splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and

water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse

reaction.

Choosing the right fuel

Use only UNLEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law

and could damage your vehicle.

Do not use gasolines containing methanol. It can damage critical fuel

systems components.

Vehicles certified to meet California emission standards (indicated on the

underhood Vehicle Emissions Control Information label) are designed to

operate on California cleaner-burning, low-sulfur gasolines. If you have a

California-certified vehicle and California cleaner—burning gasoline is not

available when you refuel, your engine should perform adequately.

However, the performance of the emission control devices and systems

may be adversely affected. In New York and Massachusetts, which have

adopted California’s emission standards without requiring the sale of

California cleaner-burning gasoline, repairs to correct the effects of using

non-California fuel may not be covered by the emissions warranty.
