Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having an octane num- ber ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. For improved vehicle performance, premium unleaded fuel with an octane number ((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research Octane Number 96) or higher is recommended. (Do not use methanol blended fuels.) NOTICE To prevent damage to the engine and engine components, never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified. Consult an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products for addi- tional information. WARNING • Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refu- eling. • Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an accident. F7 Introduction Gasoline containing alcohol or methanol Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline. For example, "E15" is a gasohol comprised of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline. Do not use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol, and do not use gaso- line or gasohol containing any methanol.
