16 REGISTER AT My Acura enhances your ownership experience by allowing you to explore features and technologies specific to your vehicle, schedule service appointments, obtain and update maintenance and service records, manage your financial services account, and access other useful information. SAFETY REMINDER 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. FUEL REQUIREMENT Use only 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 emissions control system. Always use MMT-free gasoline if it is available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMT may not be covered under warranty. 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
