Technical Information > < Octane Number Plug (Octane Number Coding), Selection of Fuel

This Technical Information Bulletin is a supplement to TI-C-32, J-112, dated January 1988

 

Subject:               Selection of Fuel, Octane Number Coding

 

Vehicles:             All Vehicles Equipped with an Octane Number Plug

 

As of February 1989, in some cases new octane number plugs have been factory installed. As a supplement to TI-C-32, J-112, dated January 1988, the tables below display the octane number plugs installed as of this date.

 

Note:

When the vehicle is being handed over by the sales personnel, the customer should once again be instructed as to the function and proper coding of the octane number plug.

 

Use of fuel with a lower than required octane number due to wrong coding, e.g. 91 RON instead of 95 RON can cause damage to the vehicle engine.
