Other information:
MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline
to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage
beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT
reduces spark plug life and reduces emissions system performance in some vehicles...
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) which is used to secure a child restraint system.
The figure below illustrates the locking feature for each seating position.
If the passenger seating position is equipped with an ALR and is being used for
normal usage, only pull the seat belt webbing out far enough to comfortably wrap
around the occupant’s mid-section so as to not activate the ALR...
