Jeep Liberty: Fuel System Cautions
CAUTION!
Use the following guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s
performance:
• The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law.

• An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions, can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate service. Contact your authorized dealer for service assistance.

NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you.
