• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind

can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent injury.

• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,

remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could
lead to permanent injury.

• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is

splashed on the skin or clothing, promptly remove contaminated
clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.

• Be particularly careful if you are taking Antabuse or other forms of

disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors,
or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive
individuals, serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is
splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse
reaction.

FUEL QUALITY

Note: Use of any fuel other than those recommended may cause
powertrain damage and a loss of vehicle performance; repairs may not be
covered under warranty.

Choosing the Right Fuel with a Flex Fuel Vehicle (If Equipped)

Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum
of 85% ethanol (E-85) in your Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV). If your vehicle is
flex fuel capable, it will have a yellow fuel filler cap placed over the fuel
fill inlet.

Do not use:
• Fuels containing more than 85% ethanol or E-100 fuel.
• Fuels containing methanol.
• Fuels containing metallic based additives, including manganese-based

compounds.

• Fuels containing the octane booster additive, methylcyclopentadienyl

manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

• Leaded-fuel (The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law).
