Ethanol Fuel (E-85)

E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and
15% unleaded gasoline.

WARNING!

Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could
cause serious personal injury. Never have any smok-
ing materials lit in or near the vehicle when filling
the tank. Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and
never use it near an open flame.

Fuel Requirements

Your vehicle will operate on both unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or any mixture of
these two. For best results, a refueling pattern that
alternates between E-85 and unleaded gasoline should be
avoided.

When you do switch fuel types it is recommended that:

• you do not switch when the fuel gauge indicates less

than 1/4 full

• you do not add less than 5 gallons (19 Liters) when

refueling

• you operate the vehicle immediately after refueling for

a period of at least 5 minutes

Observing these precautions will avoid possible hard
starting and/or significant deterioration in driveability
during warm up.

NOTE:

• When the ambient temperature is above 90° F (32° C),

you may experience hard starting and rough idle
following start up even if the above recommendations
are followed.
