The manufacturer supports the use of reformulated gaso-

lines. Properly blended reformulated gasolines will pro-

vide excellent performance and durability of engine and

fuel system components.

Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends

Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy-

genates such as Ethanol. Fuels blended with oxygenates

may be used in your vehicle.

CAUTION!

DO NOT use gasoline containing Methanol or gaso-

line containing more than 10% Ethanol. Use of these

blends may result in starting and driveability prob-

lems, damage critical fuel system components, cause

emissions to exceed the applicable standard, and/or

cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light” to illumi-

nate. Pump labels should clearly communicate if a

fuel contains greater than 10% Ethanol.

Problems that result from using gasoline containing

Methanol or gasoline containing more than 10% Ethanol

are not the responsibility of the manufacturer and may

not be covered under New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles

Non-FFV vehicles are compatible with gasoline contain-

ing 10% ethanol (E10). Gasoline with higher ethanol

content may void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85

fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms:

• operate in a lean mode
• OBD II “Malfunction Indicator Light” on
• poor engine performance
• poor cold start and cold drivability
• increased risk for fuel system component corrosion
