Ethanol Fuel (E85)

E85 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 remov-
ing the fuel filler tube cap (gas cap) or filling the
tank. Do not use E85 as a cleaning agent and never
use it near an open flame.

Fuel Requirements

If your vehicle is E85 compatible, it will operate on
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E85
fuel, or any mixture of these two fuels.

For best results, a refueling pattern that avoids alternat-
ing between E85 and unleaded gasoline is recom-
mended.

When you do switch fuel types, it is recommended that:

• you do not add less than 5 gal (19 L) when refueling
