466 STARTING AND OPERATING

Starting

The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use

when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the

range of 0°F (-18°C) to 32°F (0°C), an increase in the time

it takes for your engine to start may be experienced, and

a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations)

until the engine is fully warmed up. These issues may be

improved with the use of seasonally adjusted E-85 fuel.

NOTE: Use of the engine block heater (if equipped) may

improve engine start time when using E-85 fuel when the

ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C).

Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon/liter

than gasoline, an increase in fuel consumption will be

experienced. The miles per gallon (mpg)/kilometers per

liter and the driving range will decrease by approxi-

mately 30%, compared to gasoline operation.

All fuel and engine components in your Flexible Fuel

Vehicle (FFV) are designed to be compatible with ethanol.

Ethanol compatible service components are required.

Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol

compatible components can damage your vehicle.

Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your

vehicle. It will cause difficulty in cold starting and

may affect drivability.
