Location of Spare Tire and Tools
Your spare tire and tools are under the carpeted floor panel in the rear of
your vehicle.
• It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and
E85. If you do switch fuels, it is recommended that you add as
much fuel as possible, at least half a tank.
• You should drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at
least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the
change in ethanol concentration.
• If you exclusively use E85 fuel, we recommend filling the fuel tank
with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
• Non-flex fuel vehicles use only UNLEADED fuel with a minimum
octane rating of 87. Do not use fuel ethanol (E85), diesel fuel,
E20 - E85
fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could
damage or impair the emission control system.
• The spare tire is designed for emergency use only. You should replace it
as soon as possible.
• For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the Changing a Road
Wheel section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner's Manual.
