486 STARTING AND OPERATING

Only vehicles with the E-85 fuel filler door label can

operate on E-85.

Ethanol Fuel (E-85)

E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and

15% unleaded gasoline.

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 E-85 as a cleaning agent and never

use it near an open flame.

If your vehicle is E-85 compatible, it will operate on

unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E-85

fuel, or any mixture of these two fuels.

For best results, a refueling pattern that avoids alternat-

ing between E-85 and unleaded gasoline is recom-

When you do switch fuel types it is recommended that:

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

• You drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at

least 5 miles (8 km).

Observing these precautions will avoid possible hard

starting and/or significant deterioration in driveability

during warm up.
