Answer
The engine oil should be changed every
10,000 miles (16,000 km) under normal operating
conditions. See the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide chapter.
Your hybrid vehicle can use E10 (10% ethanol,
90% gasoline) fuel, but you may notice slightly
reduced fuel economy because ethanol contains
less energy per gallon than gasoline. Your hybrid
vehicle is not designed to use E85 (85% ethanol).
The high voltage battery system is designed to
last the life of the vehicle and requires no
maintenance.
There are no provisions for charging the high
voltage battery from a power supply external to
the vehicle.
Yes. Your hybrid vehicle can be "flat-towed"
without modification. See the Recreational
Towing section in the Tires, Wheels and
Loading chapter for more information.
