Service and Maintenance
CAUTION
Some additives are not compat-
ible with E-85 fuel and may
harm your fuel system. Damage
caused by the use of additives
may not be covered by your
new vehicle warranty. Do not
use additives with E-85 fuel.
You may use either regular
unleaded gasoline or ethanol fuel
up to 85% (E-85).
E-85 fuel is a blend of
approximately 85% ethanol
and 15% gasoline. E-85 is a high-
octane, renewable fuel made
primarily from corn.
. . . 292
At a minimum, ethanol fuel should
meet ASTM D 5798 specifications.
Fuel labeled E-85 that meets the
ASTM D 5798 specifications will
contain 70% to 85% ethanol.
Note:
Filling the fuel tank with fuel
mixtures that do not meet
ASTM specifications can affect
driveability and could cause the
malfunction indicator light to
come on.
See "Malfunction Indicator
Light" under "Indicator and
Warning Lights" in Section 1 for
more information.
Because your vehicle's fuel system
is compatible with ethanol fuel,
the fuel cap will be yellow with
"E-85 or gasoline" (E-85 or
gasoline) printed on it.
Your vehicle automatically detects
the current fuel mixture in the fuel
tank and adjusts the engine
settings accordingly. You can fill
the tank with gasoline or E-85,
regardless of which fuel is already
in the tank.
