522 STARTING AND OPERATING

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.

Fuel Requirements

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.

• Use seasonally adjusted E-85 fuel (ASTM D5798). With

non-seasonally adjusted E-85 fuel, you may experience

hard starting and rough idle following start up even if

the above recommendations are followed, especially

when the ambient temperature is below 32°F (0°C).
