FLEXIBLE FUEL (3.6L ENGINE ONLY) — IF EQUIPPED
E-85 General Information
The information in this section is unique for Flexible Fuel vehicles only. These vehicles
can be identified by a unique fuel filler door label that states Ethanol (E-85) or Unleaded
Gasoline Only and a yellow fuel cap. Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further
information.
Only vehicles with the E-85 fuel filler door label or a yellow gas cap can operate on
E-85.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to "Main-
tenance Procedures" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" in your Owner's Manual or applicable
supplement on the DVD for further details.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage
will influence when the "Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" message is displayed.
Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
"Instrument Cluster Warning Lights" in "What To Do In Emergencies" in this guide or
"Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" in "Understanding Your Instrument
Panel" in your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
twelve months or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first. The 350 hours of
engine run or idle time is generally only a concern for fleet customers.
