Question
Answer
What is the engine
oil change service
interval?
The engine oil should be changed every
10,000 miles (16,000 km) under normal operating
conditions. See the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide chapter.
Can I put E10 or
E85 in my vehicle,
and how will it
affect my fuel
economy?
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).
How long will my
high voltage battery
last? Does it need
maintenance?
The high voltage battery system is designed to
last the life of the vehicle and requires no
maintenance.
Can you charge the
battery with a plug
into an A/C outlet?
There are no provisions for charging the high
voltage battery from a power supply external to
the vehicle.
Can I tow the hybrid
behind my motor
home with all four
wheels down?
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.
