WARNING!

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

Your vehicle will operate on both unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or any mixture of
these two.

For best results, a refueling pattern that alternates be-
tween E-85 and unleaded gasoline should be avoided.
When you do switch fuels, it is recommended that:

• you do not switch when the fuel gauge indicates less

than one-quarter full

• you do not add less than 5 gal (19 L) when refueling
• you operate the vehicle immediately after refueling for

a period of at least five minutes

Observing these precautions will avoid possible hard
starting and/or significant deterioration in driveability
during warm up.

NOTE:

When the ambient temperature is above 90°F

(32°C), you may experience hard starting and rough idle
following start-up even if the above recommendations
are followed.
