Your vehicle is designed to operate
on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number of 87 or higher. Use
of a lower octane gasoline can cause
a persistent, heavy, metallic rapping
noise that can lead to engine damage.
Premium fuel is recommended when
towing in certain conditions (see
page ).
Some gasoline today is blended with
oxygenates such as ethanol. Your
vehicle is designed to operate on
oxygenated gasoline containing up to
10% ethanol by volume. Do not use
gasoline containing methanol. If you
notice any undesirable operating
symptoms, try another service
station or switch to another brand of
gasoline.
In addition, in order to maintain good
performance, fuel economy, and
emissions control, we strongly
recommend the use of gasoline that
does NOT contain harmful
manganese-based fuel additives such
as MMT, if such gasoline is available.
Use of gasoline with these additives
may adversely affect performance,
and cause the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on your instrument panel to
come on. If this happens, contact
your dealer for service.

If a non-FFV is inadvertently
refueled once with E85 fuel, have
the fuel tank drained at a dealer.
If this occurs over a prolonged
period, damage may occur.
Do not use E85 fuel in a non-Flex Fuel
Vehicle (FFV).
Non-FFV models are not designed to
run on E85 fuel. Using E85 fuel can
damage the fuel system components.
To help prevent harmful fuel system
and engine deposits, use high quality
fuel containing detergent and additives.
