Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxygen-
ates such as ethanol.
Problems that result from using gasoline containing more
than
15% ethanol (E-15) or gasoline containing methanol are
not the responsibility of the manufacturer and may void or
not be covered under New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Do Not Use E-85 In Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles
Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) are compatible with gasoline
containing up to 15% ethanol (E-15). Use of gasoline with
higher ethanol content may void the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85 fuel,
the e
ngine will have some or all of these symptoms:
• Operate in a lean mode.
• OBD
II Malfunction Indicator Light on.
• Poor
engine performance.
• Poor
cold start and cold drivability.
• Incr
eased risk for fuel system component corrosion.
CAUT
ION!
DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing methanol, or
gasol
ine containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15). Use of
these blends may result in starting and drivability
problems, damage critical fuel system components, cause
emissions to exceed the applicable standard, and/or cause
the Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate. Please
observe pump labels as they should clearly communicate if
a fuel contains greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).
