Only vehicles that have the 3.5L V6 engine

(VIN Code K) may use 85% ethanol fuel (E85).

General Motors encourages the use of E85 in vehicles

that are designed to use it. The ethanol in E85 is a

“renewable” fuel, meaning it is made from renewable

sources such as corn and other crops.

Many service stations will not have an 85% ethanol

fuel (E85) pump available. The U. S. Department

of Energy has an alternative fuels website

(http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/infrastructure/locator.html)

that can help you ﬁnd E85 fuel. Those stations that do

have E85 should have a label indicating ethanol

content. Do not use the fuel if the ethanol content is

greater than 85%.

At a minimum, E85 should meet ASTM

Speciﬁcation D 5798.

To ensure quick starts in the wintertime, the E85 fuel

must be formulated properly for your climate according

to ASTM speciﬁcation D 5798. If you have trouble

starting on E85, it may be because your E85 fuel is not

properly formulated for your climate. If this happens,

switching to gasoline or adding gasoline to your fuel tank

may improve starting. Your vehicle is designed to

accommodate a mixture of gasoline and E85 fuel. For

good starting and heater efficiency below 32°F (0°C), the

fuel mix in the fuel tank should contain no more than

70% ethanol.

E85 has less energy per gallon than gasoline, so you

will need to reﬁll your fuel tank more often when

using E85 than when you are using gasoline. Regular

unleaded gasoline is recommended when pulling a

trailer. For payload capacity with ethanol fuel, see

Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-29.

Notice: Some additives are not compatible with

E85 fuel and may harm your fuel system. Damage

caused by additives would not be covered by

your new vehicle warranty. Do not use additives

with E85 fuel.

Notice: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that

contains methanol. Do not use fuel containing

methanol. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel

system and also damage the plastic and rubber

parts. That damage would not be covered under

your warranty.

Fuels in Foreign Countries

If you plan on driving in another country outside the

United States or Canada, the proper fuel may be hard

to ﬁnd. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel

not recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly

repairs caused by use of improper fuel would not

be covered by your warranty.

To check the fuel availability, ask an auto club, or

contact a major oil company that does business in the

country where you will be driving.
