Many service stations will not have an 85% ethanol

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

of Energy has an alternative fuels website

(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. By deﬁnition, this means that fuel labeled E85

will have an ethanol content between 70% and 85%.

Filling the fuel tank with fuel mixtures that do not meet

ASTM speciﬁcations can affect driveability and could

cause the malfunction indicator lamp to come on.

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 could be because the E85 fuel is not

properly formulated for your climate. If this happens,

switching to gasoline or adding gasoline to the fuel tank

can improve starting. 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. It is best

not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85.

If you do switch fuels, it is recommended that you

add as much fuel as possible — do not add less than

three gallons (11 L) when refueling. You should drive the

vehicle immediately after refueling for at least seven

miles (11 km) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the change

in ethanol concentration.

E85 has less energy per gallon than gasoline, so you

will need to reﬁll the fuel tank more often when using

E85 than when you are using gasoline. See Filling the

Tank on page 5-8.

Notice: Some additives are not compatible with

E85 fuel and can harm your vehicle’s fuel system.

Do not add anything to E85. Damage caused by

additives would not be covered by your new vehicle

warranty.

Notice: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that

contains methanol. Do not use fuel containing

methanol. It can corrode metal parts in the fuel

system and also damage 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 might 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.
