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 5-10.

Notice: Some additives are not compatible with E85

fuel and can harm the vehicle’s fuel system. Do not

add anything to E85. Damage caused by additives

would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

Notice: This 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 the

vehicle 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 the vehicle 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.
