Information
Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional fuels blended with alcohol or
an ether compound are available in some locales
to help reduce emissions to meet clean air
standards. These gasolines are collectively
referred to as oxygenated fuels. If you plan to
use oxygenated fuel, check that it is unleaded
and meets the minimum octane rating and blend
requirement.
The following fuel blends have been approved
for use in your vehicle:
● Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) up to 10% by volume.
u Gasoline containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name Gasohol.
● Do not use gasoline containing methanol
(methyl alcohol).
If you accidentally fill your fuel tank with an
oxygenated fuel containing higher percentages,
you may experience performance problems. To
resolve the problem, have your dealer drain the
fuel tank and replace with the correct fuel. Fuel
system or performance problems resulting from
the use of an oxygenated fuel containing higher
percentages are not covered by your warranty.
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms or performance problems, try a
different brand of gasoline.
NOTICE
Improper use of oxygenated fuels can damage metal,
rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.
Oxygenated fuel can also damage paint. Damage caused
by spilled fuel is not covered by warranty.
