Many components in you r Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) are
designed to be compatible with ethanol. Alw ays be sure
that you r vehicle is serviced with correct ethanol com-
patible parts.
Starting
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsu itable for use
when ambient tem peratu res fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the
range of 0°F to 32°F (-18°C to 0°C), you may experience
an increase in the time it takes for you r engine to start,
and a deterioration in drivability (sags and / or hesita-
tions) until the engine is fully warm ed up.
CAUTIO N!
Rep lacin g fuel system components with non-eth anol
compatib le components can damage you r veh icle
and may void the warran ty.
Cruising Range
Maintenance
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than
gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel con-
sumption. You can expect you r MPG and you r driving
range to decrease by abou t 30% compared to gasoline
operation.
If you operate the vehicle using E-85 fuel, follow Sched -
ule B in the maintenance sched ule section of this manu al.
CAUTIO N!
Do not use eth anol mixtu re greater than 85% in you r
veh icle. It will cause difficu lty in cold startin g and
may affect driveab ility.
