Proper Tire Pressure
Check all tires frequently to maintain the
recommended pressure. A Tire and
Loading Information label, located near
the driver’s door latch, shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires when
they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle
has been sitting for at least three hours
or driven no more than one mile.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Service Intervals
Your vehicle’s Oil Life System indicates
the need for engine oil and filter
changes as necessary. Your vehicle
maintenance schedule is now based on
these oil change intervals as called for
by the Oil Life System, not by mileage.
Refer to the recommended maintenance
information in your Owner Manual for
additional details about the maintenance
needed in order for your vehicle to oper-
ate properly.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
FlexFuel (E85) – Yellow Gas Cap
(if equipped)
If your vehicle has a yellow gas cap, it
was engineered as a FlexFuel vehicle
capable of running on gasoline or E85
fuel. E85 is a blend of 85% ethanol and
15% gasoline. E85 is a high-octane,
renewable fuel made primarily from corn
(see livegreengoyellow.com).
Your FlexFuel vehicle automatically
detects the current fuel mixture in the
fuel tank and adjusts engine settings
accordingly. You can fill up with gasoline
or E85, regardless of which fuel is
already in the tank.
E85 is not yet available at all gas sta-
tions. E85 holds less energy per gallon
than gasoline, so drivers will experience
lower miles per gallon and cruising
range when running on E85.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Note:
If your vehicle does not have the
yellow gas cap, do not use E85.
