The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles (16 km) or more to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy along with the ethanol content

Note:
If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle trim, the idle
quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle trim is
eventually relearned.

For flexible fuel vehicles, if you are operating on E85, you may
experience poor starts or an inability to start the engine and

the clock and radio settings must be reset once the battery is
reconnected.
