TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 313 R EFORMULATED G ASOLINE
Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning gasoline referred to as “reformulated gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and are specifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. Properly blended reformulated gasoline will provide improved performance and durability of engine and fuel system components. M ATERIALS A DDED T O F UEL
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the proper octane rating, gasolines that contain detergents, corrosion and stability additives are recommended. Using gasolines that have these additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and maintain vehicle performance. Designated TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline contains a higher level of detergents to further aide in minimizing engine and fuel system deposits. When available, the usage of TOP TIER Detergent gasoline is of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Retailers. should be avoided. Many of these materials intended for gum and varnish removal may contain active solvents or similar ingredients. These can harm fuel system gasket and diaphragm materials. G ASOLINE /O XYGENATE B LENDS
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxygenates such as ethanol. Problems that result from using gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15) or gasoline containing methanol are not the responsibility of the manufacturer and may void or not be covered under New Vehicle Limited Warranty. D O N OT U SE E-85 I N N ON -F LEX F UEL
V EHICLES Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) are compatible with gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol (E-15). Use of gasoline with higher ethanol content may void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms: Operate in a lean mode. OBD II Malfunction Indicator Light on. Poor engine performance. Poor cold start and cold drivability. Increased risk for fuel system component corrosion. CAUTION! DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing methanol, or gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15). Use of these blends may result in starting and drivability problems, damage critical fuel system components, cause emissions to exceed the applicable standard, and/or cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate. Please observe pump labels as they should clearly communicate if a fuel contains greater than 15% ethanol (E-15). 9 |
