Setting Preset/Favorite Stations

Note: Engaging in extended searching
for specific audio stations or songs by
using buttons and knobs — or giving
extended attention to entertainment
tasks — can lead you to look away
from the road frequently or longer than
usual. Looking away from the road for
prolonged periods may cause you to
miss seeing things on the road that you
need to see. Be sure to keep your eyes
on the road and mind on the drive —
and avoid engaging in extended
searching for specific items while driving.

bination (AM, FM, or XM, if equipped) of

tions stored on each page.

pages:

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.
The Oil Life System calculates engine oil
life based on vehicle use and displays
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) when it’s
necessary to change your engine oil and
filter. The Oil Life System should be
reset to 100% only following an oil
change.

button until the DIC displays OIL LIFE
REMAINING.
