Your vehicle has a 18.6 gallon (70.4L)
fuel tank capacity. If your vehicle has
a yellow ring around the fuel inlet, you
have a flex fuel vehicle and should use
only unleaded fuel and fuel ethanol (E85).
Non-flex fuel vehicles use only “Regular”
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels
because your vehicle was not designed
to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
