Closing the fuel tank cap
After refueling, turn the fuel tank
cap until you hear a click. Once
the cap is released, it will turn
slightly in the opposite direction.
Hang the fuel tank cap on the
back of the fuel filler door.STEP3
■Fuel types (Gasoline engine)
Use unleaded gasoline. (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number 91] or
higher)
■ Fuel types (Flex-fuel engine)
Use unleaded gasoline (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number 91] or
higher), E85, or a blend of these two fuels. ( P. 484)
■ Fuel tank capacity
Approximately 17.0 gal. (64.35 L, 14.2 Imp.gal.)

■Identifying flex-fuel vehicles
■ E85 Fueling Stations (Flex-fuel vehicles)
E85 fueling stations and fuel pumps can be identified by the indication “E85
85% Ethanol”. For more information about fueling stations, please refer to
the U.S. Department of Energy Web site.
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/
■ Refueling (Flex-fuel vehicles)
Do not alternate between unleaded gasoline and E85 if possible. The driving
performance may not be ensured while the computer is reading the ethanol
concentration.
Observe the following precautions when switching fuels, in order to maintain
starting and driving performance.
●Do not change fuels when the fuel level is 1/4 or less.
● Always add at least 5.0 gal. (18.9 L) of fuel.
● After refueling, drive at a normal speed to warm up the engine until the
engine coolant temperature gauge reaches more than half.
● Do not depress the accelerator pedal rapidly immediately after refueling.
To ensure the driving performance, use the regular unleaded gasoline if pos-
sible when driving short distances often.
■ E85 fuel (Flex-fuel vehicles)
P. 485
Flex-fuel vehicles can be identified by the
fuel tank cap, which is marked “FLEX-
FUEL E85/GASOLINE”.

NOTICE
■Refueling
●Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the exhaust systems
to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehi-
cle's painted surface.
● Do not continue adding fuel after the automatic shut off function is oper-
ated if it is equipped on the gasoline pump. The sensor in the fuel tank
may misjudge the amount of fuel remaining.
■ E85 fuel
E85 fuel can be used only in flex-fuel vehicles. Do not add E85 fuel to a gas-
oline-engine vehicle.
Filling a gasoline-engine vehicle with E85 will have a negative impact on
starting and driving performance and will cause damage to the fuel system
components.

the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch has been turned off to
indicate that the system is
operating.
The indicator light stops flash-
ing after the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch has been turned
to ACCESSORY or IGNITION
ON mode to indicate that the
system has been canceled.
