Federal law requires that
you must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low SulfurHighway Diesel fuel
(15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the use of
Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur
maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions controlsystem. For most year-
round service, No. 2 diesel
fuel meeting ASTM specifi- cation D-975 Grade S15will provide good perfor-
mance. We recommend you useablendofupto5%
biodiesel, meeting ASTM specification D-975 with your diesel engine.
If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below 20°For -7°C), or is required to operate at colder-than-normal conditions for
prolonged periods, use
climatized No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the
No. 2 diesel fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protectionfrom fuel gelling or wax-
plugging of the fuel filter. This vehicle is compatible
with biodiesel blends greater than 5% but no greater than 20% biodiesel meeting
ASTM specification D-7467 provided the shortened
maintenance intervals are followed as directed. 26 Gallons (98.5 Liters)

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS IN THE UNITED STATES
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a collision or cause
injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying the manufacturer.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that
a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your
authorized dealer and the manufacturer.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll free at
1–888–327–4236 (TTY: 1–800–424–9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov; or
write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West Building,
Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle
safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
