MPG CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE 2008 3.G Owners Manual

Starting
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use
when ambient temperatures fall below 0É F (-18É C). In
the range of 0É F (-18É C) to 32É F (0É C), you may
experience an increase in the time it takes for your engine
to start, and a deterioration in drivability (sags and/or
hesitations) until the engine is fully warmed up.
Cruising Range
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than
gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel con-
sumption. You can expect your miles per gallon (mpg)
and your driving range to decrease by about 30% com-
pared to gasoline operation.
Replacement Parts
Many components in your Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) are
designed to be compatible with ethanol. Always be sure
that your vehicle is serviced with correct ethanol com-
patible parts.
CAUTION!
Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol
compatible components can damage your vehicle.
Maintenance
CAUTION!
Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your
vehicle. It will cause difficulty in cold starting and
may affect drivability.
