Your vehicle has a 19.0
gallon (71.9L) fuel tank
capacity. If your vehicle has
a yellow ring around the

only unleaded fuel or fuel
ethanol (E85). For optimal
performance, there are
specific requirements
for flex fuel vehicles.
Refer to the Fuel and
Refueling chapter of
your Owner’s Manual.
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.
