FUEL REQUIREMENTS    
6.4L Engine
Do not use E-85 flex fuel or ethanol blends greater than 15%
in this engine.
This engines is designed to meet all emissions regu -
lations  and  provide  satisfactory  fuel  economy  and
performance  when  using  high  quality  unleaded
gasoline having a posted octane number range of 87 to 89 as
specified  by  the  (R+M)/2 method.  The  use  of  89  octane
“Plus”  gasoline  is  recommended  for  optimum  performance
and fuel economy. While  operating  on  gasoline  with  an  octane  number  of  87,
hearing a light knocking sound from the engine is not a cause
for concern. However, if the engine is heard making a heavy
knocking  sound,  see  your  dealer  immediately.  Use  of  gaso -
line with  an  octane number  lower than  87  can  cause  engine
failure and  may  void  or not be covered by  the  New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Poor  quality  gasoline  can  cause  problems  such  as  hard
starting,  stalling,  and  hesitations.  If  you  experience  these
symptoms, try another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Reformulated Gasoline     
Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning
gasoline  referred  to  as  “Reformulated  Gasoline”.  Reformu -
lated  gasoline  contains  oxygenates  and  are  specifically
blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
The use of reformulated gasoline is recommended. Properly
blended  reformulated  gasoline  will  provide  improved
performance  and  durability  of  engine  and  fuel  system
components.WARNING!
To  avoid  the  risk  of  forcing  the  vehicle  off  the  jack,  do
not  tighten  the  lug  nuts/bolts  fully  until  the  vehicle  has
been  lowered.  Failure  to  follow  this  warning  may  result
in personal injury.

Materials Added To Fuel  
Besides  using  unleaded  gasoline  with  the  proper  octane
rating,  gasolines  that  contain  detergents,  corrosion  and
stability  additives  are  recommended.  Using  gasolines  that
have these additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce
emissions, and maintain vehicle performance.
Designated TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline contains a
higher  level  of  detergents  to  further  aide  in  mini -
mizing engine and fuel system deposits. When avail -
able,  the  usage  of  TOP  TIER  Detergent  gasoline  is
recommended.  Visit  www.toptiergas.com   for  a  list  of  TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline Retailers.
Indiscriminate use of fuel  system cleaning agents should be
avoided.  Many  of  these  materials  intended  for  gum  and
varnish  removal  may  contain  active  solvents  or  similar
ingredients.  These  can  harm  fuel  system  gasket  and
diaphragm materials. Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends  
Some  fuel  suppliers  blend  unleaded  gasoline  with  oxygen -
ates such as ethanol.
Problems  that  result  from  using  gasoline  containing  more
than 15% ethanol (E-15) or gasoline containing methanol are
not  the  responsibility  of  the  manufacturer  and  may  void  or
not be covered under New Vehicle Limited Warranty. CAUTION!
DO  NOT  use  E-85,  gasoline  containing  methanol,  or
gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15). Use of
these  blends  may  result  in  starting  and  drivability
problems, damage critical fuel system components, cause
emissions  to  exceed  the  applicable  standard,  and/or
cause  the  Malfunction  Indicator  Light  to  illuminate.
Please  observe  pump  labels  as  they  should  clearly
communicate  if  a fuel  contains  greater  than  15%  ethanol
(E-15).

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 481
(Continued)Do Not Use E-85 In Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles
Non-Flex  Fuel  Vehicles  (FFV)  are  compatible  with  gasoline
containing  up  to  15%  ethanol  (E-15).  Use  of  gasoline  with
higher  ethanol  content  may  void  the  New  Vehicle  Limited
Warranty.
If  a  Non-FFV  vehicle is  inadvertently  fueled with  E-85 fuel,
the engine will have some or all of these symptoms:
• Operate in a lean mode.
• OBD II Malfunction Indicator Light on.
• Poor engine performance.
• Poor cold start and cold drivability.
• Increased risk for fuel system component corrosion.
CNG And LP Fuel System Modifications
Modifications  that  allow  the  engine  to  run  on  Compressed
Natural  Gas  (CNG)  or  Liquid  Propane  (LP)  may  result  in
damage  to  the  engine,  emissions,  and  fuel  system  compo -
nents. Problems that result from running CNG or LP are not
the  responsibility  of  the  manufacturer  and  may  void  or  not
be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. MMT In Gasoline
Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl (MMT) is a
manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into
some  gasoline  to  increase  octane.  Gasoline  blended  with
MMT  provides  no  performance  advantage  beyond  gasoline
of the same octane number without MMT. Gasoline blended
with  MMT  reduces  spark  plug  life  and  reduces  emissions
system  performance  in  some  vehicles.  The  manufacturer
recommends  that  gasoline  without  MMT  be  used  in  your
vehicle.  The  MMT content of  gasoline may not be indicated
on the gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask your gaso -
line  retailer  whether  the  gasoline  contains  MMT.  MMT  is
prohibited in Federal and California reformulated gasoline.
Fuel System Cautions
CAUTION!
Follow  these  guidelines  to  maintain  your  vehicle’s
performance:
• The  use  of  leaded  gasoline  is  prohibited  by  Federal
law.  Using  leaded  gasoline  can  impair  engine  perfor -
mance and damage the emissions control system. 8

NOTE:
Intentional tampering with the emissions control system can
result in civil penalties being assessed against you. Carbon Monoxide Warnings  
• An  out-of-tune  engine  or  certain  fuel  or  ignition
malfunctions  can  cause  the  catalytic  converter  to  over -
heat.  If  you  notice  a  pungent  burning  odor  or  some
light  smoke,  your  engine  may  be  out  of  tune  or
malfunctioning  and  may  require  immediate  service.
Contact an authorized dealer for service assistance.
• The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as
octane  enhancers,  is  not  recommended.  Most  of  these
products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel
system  damage  or  vehicle  performance  problems
resulting  from the use of  such  fuels or  additives is not
the responsibility of the manufacturer and may void or
not  be  covered  under  the  New  Vehicle  Limited
Warranty. CAUTION!  (Continued)
WARNING!
Carbon  monoxide  (CO)  in  exhaust  gases  is  deadly.
Follow  the  precautions  below  to  prevent  carbon
monoxide poisoning:
• Do  not  inhale  exhaust  gases.  They  contain  carbon
monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill.
Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage,
and  never  sit  in  a  parked  vehicle  with  the  engine
running  for  an  extended  period.  If  the  vehicle  is
stopped  in  an  open  area  with  the  engine  running  for
more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system
to force fresh, outside air into the vehicle.
• Guard  against  carbon  monoxide  with  proper  mainte -
nance.  Have  the  exhaust  system  inspected  every  time
the  vehicle  is  raised.  Have  any  abnormal  conditions
repaired  promptly.  Until  repaired,  drive  with  all  side
windows fully open.
