Question Answer
Can I put E10 or
E85 in my
vehicle, and how
will it affect my
fuel economy?
Your hybrid vehicle can use E10 (10% ethanol, 90%
gasoline) fuel, but you may notice slightly reduced
fuel economy because ethanol contains less energy
per gallon than gasoline. Your hybrid vehicle is not
designed to use E85 (85% ethanol).
How long will my
high voltage
battery last?
Does it need
maintenance?
The high voltage battery system is designed to last
the life of the vehicle and requires no maintenance.
Can you charge
the battery with
a plug into an
A/C outlet?
There are no provisions for charging the high
voltage battery from a power supply external to the
vehicle.
Can I tow the
hybrid behind my
motor home with
all four wheels
down?
Yes. Your hybrid vehicle can be “flat-towed” without
modification. See the Recreational towing section
in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter for more
information.
