Question Answer
How far can I go in Electric Drive
if I run out of gas?
Running out of gas is not
recommended. However, you may
be able to go about one mile,
driving at 30 mph (48 km/h), if the
battery has a normal state of
charge.
What is the engine oil change
service interval?
The engine oil should be changed
every 10,000 miles (16,000 km)
under normal operating conditions.
See the Scheduled maintenance
guide chapter.
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.
