Fuel and Refueling 155 • Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could lead to permanent injury. • Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is splashed on the skin or clothing, promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation. • Be particularly careful if you are taking Antabuse or other forms of disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors, or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive individuals, serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse reaction. FUEL QUALITY Note: Use of any fuel other than those recommended may cause powertrain damage and a loss of vehicle performance; repairs may not be covered under warranty. Choosing the Right Fuel Use only unleaded fuel or unleaded fuel blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol. Do not use fuel ethanol (E85), diesel fuel, fuel- methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control system. Choosing the Right Fuel With a Flex Fuel Vehicle (If Equipped) Note: If your vehicle is flex fuel capable, it will have a yellow bezel placed over the fuel fill inlet. Flex fuel vehicles are designed to use unleaded gasoline or an ethanol fuel blend that contain up to 85% ethanol. It is also acceptable to use any mixture of unleaded gasoline and ethanol fuel that contains up to 85% ethanol. An ethanol fuel blend that contains 85% ethanol is labeled as E85 at the service station. 2014 MKS (mks) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, April 2013 USA (fus)
