OWNER'S MANUAL CORRECTION -- ETHANOL (E85) FUEL USAGE

Dear Chrysler Minivan Owner:

The satisfaction of our customers is very important to Chrysler. Because of this, owners of 1998 Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan; Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager; and Chrysler Town & Country minivans are being provided with an Owner's Manual Addendum card.

A paragraph was inadvertently omitted from your vehicle's Owner's Manual. This omission makes it appear that all 1998 Chrysler minivans are capable of operating on ethanol (E85) fuel. This is incorrect. Only minivans equipped with a 3.3L V-6 engine and a Federal emission control system can be operated on E85. These vehicles can be identified by the label ETHANOL (E85) OR UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY" on the fuel filler door. Use of E85 in vehicles not designed to use E85 may cause fuel system damage and poor driveability.

Please retain the addendum card for future reference. We suggest that you staple it to the appropriate page (listed on the addendum) of your Owner's Manual that is located in the glove box of your vehicle.

Thanks for your attention to this important matter.
