Fuel


Introduction
The correct fuel for your vehicle is specified on the inside of the fuel filler flap
» Fig. 302.
The fuel capacity for vehicles with front wheel drive is about 50 litres, and for
vehicles with four-wheel drive about 55 litres, with about 6 litres as reserve.
WARNING
Fuel vapours are explosive - can be fatal!
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of
■
fuel can cause misfiring, which can result in damage to parts of the engine and
the exhaust system.
Immediately remove any fuel that has spilled onto the vehicle's paintwork –
■
risk of paint damage.
If you would like to operate your vehicle in countries other than those with
■
the intended weather conditions, please contact a ŠKODA partner. They will
tell you whether the fuel specified by the manufacturer is offered in the re-
spective country or whether it is permissible to operate the vehicle with an-
other fuel.
