Lead-free petrol

Read and observe on page 96 first.
The vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol that meets the EN 228
standard.
All petrol engines can be operated using petrol that contains at most 10% bio-
ethanol (E10).
Prescribed fuel – unleaded petrol min. 95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON or higher.
If unleaded gasoline is not available with the octane number 95 RON, in an
emergency petrol with the octane rating of 91, 92 and 93 RON can be used to
fill the tank, but this leads to a slight loss of performance and a slightly in-
creased fuel consumption » .
