Engine Compartment - Skoda RAPID 2017 Owner's Manual

Lower than 91 octane petrol should not be used, even in an emergency!
■
If a fuel other than unleaded fuel which complies to the above mentioned
■
standards (e.g. leaded petrol) is put in the tank by mistake, do not start the en-
gine or switch on the ignition.
CAUTION
Petrol additives (additives)
Unleaded petrol complying with the EN 228 standard
■
tions for problem-free engine operation. We therefore do not recommend
mixing fuel additives into the petrol - risk of engine damage or damage to the
exhaust system.
The following additives may not be used - risk of engine damage or dam-
■
age to the exhaust system!
Additives with metal components (metallic additives), in particular with
■
manganese and iron content.
Fuels with metallic content (e.g. LRP - lead replacement petrol).
■
Note
Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by the
■
engine can be used without limitations.
The use of petrol with an octane rating higher than 95 RON does not result
■
in either a noticeable increase in power nor lower fuel consumption in vehicles
for which unleaded petrol 95/min 92 or 93 RON is specified.
On vehicles using the prescribed unleaded petrol of min. 95 RON, the use of
■
petrol with a higher octane number than 95 RON can lead to an increase in
power and reduction in fuel consumption.
