WARNING
The national legal requirements must be observed if carrying a spare canister
in the vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehi-
cle for safety reasons. in the event of an accident, these canisters can become
damaged and fuel may escape – risk of fire!
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
■
can cause misfiring, which can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Immediately remove any fuel that has spilled onto the vehicle's paintwork – risk
■
of paint damage!
If the vehicle was not purchased in the country where it was intended to be op-
■
erated, you should check whether the fuel specified by the manufacturer is of-
fered in the country where the vehicle will be operated. You should also perhaps
check whether the manufacturer has recommended a different fuel for operation
of the vehicle in the corresponding country. Is this not the case, then you must
check whether it is permitted by the manufacturer to operate the vehicle with an-
other fuel type.
