REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European
K specification EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving
issues, as well as damage fundamental components of the supply system.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty depending on the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the
required load.
