Only refuel with low-sulfur unleaded
#
fuel.

volume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with
E10 fuel.

If you have accidentally refueled with the
wrong fuel:
Do not switch the ignition on.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐
fur, this can produce unpleasant odors.
Only refuel with fuel that has at least the octane
number specified in the information label in the
fuel filler flap ( page 172). Otherwise, engine
/
output can be reduced and fuel consumption
increased.
If you want maximum engine output: only
refuel with unleaded premium grade gasoline
with an octane number of at least 91 AKI/
95 RON.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also refuel with
unleaded regular gasoline with at least 87 AKI/
91 RON. This may reduce engine output and
increase fuel consumption.
