In emergencies, only when the recom-
mended fuel is not available, you may also
use standard unleaded petrol, 91 RON/
82.5 MON. However, using this fuel results
in considerably higher petrol consumption
and significantly reduced performance.
Avoid driving at full throttle, and only drive
in drive program C.
If no fuel other than regular petrol fuel 91
RON/82.5 MON or a lower grade is per-
manently available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel by the
local after-sales service.
