& WARNING Risk of fire and explosion due
to electrostatic charge
Electrostatic charge can create sparks and
thereby ignite fuel vapours.
Before you open the fuel filler cap or
#
take hold of the pump nozzle, touch the
metallic vehicle body.
This discharges any electrostatic charge
that may have built up.
Do not get into the vehicle again during
#
the refuelling process.
Otherwise, electrostatic charge could
build up again.
* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel
Vehicles with a petrol engine:
even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system.
Only refuel using unleaded fuel that
#
conforms to EN 228, or an equivalent
specification.
The RON requirement is located in the
#
fuel filler flap.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10 % ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel.
