! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
petrol engine. Do not switch on the ignition
if you accidentally refuel with the wrong
fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel

fuel can result in damage to the fuel system
and the engine. Notify a qualified specialist
workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel
lines drained completely.

least 95 RON that conforms to the Euro-

10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle

Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 or
E DIN 51626–1 can lead to increased wear
as well as damage to the engine and
exhaust system.

In some countries, the available petrol
may not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This
