Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Refuelling
Lead-free petrol
Diesel fuel
The correct fuel grades for your vehicle are specified on the inside of the fuel
filler flap » Fig. 143 on page 148.
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of
■
fuel can cause misfiring, which can result in damage to parts of the engine and
the exhaust system.
Immediately remove any fuel that has spilled onto the vehicle's paintwork –
■
there is a risk of paint damage.
If the vehicle was not purchased in the country in which it was intended to
■
be operated, you should check whether the fuel specified by the manufacturer
is offered in the country where the vehicle will be operated. You should also
perhaps check whether the manufacturer has recommended a different fuel
for operation of the vehicle in the country concerned. If no prescribed fuel is
available, then you must check whether it is permitted by the manufacturer to
operate the vehicle with another fuel type.
