Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
gasoline that meets the specification
defined by EN 228 or the equivalent
national specification, or regular unleaded
gasoline blended with a maximum of 85%
ethanol (E85).
Do not use any fuel other than those
recommended because they could lead to
engine damage that may not be covered
by the vehicle Warranty.
Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel. Use of any fuel other than
those recommended can impair the
emission control system and cause a loss
of vehicle performance.
Note: When using E85, your vehicle may
have higher fuel consumption.
Do not use:
Diesel fuel.
Fuels containing methanol.
Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
Fuels containing more than 85%
ethanol or E100 fuel.
Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.
Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law).
Note: Flex fuel vehicles can be fueled with
gasoline, ethanol or a mixture of both.
Following a refuel, if the ethanol content
of the fuel is different than what you used
previously, we recommend that you drive
your vehicle immediately for a minimum
of 8 km to adapt to the change in ethanol
concentration.

Fuel and Refueling
The engine control module needs to adapt
to the fuel in the tank, especially when
refueling more than half a tank.
If you do not follow this procedure, you
may experience a minor degradation in
engine starting performance and slight
fluctuations in engine speed at idle. Until
you complete the fuel learning process,
these symptoms may continue.
Long-Term Storage
Most gasoline contains ethanol. We
recommend that you fill the fuel tank with
fuel that contains low ethanol (E10) if you
intend to store your vehicle for more than
two months. Alternatively, we recommend
that you seek advice from an authorized
dealer.
