Applicable to certain variants.
Diesel
It is important to use the correct fuel during
refuelling. Diesel is available in different quali-
ties adapted to different conditions.
Only use diesel fuel from well-known produc-
ers. Never use fuel of dubious quality. Diesel
fuel must fulfil the EN 590 or SS 155435
standard. Paraffinic diesel (HVO, XTL) accord-
ing to the EN 15940 standard can be used.
Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants
in the fuel, such as excessively high volumes
of sulphur and metals.
Identifier
Decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
The identifier in accordance with the CEN
standard EN16942 is located on the inside of
the fuel filler flap, and will be on corresponding
STARTING AND DRIVING
fuel pumps and their nozzles at filling stations
throughout Europe by 12 October 2018 at the
latest.
This is the identifier that applies for current
standard fuel in Europe. Diesel with the fol-
lowing identifiers may be used in cars with
diesel engine:
B7 is diesel with maximum
7 volume % fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME).
At low temperatures (lower than 0 °C (32 °F))
a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel
fuel, which may lead to starting problems. The
fuel qualities that are sold must be adapted for
season and climate zone, but for extreme
weather conditions, old fuel or moving
between climate zones, paraffin precipitate
may occur.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is
reduced if the tank is kept well filled.
