Petrol
It is important to use the correct fuel during
refuelling. Petrol is available with different
octane ratings that are adapted for different
types of driving.
Only use petrol from well-known producers.
Never use fuel of dubious quality. The petrol
must fulfil the EN 228 standard.
IMPORTANT
Fuel that contains up to 10 percent by
•
volume ethanol is permitted.
EN 228 E10 petrol (max 10 percent by
•
volume ethanol) is approved for use.
Ethanol higher than E10
•
(max. 10 percent by volume ethanol) is
not permitted, e.g. E85 is not permit-
ted.
Octane rating
RON 95 can be used for normal driving.
•
RON 98 is recommended for good power
•
and low fuel consumption.
An octane rating lower than RON 95 must
•
not be used.
When driving in temperatures above +38 °C
(100 °F), fuel with the highest octane rating is
recommended for adapted performance and
fuel economy.
STARTING AND DRIVING
IMPORTANT
Use only unleaded petrol to avoid dam-
•
aging the catalytic converter.
Fuel containing metallic additives must
•
not be used.
Do not use any additives which have
•
not been recommended by Volvo.
