Fuel - bioethanol E85

Bioetanol E85 is used as the fuel for the car's
engine.
Do not modify the fuel system or its compo-
nents, and do not replace components with
parts that are not specifically designed for
use with bioethanol.
WARNING
Methanol must not be used. A decal on
the inside of the fuel filler flap shows the
correct alternative fuel.
The use of components not designed for
bioethanol engines could cause fire, injury
or engine damage.
Reserve fuel can
The reserve fuel can should be filled with pet-
rol. For more information, see Starting the
engine – Flexifuel (p. 256).
IMPORTANT
Make sure the reserve fuel can is securely
fastened and that its cap is sealed.
WARNING
Ethanol is sensitive to sparks, and explo-
sive gases could form in the reserve fuel
can if it is refuelled with ethanol.
