SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing. Fuel spillage could be
hazardous to other road users.
Do not use any kind of flames or
heat near the fuel system. The fuel
system is under pressure. There is
a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL

Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel without additives or other
engine treatments.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol
with additives containing other
metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could damage
the emission system.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
petrol that meets the specification defined
by EN 228, or equivalent.
FUEL QUALITY - FLEXIBLE

Note: When using bio ethanol E 85, you
may experience a higher fuel
consumption.
Note: The correct fuel type for your
vehicle is shown on a decal on the inside
of the fuel filler flap.
Note: Your vehicle will operate well on
commercial quality 95 octane unleaded
petrol, but only high quality bio ethanol E
85 offers the same protection and
performance.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
petrol that meets the specification defined
by EN 228, or equivalent. You can also
use a mixture of unleaded petrol and bio
ethanol E 85.
Long-term storage
Due to small amounts of corrosive
impurities that may be found in the bio
ethanol E 85, it is recommended that you
fill the tank with only 95 octane unleaded
petrol prior to long-term storage of your
vehicle.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
