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

CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with
additives containing other metallic
compounds (e.g. manganese-based).
They could damage the emission system.

high quality fuel without additives or other
engine treatments.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol
that meets the specification defined by EN
228, or the equivalent national
specification.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanol
blends up to 10% (E5 and E10).

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or
