Diesel models

Your vehicle is designed to use only
Diesel Fuel (also known as
Automotive gas oil and Derv).
Your vehicle is not designed to use
RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester). For
more information, ask your dealer.
The quality of diesel fuel (Derv) can
vary in different countries, and only
clean and good quality fuel should be
used.
You need to use the proper fuel for
EN590 and also vary the fuel
depending on the season.
Select the proper fuel according to
the regional or climate condition.
Use of inadequate fuel may reduce
engine power. In this case, the
symbol ''PGM-FI'' may appear on the
multi-information display.
For proper fuel selection, ''DIESEL''
is marked on the fuel fill cap.
