Unleaded petrol

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 204.
Your vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol in compliance with the
EN 228 standard.
1)
All petrol engines can be operated using petrol that contains at most 10% bioe-
thanol (E10).
Required fuel - unleaded petrol 95/91 or 92 or 93 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON. Unleaded petrol with the oc-
tane ratings 91, 92 or 93 RON can also be used, but may result in a slight loss in
performance.
Prescribed fuel - unleaded petrol min. 95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON or higher.
In case of necessity, you can refuel with petrol with the octane ratings 91, 92 or
93 RON, if petrol with the octane rating 95 RON is not available
Prescribed fuel - unleaded fuel 98/95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 98 RON or higher. Unleaded petrol
95 RON can also be used but results in a slight loss in performance.
In case of necessity, you can refuel with petrol with the octane ratings 91, 92 or
93 RON, if unleaded fuel with octane rating 98 RON or 95 RON is not availa-
ble » .
Fuel additives
Unleaded petrol in accordance with the EN 228 standard
tions for a smooth-running engine. We therefore recommend that no fuel addi-
tives are used. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine or
the exhaust system.
1)
In Germany also DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded petrol with octane number 91 or 95 or DIN 51626-2
or E5 for unleaded petrol with octane number 95 and 98.
Even filling the tank with leaded petrol that does not meet the standards once
■
can lead to serious damage to parts of the exhaust system!

If a fuel other than unleaded fuel which complies to the above mentioned
■
standards (e.g. leaded petrol) is used by mistake, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition! Extensive damage to engine parts can occur! We recom-
mend that you have the fuel system cleaned by a specialist garage.
If, in an emergency, the vehicle has to be refuelled with petrol of a lower octane
■
number than the one prescribed, the journey must only be continued at medium
engine speeds and a low engine load. Driving at high engine revs or a high engine
load can severely damage the engine! Refuel using petrol of the prescribed oc-
tane number as soon as possible.
Engine parts can be damaged if petrol with a lower octane number than the one
■
prescribed is used.
Even in the event of an emergency, petrol of a lower octane number than 91
■
RON must not be used, otherwise the engine can be severely damaged!
In no case may fuel additives with metal components be used, especially not
■
with manganese and iron content. LRP(lead replacement petrol) fuels with metal-
» .
lic components may not be used. There is a risk of causing considerable damage
to parts of the engine or exhaust system!
Fuels with metallic content may not be used. There is a risk of causing consider-
■
able damage to parts of the engine or exhaust system!
