Additives - SMART 2016 fortwo Owner's Manual

!
Only use the fuel recommended. Operating
the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
!
Do not use the following:
E85 (gasoline with 85% ethanol)
R
E100 (100% ethanol)
R
M15 (gasoline with 15% methanol)
R
M30 (gasoline with 30% methanol)
R
M85 (gasoline with 85% methanol)
R
M100 (100% methanol)
R
Gasoline with metalliferous additives
R
Diesel
R
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle. Do not use addi-
tives. Engine failure may otherwise occur.
This does not include cleaning additives
for the removal and prevention of residue
build-up. Gasoline must only be mixed with
cleaning additives recommended by smart
(see "Additives"). For further information
inquire at any smart center.
!
To ensure the longevity and full perform-
ance of the engine, only premium-grade
unleaded gasoline must be used.
If standard unleaded gasoline is unavail-
able and you have to refuel with unleaded
gasoline of a lower grade, observe the fol-
lowing precautions:
Only fill the fuel tank to half full with
R
regular unleaded gasoline and fill the
rest with premium-grade unleaded gas-
oline as soon as possible.
Do not drive at the maximum speed.
R
Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
R
speeds over 3,000 rpm.
You will usually find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the pump, ask the staff for assis-
tance.

For further information, consult a quali-
fied specialist workshop or on the Internet

E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is E10-compatible. You can
refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine per-
Service products and filling capacities
formance and increase fuel consumption.
Avoid driving at full throttle and sudden
acceleration. Never refuel using fuel with a
lower octane rating.

Additives

!
Operating the engine with subsequently
added fuel additives can lead to engine
damage. Do not mix any fuel additives with
the fuel. This does not include additives
for the removal and prevention of residue
buildup. Gasoline must only be mixed with
additives recommended by smart. Comply
with the instructions for use on the product
label. For further information on recom-
mended additives, inquire at any smart
center.
smart recommends that you use fuel brands
that have additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some
countries may not be sufficient. Residue
could build up in the fuel injection system as
a result. In this case, in consultation with a
smart center, the gasoline may be mixed with
the cleaning additive recommended by smart.
You must observe the notes and mixing ratios
specified on the container.
Fuel consumption information
H
Environmental note
CO (carbon dioxide) is the gas which sci-
2
entists believe to be principally respon-
sible for global warming (the greenhouse
effect). Your vehicle's CO
directly related to fuel consumption and
therefore depend on:
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as
R
environmental influences, road condi-
tions or traffic flow
You can minimize your vehicle's CO
sions by driving carefully and having it
serviced regularly.
