Fuel Recommendation - SSANGYONG 2010 Kyron User Manual

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

Commercially available high-quality fuels are suitable. Fuel
quality has a decisive influence on the power output,
driveability and life of the engine. The additives contained
in the fuel play an important role in this connection. You
should therefore use only high-quality fuels.
Diesel Engine
Use diesel fuel at 50 cetane rating or higher.
Gasoline Engine
Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pre-ignition
(detonation). Ssangyong can not be held liable for resultant
damage.
CAUTION
For correct octane rating setting and other use of gasoline (ex.
Leaded), consult your Ssangyong Dealer.
CAUTION
Engine and exhaust system will be damaged.
• Do not use leaded fuel to the vehicle for unleaded fuel.
• Use the fuel with specified or higher Research Octane Number
recommended for your country by Ssangyong.
It is not covered by warranty.
Do not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be
used in your Kyron. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage components of the fuel system.
NOTE
The warranty policy will not cover damage of the fuel sys-
tem and any performance problems that are caused by the
use of methanol or fuel containing methanol.
Operation in Foreign Countries
If you are going to drive your Kyron in another country, be
sure to:
• Observe all regulations regarding registration and insurance.
• Check that a suitable fuel is available.
Vehicle Fueling from Drums or Storage Con-
tainers
For safety reasons (particularly when using noncommercial
fueling systems) fuel containers, pumps and hoses must
be properly earthed.
Static electricity build up can occur under certain atmospheric
and fuel flow conditions if unearthed hoses, particularly
plastic, are fitted to the fuel dispensing pump.
It is therefore recommended that earthed pumps with inte-
grally earthed hoses be used, and that storage containers
be properly earthed during all noncommercial fueling
operations.
