FUEL QUALITY

WARNINGS
Do not mix gasoline with oil, diesel
or other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
Do not use leaded gasoline or
gasoline with additives containing
other metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could damage
the emission system.
Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel.
Note: We do not recommend the use of
additional additives or other engine
treatments for normal vehicle use.
The engine in your vehicle has been
optimized for operation using 95 octane
unleaded gasoline that meets the
specification defined by EN 228 or the
equivalent national specification.
The engine in your vehicle can also operate
using 91 octane unleaded gasoline.
However if you choose to do so, you may
notice some minor loss of performance,
economy and increase engine noise.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanol
blends up to 10% (E5 and E10).
Note: Using gasoline containing more than
10% ethanol may damage the engine or
emission system and may affect the vehicle
Warranty.
Note: The use of gasoline containing
ethanol may increase the fuel consumption
of your vehicle.

dealer.

Add a minimum of 5 L of fuel to restart
the engine. If your vehicle is out of fuel
and on a steep slope, more fuel may
be required.
You may need to switch the ignition
from off to on several times after
refueling to allow the fuel system to
pump the fuel from the tank to the
engine. When restarting, cranking time
takes a few seconds longer than
normal.
Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling it.
Do not fill a fuel container when it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).
