We recommend you use Diesel according to

the engine. To ensure that you can continue
to use your vehicle as usual, the diesel sold in
gas stations is provided -depending on the
station- with fluidity when cold. Ask the em-
ployee of the petrol station whether their die-
sel is suitable for use in winter and if it is suited
for current and future temperatures.
