Introduction
Biodiesel (Except New Zealand/
Thailand/Indonesia/Malaysia)
Commercially supplied diesel blends of
no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 diesel" may be used in
your vehicle if biodiesel meets EN 14214
or equivalent specifications. (EN stands
for "European Norm"). The use of biofu-
els exceeding 7% made from rapeseed
methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding 7%
with biodiesel will cause increased wear
or damage to the engine and fuel sys-
tem. Repairs or replacement of worn or
damaged components due to the use of
fuels not in our recommendations will
not be covered by your vehicle warranty.
CAUTION
僅 Never use any fuel, whether diesel or
B7 biodiesel or otherwise, that fails to
meet the latest petroleum industry
specification. (if equipped)
僅 Never use any fuel additives or treat-
ments that are not recommended or
approved by the vehicle manufac-
turer. (if equipped)
