Refuelling - Skoda YETI - 11-2009 Owner's Manual

It is therefore the case that EN 590 prescribes diesel fuel class for certain periods of the
year which can also be purchased at the corresponding time during the year. "Winter-
grade diesel fuel" will still operate properly even at a temperature of -20°C.
It is often the case in countries with different climatic conditions that diesel fuels avail-
able have a different temperature characteristic. The authorised Škoda Service Part-
ners and filling stations in the country concerned will be able to provide you with infor-
mation regarding the diesel fuels available.
Prewarming fuel
The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter prewarming system. This secures operation of a
vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of -25°C.
Caution
It is not permitted to add the various fuel additives on the market, including petrol, to
diesel fuel in order to improve its flow properties.
