Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with DIN EN 228.
Fuels with ethanol content greater
than 5% may only be used if the
vehicle has been specifically
developed and approved for these
fuels.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating 3 132. Use of fuel with
too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly
increases fuel consumption.
If the RON 95 label is attached to the
tank flap, unleaded fuel with an
octane rating of 95 or higher must be
used.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled
combustion and engine damage.
Driving and operating

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies
with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have
low sulphur content (max. 50 ppm).
Equivalent standardised fuels with
a biodiesel (= FAME according to
EN14214) content of max. 7% by
volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent
standards) may be used.
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating
oils or entirely or partially plant-based
diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or
bio diesel, Aquazole and similar
diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels
must not be diluted with fuels for
petrol engines.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuel
are temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with
diesel fuel with guaranteed winter
properties.
