Fuel grade

Use a high grade fuel with the appro-
priate octane rating as defined by the
particular standards in force in your
country.
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must con-
form with the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A. Refer
2
to the information on "Engine specifica-
tions" in Section 6.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific to the vehicle type. If
you have to replace it, make
sure the new cap is of the
same type. Contact an approved
Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Filling with fuel
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
valve which only allows the nozzle
for unleaded petrol to be used (at the
pump).
– Insert the nozzle as far as it will go
so that the valve is opened.
– Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling opera-
tion.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
