SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel
nozzle stops the second time.
Additional fuel will fill the expansion
space in the fuel tank which could
lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage
could be hazardous to other road
users.
Do not use any kind of flames
or heat near the fuel system.
The fuel system is under pressure.
There is a risk of injury if the fuel
system is leaking.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL

Note: We recommend that you use
only high quality fuel without additives
or other engine treatments.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or
petrol with additives containing
other metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could
damage the emission system.
Use minimum 95 octane
unleaded petrol that meets the
specification defined by EN 228, or
equivalent.
