Fuel additives
Unleaded petrol in accordance with the EN 228 standard
tions for a smooth-running engine. We therefore recommend that no fuel addi-
tives are used. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine or
the exhaust system.
CAUTION
Even filling the tank with leaded petrol that does not meet the standards once
■
can lead to serious damage to parts of the exhaust system!

If a fuel other than unleaded fuel which complies to the above mentioned
■
standards (e.g. leaded petrol) is used by mistake, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition! Extensive damage to engine parts can occur! We recom-
mend that you have the fuel system cleaned by a specialist garage.
CAUTION
If, in an emergency, the vehicle has to be refuelled with petrol of a lower octane
■
number than the one prescribed, the journey must only be continued at medium
engine speeds and a low engine load. Driving at high engine revs or a high engine
load can severely damage the engine! Refuel using petrol of the prescribed oc-
tane number as soon as possible.
Engine parts can be damaged if petrol with a lower octane number than the one
■
prescribed is used.
Even in the event of an emergency, petrol of a lower octane number than 91
■
RON must not be used, otherwise the engine can be severely damaged!
