Unleaded petrol

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 190.
Your vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol complying with the
EN 228 standard (in Germany also DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of 95 RON and 91 RON or DIN 51626-2 or E5 for unleaded petrol
with an octane rating 95 RON and 98 RON).
Prescribed fuel - unleaded fuel 95/91 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON. Unleaded petrol 91 RON can al-
so be used but results in a slight loss in performance.
Prescribed fuel - unleaded petrol min. 95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON.
In case of necessity, you can refuel with petrol with the octane rating 91 RON if
petrol with the octane rating 95 RON is not available.
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!
Unleaded petrol with higher octane number
Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by the en-
gine can be used without limitations.
On vehicles with prescribed unleaded petrol 95/91 RON, the use of petrol with a
higher octane number than 95 RON does not result in a noticeable power in-
crease or a lower fuel consumption.
On vehicles using prescribed unleaded petrol of min. 95 RON, the use of petrol
with a higher octane number than 95 RON can increase the power and reduce
fuel consumption.
Prescribed fuel - unleaded fuel 98/95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 98 RON. Unleaded petrol 95 RON can
also be used but results in a slight loss in performance.
In case of necessity, you can refuel with petrol with the octane rating91 RON of
unleaded fuel with octane rating 98 RON or 95 RON is not available.
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!
Fuel additives
Only use unleaded petrol, which complies with the standard EN 228 (in Germany:
standard DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 95 RON
and 91 RON or DIN 51626-2 or E5 for unleaded fuel with an octane rating of
95 RON and 98 RON), as these meet all of the requirements for fault-free engine
operation. We therefore recommend that no fuel additives are used.
CAUTION
All ŠKODA vehicles with petrol engines must only be operated with unleaded
■
petrol. Just filling the tank with leaded petrol once will damage the exhaust sys-
tem!
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.
In no case may fuel additives with metal components be used, especially not
■
with manganese and iron content. Do not use any LRP (lead replacement petrol)
fuels with metal constituents – risk of serious damage to parts of the engine or
the exhaust system.
Do not use any fuels with metal constituents – risk of serious damage to parts
■
of the engine or the exhaust system.
The use of unsuitable fuel additives can cause considerable damage to parts of
■
the engine or the exhaust system.
Diesel fuel

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 190.
Your vehicle can only be operated with diesel fuel complying with the EN 590
standard (in Germany DIN 51628, in Austria ÖNORM C 1590, in Russia GOST R
52368-2005 / EN 590:2004).
All diesel engines can be operated with diesel fuel with a maximum content of
7 % bio-fuel (B7), which complies with the standard DIN 52638 in Germany (in
Austria C 1590, in France EN 590).
