FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE

WARNINGS
Do not mix gasoline with oil, diesel
or other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
Do not use leaded gasoline or
gasoline with additives containing
other metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could damage
the emission system.
Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel.
Note: We do not recommend the use of
additional additives or other engine
treatments for normal vehicle use.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
gasoline that meets the specification
defined by EN 228 or the equivalent
national specification.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanol
blends up to 10% (E5 and E10).

Long-Term Storage

Most gasoline contains ethanol. We
recommend that you fill the fuel tank with
fuel that does not contain ethanol if you
intend to store your vehicle for more than
two months. Alternatively, we recommend
that you seek advice from an authorized
dealer.

Choosing the Right Fuel

E185351
Use only Regular Diesel with a pump
cetane rating of 48 or higher. We
recommend using Premium Diesel with a
cetane rating of 55 or higher for optimal
performance of your vehicle. Premium
Diesel is recommended for severe duty
usage, for example fully loaded or trailer
tow.
The use of diesel with a cetane rating of
47 or lower could lead to engine damage
that may not be covered by the vehicle
Warranty. Some fuel stations offer fuels
posted as Regular Diesel with a cetane
rating below 48, particularly in high altitude
areas. Fuels with cetane rating below 48
are not recommended.
Do not use any fuel other than those
recommended because it could lead to
engine damage that may not be covered
by the vehicle Warranty.
Note: Use of any fuel other than those
recommended can impair the emission
control system and cause a loss of vehicle
performance.
