FUEL REQUIREMENTS — 
GASOLINE ENGINE  
1.4L Turbo Gasoline Engine
This engine is designed to meet all emission
regulations  and  provide  satisfactory  fuel
economy  and  performance  when  using
high-quality  unleaded  gasoline  having  a
minimum  research  octane  rating  (RON)  of
95.  For  optimum  performance  and  fuel
economy  the  use  of  minimum  research
octane rating (RON) of 98 or higher is recom-
mended. Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your  engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and  immediate service is required.
Poor  quality  gasoline  can  cause  problems
such  as  hard  starting,  stalling,  and  hesita
-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Poor  quality  gasoline  can  cause  problems
such  as  hard  starting,  stalling,  and  hesita -
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Ethanol
The  manufacturer  recommends  that  your
vehicle  be  operated  on  fuel  containing  no
more  than  10%  ethanol.  Purchasing  your
fuel  from  a  reputable  supplier  may  reduce
the risk of exceeding this 10% limit and/or of
receiving fuel with abnormal properties.
Materials Added To Fuel  
Indiscriminate  use  of  fuel  system  cleaning
agents  should  be  avoided.  Many  of  these
materials  intended  for  gum  and  varnish
removal  may  contain  active  solvents  or
similar  ingredients.  These  can  harm  fuel
system gasket and diaphragm materials.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends  
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline
with oxygenates such as ethanol.
 CAUTION!
Do  not  load  your  vehicle  any  heavier  than
the  GVWR  or  the  maximum  front  and  rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break,  or  it  can  change  the  way  your
vehicle  handles.  This  could  cause  you  to
lose  control.  Also  overloading  can  shorten
the  life  of  your  vehicle.  Never  exceed  the
maximum  combined  vehicle  load  value:
the maximum towable load is only allowed
if  it  does  not  exceed  the  maximum
combined vehicle load.
 CAUTION!
Use  of  fuel  with  Ethanol  content  higher
than  10%  may  result  in  engine
malfunction,  starting  and  operating
difficulties,  and  materials  degradation.
These  adverse  effects  could  result  in
permanent damage to your vehicle.
 CAUTION!
DO  NOT  use  E-85,  gasoline  containing
methanol,  or  gasoline  containing  more
than  15%  ethanol  (E-15).  Use  of  these
blends  may  result  in  starting  and
drivability  problems,  damage  critical  fuel
system  components,  cause  emissions  to
exceed  the  applicable  standard,  and/or
cause  the  Malfunction  Indicator  Light  to
illuminate. Please observe pump  labels  as
they  should  clearly  communicate  if  a  fuel
contains greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).

Problems  that  result  from  using  gasoline
containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15) or
gasoline  containing  methanol  are  not  the
responsibility  of  the  manufacturer  and  may

Fuel System CautionsNOTE:
Intentional  tampering  with  the  emissions
control  system  can  result  in  civil  penalties
being assessed against you.
Carbon Monoxide Warnings  
FUEL REQUIREMENTS — 
DIESEL ENGINE 
Diesel Engine
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable
supplier.  If  the  outside  temperature  is  very
low,  the  diesel  fuel  thickens  due  to  the
formation  of  paraffin  clots  with  consequent
defective  operation  of  the  fuel  supply
system.
In  order  to  avoid  these  problems  different
types of fuel are distributed according to the
season: summer type, winter type and arctic
type  (cold/mountain  areas).  If  fueling  with
diesel  fuel  whose  features  are  not  suitable
for the temperature of use, it is advisable to
mix in a suitable additive with the fuel. With
the proportions shown on the container, pour
the additive in the tank before fueling.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long
time  in  the  mountains  or  cold  areas,  it  is
advisable  to  refuel  using  locally  available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over half full.
 CAUTION!
Follow  these  guidelines  to  maintain  your
vehicle’s performance:
The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited
by law. Using leaded gasoline can impair
engine  performance  and  damage  the
emissions control system.
An  out-of-tune  engine  or  certain  fuel  or
ignition  malfunctions  can  cause  the
catalytic  converter  to  overheat.  If  you
notice  a  pungent  burning  odor  or  some
light  smoke,  your  engine  may  be  out  of
tune or malfunctioning  and  may require
immediate  service.  Contact  an  autho-
rized dealer for service assistance.
The use of fuel additives, which are now
being  sold  as  octane  enhancers,  is  not
recommended.  Most  of  these  products
contain  high  concentrations  of  meth-
anol.  Fuel  system  damage  or  vehicle
performance problems resulting from the
use of such  fuels or additives is not the
responsibility  of  the  manufacturer  and
may  void  or  not  be  covered  under  the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
 WARNING!
Carbon monoxide  (CO)  in  exhaust gases  is
deadly.  Follow  the  precautions  below  to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
Do  not  inhale  exhaust  gases.  They
contain  carbon  monoxide,  a  colorless
and  odorless  gas,  which  can  kill.  Never
run the engine in a closed area, such as
a  garage,  and  never  sit  in  a  parked
vehicle  with  the  engine  running  for  an
extended  period.  If  the  vehicle  is
stopped in an open area with the engine
running  for  more  than  a  short  period,
adjust  the  ventilation  system  to  force
fresh, outside air into the vehicle.
Guard  against  carbon  monoxide  with
proper  maintenance.  Have  the  exhaust
system inspected every time the vehicle
is raised. Have any abnormal conditions
repaired  promptly.  Until  repaired,  drive
with all side windows fully open.

This  vehicle  must  only  use  premium  diesel
fuel that meets the requirements of EN 590.
Biodiesel  blends  up  to  7%  that  meet  EN
590 may also be used.Diesel  fuel  is  seldom  completely  free  of
water.  To  prevent  fuel  system trouble,  drain
the  accumulated  water  from  the  fuel/water
separator  using  the  provided  fuel/water
separator  drain. If you buy good quality fuel
and  follow  the  cold  weather  advice  above,
fuel  conditioners  should  not  be  required  in
your vehicle. If available in your area, a high
cetane  “premium”  diesel  fuel  may  offer
improved  cold-starting  and  warm-up  perfor

 WARNING!
Do  not  use  alcohol  or  gasoline  as  a
fuel-blending agent. They can  be unstable
under certain conditions and  hazardous  or
explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.

 CAUTION!
Mixing  of  engine  coolant  (antifreeze)
other  than  specified  Organic  Additive
Technology  (OAT)  engine  coolant  (anti -
freeze),  may  result  in  engine  damage
and  may  decrease  corrosion  protection.
Organic  Additive  Technology  (OAT)
engine  coolant  is  different  and  should
not be mixed with Hybrid Organic  Addi -
tive  Technology  (HOAT)  engine  coolant
(antifreeze) or any “globally compatible”
coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine
coolant  (antifreeze)  is  introduced  into
the cooling system in an emergency, the
cooling  system  will  need  to  be  drained,
flushed,  and  refilled  with  fresh  OAT
coolant  (conforming  to  MS.90032),  by
an authorized dealer as soon as possible.Do not use water alone or alcohol-based
engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do
not use additional rust inhibitors or anti -
rust  products,  as  they  may  not  be
compatible  with  the  radiator  engine
coolant and may plug the radiator.
This  vehicle  has  not  been  designed  for
use  with  propylene  glycol-based  engine
coolant  (antifreeze).  Use  of  propylene
glycol-based  engine  coolant  (antifreeze)
is not recommended.
The use of products with different spec-
ifications  than  those  indicated  above
could cause damage to the engine that is
not covered by the warranty.
 CAUTION! (Continued)
Use AdBlue®  only according to DIN  70
070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids may
cause  damage  to  the  system:  also
exhaust  emissions  would  no  longer
comply with the law.
The  distribution  companies  are  respon -
sible for the compliance of their product.
Observe  the  precautions  of  storage  and
servicing, in order to preserve the initial
qualities.  The  manufacturer  of  the
vehicle does not recognize any guarantee
in  case  of  malfunctions  and  damage
caused  to  the  vehicle  due  to  the  use  of
AdBlue® not in accordance with regula-
tions.
