If you have put in fuel that
is wrong for your vehicle,
it is essential to have the
tank drained before you
start the engine.
For petrol engines with catalytic
converter, use of unleaded fuel is
obligatory
The fi ller neck has a narrower orifi ce
to admit only petrol fi ller nozzles.
When you are fi lling your fuel
tank, do not persist after the third
cutoff; this could cause your ve-
hicle to malfunction.UNLEADED PETROL
DIESEL FUEL
Petrol engines are designed to run on RON 95 fuel.
However, for better vehicle perfor-mance (petrol engines), we recom-mend RON 98.
A label on the inside of the fuel fi ll-er fl ap indicates the approved fuel quality type.
FUELBioFlex
Your vehicle has been designed to
operate
equally on unleaded pet-
rol (95 or 98) or on bioethanol (in
Europe this is a mixture of 85 %
ethanol and 15 % unleaded petrol,
known as E85).
A label inside the fuel fi ller fl ap indi-
cates the fuels authorised:
In winter conditions, starting from cold may seem diffi cult. During periods of very cold weather we recommend the use of 95 or 98 unleaded petrol in preference to B85 so as to ensure optimum starting per-formance.
Other than the question of the two authorised fuels, your vehicle is used in the same way as a traditional petrol vehicle.
