Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded
petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than
95 in compliance with the European Standard

The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to come on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel
conforming to the European specification
EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty.
