premium grade petrol with at lea st95 RON.
In exc eptional cases, if there commended fuel is
not available, you may also use regular unleaded
petrol with an octane number of at least 91RON.
This may reduce engine output and increase fuel
consum ption.
If only regular unleaded petrol with 91RON or
lo we r is permanently available toyou, you must
ta ke your vehicle toaqu alified specialist work‐
