Additive quality
Use only additives which conform
to standard ISO 22241 and in accor-
dance with the label on the fuel filler
flap.
Average fuel consumption
Approximately 807 mpg
(3.5 l/1,000 km) depending on the vehi-
cle and the driving style.
The additive must not come
into contact with eyes or
skin. If it does, wash the af-
fected area with plenty of

ADDITIVE TANK (2/4)
Precautions for use
Always read the information on the ad-
ditive can.
Handle additives with care. They can
damage clothes, shoes, bodywork
components etc.
If the additive overflows, or contami-
nates any paintwork, clean the affected
area quickly with a damp cloth.
In extreme cold weather conditions
The vehicle is fitted with a system for
reheating the additive fluid that enables
you to drive in extreme cold weather
conditions.
Precautions when filling the tank
The additive fluid freezes below about
-10°C.
In this case, do not attempt filling when
the fluid is frozen.
It is therefore advisable to top up the
additive fluid or have it topped up by a
qualified professional as soon as the
 warning light on the instrument
panel first comes on.
