Incorrect refuelling guard on vehicles with diesel engines
The fuel filler tube on vehicles with diesel engines can be fitted with an incor-
rect refuelling guard » Fig. 316.
If the diesel pump nozzle does not sit directly in the fuel filler tube, move it to
and fro with slight pressure to insert it correctly.
The diameter of the diesel pump nozzle can be identical to that of the petrol
pump nozzle in some countries. When driving in these countries, the incorrect
fuelling protection should be removed by a specialist company.
Unleaded petrol
Read and observe
and on page 264 first.
The correct grades of fuel for your vehicle are stated on a sticker affixed to theinside of the fuel filler flap » Fig. 314 on page 264 .
The vehicle can only be operated using unleaded petrol that complies with the
standard EN 2281)
contains and maximum 10% bioethanol (E10).
Prescribed fuel 95 / min. 92 and 93 RON/ROZ
We recommend using petrol 95 RON.
Optionally, the petrol 92 or. 93 RON can be used (slight power loss, a slightly
increased fuel consumption).
In an emergency petrol 91 RON can be used (slight power loss, slightly in-
creased fuel consumption) »
.
Unleaded petrol min. 95 RON / ROZ
Use min. 95 ROZ petrol.
In an emergency petrol 91, 92 or 93 RON can be used (slight loss, a slightly in-
creased fuel consumption) »
. 
1)
In Germany also DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded petrol with octane number 91 or 95 or DIN 51626-2 or E5
for unleaded petrol with octane number 95 and 98.
265Inspecting and replenishing

Prescribed petrol 98/(95) RON / ROZ
We recommend using petrol 98 RON.
Optionally, petrol 95 RON can be used (slight power loss, a slightly increased
fuel consumption).
In an emergency petrol 91, 92 or 93 RON can be used (slight loss, a slightly in-
creased fuel consumption) »

CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of en-
gine damage and damage to the exhaust system.■
If gasoline is used which is lower than the prescribed octane number, then
continue driving at medium engine speeds and minimum engine load. Refuel
using petrol of the prescribed octane number as soon as possible.
■
Petrol with a lower Octane count than 91 should not even be used in an
emergency!
■
If a fuel other than unleaded fuel which complies to the above mentioned
standards (e.g. leaded petrol) is put in the tank by mistake, do not start the en-
gine or switch on the ignition.
CAUTION
Petrol additives (additives)■Unleaded petrol in accordance with the EN 228 standard 1)
meets all the con-
ditions for a smooth-running engine. Therefore, we recommend that you do
not add any fuel additives to the petrol - there is a risk of engine damage or
damage to the exhaust system.■
The following additives and auxiliary products may not be used - there is a
risk of engine damage or damage to the exhaust system! ■ Additives with metal components (metallic additives), in particular with
manganese and iron content. ■ Fuels with metallic content (e.g. LRP - lead replacement petrol).
Note■ Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by the
engine can be used without limitations.■
The use of petrol with an octane rating higher than 95 RON in does not re-
sult in either a noticeable increase in power nor lower fuel consumption in ve-
hicles for which unleaded petrol 95/min 92 or 93 RON is specified.
■
On vehicles using prescribed petrol of min. 95 RON, the use of petrol with a
higher octane number than 95 RON can increase the power and reduce fuel
consumption.
Diesel fuel
Read and observe
and on page 264 first.
The correct grades of fuel for your vehicle are stated on a sticker affixed to theinside of the fuel filler flap » Fig. 314 on page 264 .
The vehicle can only be operated using diesel fuel that complies with the
standard EN 5902)
and contains a maximum 7% biodiesel (B7)3)
.
Operating under different weather conditions
Use only diesel in accordance with the current or expected weather conditions.
Ask the petrol station personnel whether the diesel fuel offered corresponds
to these conditions.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of en-
gine damage and damage to the exhaust system.■
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is put into the tank, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition!
■
The biofuel RME must not be used! 
