Unleaded petrolRead and observe
and on page 139 first.
The correct fuel for your vehicle is specified on the inside of the fuel filler
flap » Fig. 154 on page 139 .
The vehicle can only operate with unleaded petrol that meets standard EN
228 1)
, and contains maximum 10% bioethanol (E10).
Unleaded petrol 95/91 or 92 or 93 RON/ROZ
We recommend using petrol 95 ROZ.
Optionally, the petrol 91 ,92 or. 93 ROZ can be used (slight power loss, a slight-
ly increased fuel consumption).
Specified petrol is unleaded, min. 95 RON / ROZ
Use petrol min. 95 ROZ.
In an emergency , 91 . 92 or 93 ROZ petrol can be used (slight loss of power,
slightly increased fuel consumption) »
.
Prescribed petrol 98/(95) RON / ROZ
We recommend using petrol 98 ROZ.
Optionally, petrol 95 ROZ can be used (slight power loss, a slightly increased
fuel consumption).
In an emergency , 91 . 92 or 93 ROZ petrol can be used (slight loss of power,
slightly increased fuel consumption) »
.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of dam-
age to the engine and to the exhaust system.■
When petrol with a lower than the prescribed octane is used, only continue
driving at mid-range engine speeds and with minimal strain on the engine. Re-
fuel using petrol of the prescribed octane number as soon as possible.
■ Lower than 91 octane petrol should not be used, even 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 complying with the EN 228 standard 1)
meets all the condi-
tions for problem-free engine operation. We therefore do not recommend mix-
ing fuel additives into the petrol - risk of engine damage or damage to the ex-
haust system.■
The following additives 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.■
On vehicles with prescribed unleaded petrol 95/91, 92 or 93 ROZ, the use of
petrol with a higher octane number than 95 ROZ does not result in a noticea-
ble power increase or a lower fuel consumption.
■
On vehicles using the prescribed petrol of min. 95 ROZ, the use of petrol with
a higher octane number than 95 ROZ can lead to an increase in power and re-
duction in fuel consumption.
