Fuel recommendation
78RB0901R
To avoid damaging catalytic converter, you must use unleaded gasoline with an octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or 95 or higher if a "RON 95" label is attached on the fuel filler lid), which complies with the European standard EN228. Do not use gasoline with additives containing metal.This is identified by a label attached on fuel lid that states: "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY", "NUR UNVERBLEITES BENZIN", "ENDAST BLYFRI BENSIN" or "SOLO GASOLINA SIN PLOMO".
Gasoline-ethanol blends Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are commercially available in certain areas. Blends of this type may be used in your vehicle if they are no more than 10% ethanol. Check that this gasoline-ethanol blend has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for the gasoline.
Use the recommended gasoline which conforms to the following labels.
NOTE: If you are not satisfied with the driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle when you use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should switch back to unleaded gasoline containing no alcohol.
Gasoline containing MTBE (where legally available) Unleaded gasoline containing MTB_E (methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in your vehicle if the MTBE content 1s not greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel does not contain alcohol.
SPECIFICATION
NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space to allow for fuel expansion in hot weather. If you continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off or an initial blowback occurs, the air chamber will become full. Exposure to heat when fully fuelled in this manner will result in leakage due to fuel expansion. To prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling after the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off, or when initial vent blowback occurs, if using an alterna-tive non-automatic system.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up immediately. Fuels containing alco-hol can cause paint damage, which is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE: For the fuel recommendation of Chile, Panama and Argentina models, refer to "For Chile, Panama and Argentina" in the "SUPPLEMENT" section.
