16.3 Plug-in connection, ignition timing map
101170-01
The plug-in connection is located under the seat in front of the tail light.
By disconnecting the plug-in connector, the ignition curve for fuel with an octane rating
below 95 (ROZ 95/RON 95/PON 91) is activated. While the engine will have a slightly
lower power output, this setting prevents engine damage by hindering spark knocking due
to poor fuel quality.
Possible states
• Plug-in connection disconnected
–
Fuel with an octane rating of 80 to 94 (RON) can
be used for one tank full.
• Plug-in connection connected
–
Fuel with an octane rating of 95 or higher can be
used.
