Ignition curve plug-in connector
101170-01
The plug-in connection is located under the seat in front of the fuse box.
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 connector disconnected
–
Fuel with an octane rating of 80 to 94 (RON) can be
used for one tank full.
• Plug-in connector connected
–
Fuel with an octane rating of 95 or higher can be used.
