!
Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the igni-
tion if you accidentally refuel with the
wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter
the fuel system. Even small amounts of the
wrong fuel could result in damage to the
fuel system and the engine. Notify a quali-
fied specialist workshop and have the fuel
tank and fuel lines drained completely.
!
Only refuel using unleaded premium
grade gasoline with at least 91 AKI/
95 RON.
i
E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is E10-compatible. You can
refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel.
!
Only use the fuel recommended. Operat-
ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
!
Do not use the following:
R
E85 (gasoline with 85% ethanol)
R
E100 (100% ethanol)
R
M15 (gasoline with 15% methanol)
R
M30 (gasoline with 30% methanol)
R
M85 (gasoline with 85% methanol)
R
M100 (100% methanol)
R
Gasoline with metalliferous additives
R
Diesel
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle.
!
To ensure the longevity and full perform-
ance of the engine, only premium-grade
unleaded gasoline must be used.
If standard unleaded gasoline is unavaila-
ble and you have to refuel with unleaded
gasoline of a lower grade, observe the fol-
lowing precautions:
R
Only fill the fuel tank to half full with reg-
ular unleaded gasoline and fill the rest
with premium-grade unleaded gasoline
as soon as possible.
R
Do not drive at the maximum speed.
R
Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3,000 rpm.
Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) and/or unlea-
ded gasoline with additives can be used. The
concentration of additives in the fuel, how-
ever, must not exceed 10%, for example:
R
Ethanol
R
TAME
R
ETBE
R
IPA
R
TBA
For MTBE, the concentration should not
exceed 15%.
The concentration of methanol in gasoline,
including other additives, must not exceed
3%.
All of these blends must fulfill the fuel require-
ments, for example:
R
knock resistance
R
boiling point
R
vapor pressure
You will usually find information about the fuel
grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the pump, ask the staff for assis-
tance.
