BioFlex engine
A Flex vehicle has been designed to
run on unleaded petrol (RON 95 or
RON 98) or ethanol (this is a mixture
containing 85 % ethanol and 15 % un-
leaded petrol, called E85).
So, regardless of the quantity of fuel
remaining in your tank and irrespec-
tive of its type (RON 95/RON 98, E85
or a mixture of the two), you can fi ll
your tank at any time with unleaded
petrol (RON 95 or RON 98) or ethanol
(E85).
There is no problem driving on unleaded
petrol only with this vehicle.
In winter conditions, starting the
engine from cold may some-
times prove diffi cult. During
these very cold periods you
are advised to favour unleaded petrol to
guarantee optimum starting conditions.
