Unleaded petrol
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 104.
Your vehicle can only be operated with
unleaded fuel
that complies with the
standard
EN 228
(in Germany:
standard DIN 51626-1
or
E10
for unleaded fuel with
an octane rating of
95
RON and
91
RON or
DIN 51626-2
or
E5
for unleaded fuel
with the octane rating
95
RON and
98
RON).
Prescribed fuel – unleaded fuel 95/91 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating
95
RON. Unleaded petrol
91
RON can al-
so be used but results in a slight loss in performance.
If, in an emergency, the vehicle has to be refuelled with petrol of a lower octane
number than the one prescribed, the journey must only be continued at medium
engine speeds and a low engine load. Driving at high engine revs or a high engine
load can severely damage the engine! Refuel using petrol of the prescribed oc-
tane number as soon as possible.
Prescribed fuel – unleaded petrol min. 95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating
95
RON.
In case of necessity, you can refuel with petrol with the octane rating
91
RON if
petrol with the octane rating
95
RON is not available. The journey must only be
continued at medium engine speeds and a minimum engine load. Driving at high
engine revs or a high engine load can severely damage the engine! Refuel using
petrol of the prescribed octane number as soon as possible.
Even in the event of an emergency, petrol of a lower octane number than
91
RON
must not be used, otherwise the engine can be severely damaged!
Unleaded petrol with higher octane number
Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by the en-
gine can be used without limitations.
On vehicles with prescribed unleaded petrol
95/91
RON, the use of petrol with a
higher octane number than
95
RON does not result in a noticeable power in-
crease or a lower fuel consumption.
On vehicles using prescribed unleaded petrol of
min. 95
RON, the use of petrol
with a higher octane number than
95
RON can increase the power and reduce
fuel consumption.
ä
Prescribed fuel – unleaded petrol 98/(95) RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating
98
RON. Unleaded petrol
95
RON can
also be used but results in a slight loss in performance.
In case of necessity, you can refuel with petrol with the octane rating
91
RON of
unleaded fuel with octane rating
98
RON or
95
RON is not available. The journey
must only be continued at medium engine speeds and a minimum engine load.
Driving at high engine revs or a high engine load can severely damage the engine!
Refuel using petrol of the prescribed octane number as soon as possible.
Even in the event of an emergency, petrol of a lower octane number than
91
RON
must not be used, otherwise the engine can be severely damaged!
Fuel additives
Only use unleaded petrol, which complies with the standard EN 228 (in Germany:
standard DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 95 RON
and 91 RON or DIN 51626-2 or E5 for unleaded fuel with an octane rating of
95 RON and 98 RON), as these meet all of the requirements for fault-free engine
operation. We therefore recommend that no fuel additives are used.
CAUTION
■
All ŠKODA vehicles with petrol engines must only be operated with unleaded
petrol. Just filling the tank with leaded petrol once will damage the exhaust sys-
tem!
■
Engine parts can be damaged if petrol with a lower octane number than the one
prescribed is used.
■
In no case may fuel additives with metal components be used, especially not
with manganese and iron content. LRP (lead replacement petrol) fuels with met-
allic components may not be used. There is a risk of causing considerable damage
to parts of the engine or exhaust system!
■
Fuels with metallic content may not be used. There is a risk of causing consider-
able damage to parts of the engine or exhaust system!
■
The use of unsuitable fuel additives can cause considerable damage to parts of
the engine or the exhaust system.
