Quality of the fuel used for  
petrol engines  
Quality of the fuel used for  
Diesel engines  
For petrol engines, you must use  
unleaded fuel.  
The ller neck is narrower, allowing only  
unleaded petrol nozzles to be intro-  
duced.  
The petrol engines are perfectly  
compatible with E10 or E24 type pet-  
rol biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 %  
ethanol), conforming to European  
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.  
E85 type fuels (containing up to  
85 % ethanol) are reserved exclu-  
sively for vehicles marketed for the  
use of this type of fuel (BioFlex ve-  
hicles). The quality of the ethanol  
must comply with European stan-  
dard EN 15293.  
The Diesel engines are perfectly  
compatible with biofuels which con-  
form to current and future European  
standards (Diesel fuel which com-  
plies with standard EN 590 mixed  
with a biofuel which complies with  
standard EN 14214) available at the  
pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty  
Acid Methyl Ester).  
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-  
tain Diesel engines; however, this  
use is subject to strict application  
of the special servicing conditions.

ty device which cuts off the fuel sup-  
ply in the event of a collision.  
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel  
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-  
luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-  
hibited (risk of damage to the engine
