FUEL TANK (1/3)
Fuel grade
Vehicles running on ethanol-
based fuel
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine. To avoid this problem, use un-
leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten-
sion piece supplied into the socket in-
tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220V socket for at least
6 hours before starting.
Use a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country and which must conform to
the specifications given on the label on
cover B. Please refer to the information
on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.
