Driving And Operating
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or E DIN
51626-1 or equivalent.
The engine is capable of running with
fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol (e.g.
named E10).
Use fuel with the recommended octane
rating. A lower octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly
increases fuel consumption.
Note
The only petrol additives authorised
for are those that meet the B715001
standard.
In certain countries, the use of a
particular fuel, e.g. a specific octane
rating, may be required to ensure proper
engine operation.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not switch on
ignition.
Refuelling
The fuel filler flap is located at the left
rear side of the vehicle.
Warning
Before refuelling, switch off ignition and
any external heaters with combustion
chambers.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station when
refuelling.
Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives that
contain metallic compounds such as
manganese-based additives. This may
cause engine damage.
Warning
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened if
the vehicle is unlocked. Release the fuel
filler flap by pushing the flap.
To open, turn the cap slowly
anticlockwise.
If you can smell fuel in your vehicle,
have the cause of this remedied
immediately by a workshop.
Caution
Use of fuel with a lower octane rating
than the lowest possible rating could
lead to uncontrolled combustion and
engine damage.
A label with symbols at the fuel filler
flap is indicating the allowed fuel types.
In Europe, the pump nozzles of filling
stations are marked with these symbols.
Refuel only the allowed fuel type.
The engine specific requirements
regarding octane rating are given in the
engine data overview ðpage167 . A
country-specific label at the fuel filler flap
can supersede the requirement.
