NOTICE
Using fuel that does not comply with the applicable standards and are not approved may reduce performance and cause damage to
the engine and fuel system.
● Only refuel with fuels of the specified grades that comply with the fuel information label in the tank flap.
Petrol grades
The fuel information label in the fuel filler flap provides information on the fuel to be refuelled.
Petrol grades differ with respect to their Research Octane Number (RON). The vehicle may also be filled with petrol that has a higher
RON than the engine requires. However, this does not provide any advantage in terms of fuel consumption or engine output.
The fuel information label may show several petrol grades (e.g. RON 95 min. 91). The highlighted octane number – RON 95 in the
example – is the preferred petrol grade for which the vehicle has been designed and optimised The petrol grade listed as an alternative
– RON 91 in the example – can be used for refuelling only if the preferred grade – RON 95 in the example – is not available.
Only refuel petrol engine vehicles with metal-free petrol (without lead, manganese or iron) that does not have a higher ethanol content
than stated on the fuel information label →
The fuel quality affects the running properties, performance and service life of the engine. Refuel with fuel that already contains
suitable fuel additives →
