The vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol containing a maximum
of 10% bioethanol (E10).
Unleaded petrol must correspond to European Standard EN 228 (in Germany
DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded petrol with octane number 95 and 91 or
DIN 51626-2 or E5 for unleaded petrol with octane number 95).
Unleaded petrol 95/91 or 92 or 93 RON/ROZ
We recommend using petrol 95 RON.
Optionally, the petrol 91, 92 or 93 RON can be used (slight power loss, a slight-
ly increased fuel consumption).
Specified petrol is unleaded, min. 95 RON / ROZ
Use at least 95 ROZ petrol.
In an emergency, 91, 92 or 93 ROZ petrol can be used (slight loss of power,
slightly increased fuel consumption) » .
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of dam-
age to the engine and to the exhaust system.
■
When petrol with a lower than the prescribed octane is used, only continue
driving at mid-range engine speeds and with minimal strain on the engine. Re-
fuel using petrol of the prescribed octane number as soon as possible.
■
Lower than 91 octane petrol should not be used, even in an emergency!
■
If a fuel other than unleaded fuel which complies to the above mentioned
standards (e.g. leaded petrol) is put in the tank by mistake, do not start the en-
gine or switch on the ignition.
CAUTION
Petrol additions (additives)
■
Unleaded petrol in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all the
conditions for a smooth running engine. We therefore do not recommend mix-
ing fuel additives into the petrol - risk of engine damage or damage to the ex-
haust system.
■
The following additives may not be used - risk of engine damage or dam-
age to the exhaust system!
■
Additives with metal components (metallic additives), in particular with
manganese and iron content.
■
Fuels with metallic content (e.g. LRP - lead replacement petrol).
Note
■
Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by the
engine can be used without limitations.
■
On vehicles with prescribed unleaded petrol 95/91, 92 or 93 RON, the use of
petrol with a higher octane number than 95 RON does not result in a noticea-
ble power increase or a lower fuel consumption.
■
On vehicles using the prescribed unleaded petrol of min. 95 RON, the use of
petrol with a higher octane number than 95 RON can lead to an increase in
power and reduction in fuel consumption.
Diesel fuel
Read and observe and on page 207 first.
The correct fuel for the vehicle is specified on the inside of the fuel filler flap
» Fig. 255 on page 207.
Your vehicle can only be operated with diesel fuel that complies with Europe-
an Standard EN 590 (also standard DIN 51628 in Germany, standard
ÖNORM C 1590 in Austria, GOST R 52368-2005/EN 590:2004 in Russia).
The diesel fuel may contain a maximum of 7% biodiesel (B7 - In Germany in
accordance with DIN 52638, in Austria ÖNORM C 1590, in France EN 590).
Operating under different weather conditions
Use only diesel in accordance with the current or expected weather condi-
tions. Ask the petrol station personnel whether the diesel fuel offered corre-
sponds to these conditions.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of dam-
age to the engine and to the exhaust system.
■
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is used, do not start the engine or switch on the
ignition!
■
The biofuel RME must not be used!
