The vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol containing maximum
10% bioethanol (E10).
Unleaded petrol must correspond to the European Standard EN 228 (in Ger-
many 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 and 98).
Prescribed fuel 95/min. 92 and 93 RON
We recommend using petrol 95 RON.
Optionally, the petrol 92 or 93 RON can be used (slight power loss, a slightly
increased fuel consumption).
In an emergency, petrol 91 RON can be used (slight power loss, slightly in-
creased 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) »
.
Prescribed petrol 98/(95) RON / ROZ
We recommend using petrol 98 RON.
Optionally, petrol 95 ROZ can be used (slight power loss, a slightly increased
fuel consumption).
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 additives (additives)
■
The unleaded petrol in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all
the conditions for a smooth running engine. We therefore do not recommend
mixing fuel additives into the petrol - risk of engine damage or damage to the
exhaust 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.
■
The use of petrol with an octane rating higher than 95 ROZ does not result in
either a noticeable increase in power nor lower fuel consumption in vehicles
for which unleaded petrol 95/min 92 or 93 ROZ is specified.
■
On vehicles using the prescribed petrol of min. 95 ROZ, the use of petrol
with a higher octane number than 95 ROZ can lead to an increase in power and
reduction in fuel consumption.
Diesel fuel
Read and observe and on page 196 first.
The correct fuel for the vehicle is specified on the inside of the fuel filler flap
» Fig. 229 on page 196.
Your vehicle can only be operated with diesel fuel that complies with the Eu-
ropean 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 maximum 7% biodiesel (B7 - In Germany in ac-
cordance 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.
