NOTICE
●
Fuels with a high percentage of ethanol,
e
.g. E30 - E100 button must not be used. The
fuel system would be damaged.
●
A single refuelling with leaded fuel or other
metal additives entails a permanent deterio-
ration of the eectiveness of the catalytic
converter.
●
Only use fuel additives that have been ap-
proved by SEAT. The products that contain
substances to increase the octane rating or
decrease knocking may contain metal addi-
tives that damage the engine and catalytic
converter. This type of products must not be
used.
●
Do not use fuels shown in the pump as
containing metals. LRP (lead replacement
petrol) fuels contain high concentrations of
metal additives. Risk of engine damage!
●
High engine speed and full throttle can
damage the engine when using petrol with
an octane rating lower than the correct
grade for the engine.
Note
●
Fuel with an octane rating higher than the
one r
equired by the engine can be used.
●
In countries in which there is no sulphur-
free fuel, it is also allowed to use low sulphur
content fuel.
