FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE
WARNINGS
Do not mix gasoline with oil, diesel
or other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
Do not use leaded gasoline or
gasoline with additives containing
other metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could damage
the emission system.
Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel.
Note: We do not recommend the use of
additional additives or other engine
treatments for normal vehicle use.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded
gasoline that meets the specification
defined by EN 228 or the equivalent
national specification.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanol
blends up to 10% (E5 and E10).
Long-Term Storage
Most gasoline contains ethanol. We
recommend that you fill the fuel tank with
fuel that does not contain ethanol if you
intend to store your vehicle for more than
two months. Alternatively, we recommend
that you seek advice from an authorized
dealer.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
WARNINGS
Do not mix diesel with oil, gasoline
or other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or
gasoline to diesel. This could cause
damage to the fuel system.
WARNINGS
Use diesel that meets the
specification defined by EN 590 or
the relevant national specification.
Note: We recommend that you use only
high quality fuel.
Note: We do not recommend the use of
additional additives or other engine
treatments for normal vehicle use.
Note: We do not recommend the use of
additional additives to prevent fuel waxing.
Long-Term Storage
Most diesel fuels contain biodiesel. We
recommend that you fill the fuel tank with
fuel that does not contain biodiesel if you
intend to store your vehicle for more than
two months. Alternatively, we recommend
that you seek advice from your dealer.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect on
powertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:
• You may need to cycle the ignition from
off to on several times after refueling
to allow the fuel system to pump the
fuel from the tank to the engine. On
restarting, cranking time will take a few
seconds longer than normal. With
keyless ignition, just start the engine.
Crank time will be longer than usual.
• Normally, adding 1 gallon (4.6 liters) of
fuel is enough to restart the engine. If
your vehicle is out of fuel and on a
steep grade, more fuel may be required.
