ation for synthetic diesel.

NOTICE
Using fuel that does not comply with these
standards and is not approved ma
y reduce
performance and cause damage to the en-
gine and fuel system.
·
Before refuelling, check whether the fuel
to be filled corresponds to the specifica-
tion on the pump.
·
Refuel only with fuels that comply with
the specified standard and identification.
Petrol
Please refer to and on page 293.
T
he petrol types dier in their research oc-
tane number (RON). The vehicle may be fil-
led with petrol that has a higher RON than
the engine requires. However, this does not
provide any advantage in terms of fuel
economy or engine output.
The fuel information label on the inside of
the tank flap ma
y show several types of
petrol, e.g. 95/92/97/93 RON. The high-
lighted petrol grades, 95/92 in the exam-
ple, are the preferred petrol grades for the
vehicle. The other listed petrol grades may
only be filled if the highlighted ones are not
available. In this case, choose the petrol
grade with the higher RON, e.g. 97 instead
of 93 RON.
Always refuel vehicles with a petrol engine
only with metal-free petrol (without lead,
manganese or iron) that does not have
a higher ethanol content than specified on
the fuel information label →
.
T
he fuel quality aects the running proper-
ties, performance and service life of the en-
gine. Refuel with fuel that already contains
suitable additives →

NOTICE
Errors during refuelling or unsuitable fuel
a
dditives may cause damage to the vehi-
cle.
·
Before refuelling, check whether the fuel
to be filled corresponds to the specifica-
tion on the pump.
·
Refuel only with petrol that has the
specified or a higher Research Octane
Number (RON).
·
Use only Ford-approved service additives
in the approved quantity if necessary.
NOTICE
If petrol fuel with too low an octane num-
ber is filled in an emergenc
y, vehicle dam-
age can occur when driving for a longer pe-
riod of time.
·
Only run the engine at medium speeds
and with a low engine load.
·
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy en-
gine loads.
·
Refuel with petrol with the correct oc-
tane number as soon as possible.
