SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Avoid exposing the fuel gases to
any potential sources of ignition,
as the resulting fire and explosion
may cause serious injuries and/or
death.
Switch off the engine when
refuelling.
Switch off any personal electronic
devices, such as mobile phones or
music players, when refuelling.
PETROL ENGINED VEHICLES
Use high quality fuel that meets the
specification defined by EN228 (or
the national equivalent).
Do not use leaded fuels, fuels with
lead substitutes (e.g.,
manganese-based), or fuel
additives, as these may adversely
affect the emissions control
systems, and may affect warranty
coverage.
Fuel system cleaning agents should
not be used, unless approved by
the vehicle manufacturer.
OCTANE RATING
I4 Engine
These engines require the use of premium
unleaded fuel with a minimum octane
rating of 95 RON (Research Octane
Number) to contribute to optimum
performance, fuel economy and
driveability.
If premium unleaded fuel is not available,
you may use unleaded fuel with a lower
octane rating, down to a minimum of 91
RON but this may reduce engine
performance, increase fuel consumption,
cause audible engine knock and other
driveability problems.
Do not use fuels with an octane
rating lower than 91 RON, as severe
engine damage may occur.
Note: Occasional, light, engine knock
experienced while accelerating or climbing
hills is acceptable.
If a heavy persistent engine knock is
detected, even when using fuel to the
recommended octane rating or if you hear
engine knock while holding a steady
speed on level roads, consult a Retailer/
Authorised Repairer to have the problem
corrected. Failure to do so is misuse of the
vehicle, which will not be covered by the
vehicle's warranty.
If in doubt, seek advice from a Retailer/
Authorised Repairer.
Super Green Plus 98 RON unleaded fuel
(where available) may be used as an
alternative to the standard 95 RON
unleaded fuel.
ETHANOL
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol (E5
and E10) may be used.
This vehicle is not suitable for fuels
containing more than 10% ethanol.
Do not use E85 fuels (85% ethanol
content), as serious engine and fuel
system damage will occur.
