Fuel octane rating The engine is designed to provide optimum perf
ormance and fuel consumption if unleaded premium
fuel with 98 RON/88 MON (93 CLC or AKI) is us ed. If unleaded fuels with octane ratings of less than
98 RON/88 MON (93 CLC or AKI) are used, the engine’s knock control automatically adapts the
