FuelPetrolGrades of petrolThere are various grades of petrol. Please read
⇒page 271, “Technical Data” in
order to know which grade of petrol your
vehicle requires. You will also find the
same information affixed to the inside of
the fuel filler flap of your vehicle
⇒ page 222, fig. 206
.
A distinction is made between unleaded an
d leaded petrol. All Škoda vehicles with
petrol engines are equipped with a catalyti
c converter and must therefore be only
driven with
unleaded petrol
. Unleaded petrol
complies with the
standard
DINEN228
.
The individual grades of petr
ol are distinguished by their
octane number
(RON).
Please adopt the following procedure if the grade of petrol which you normally use is not be available in
exceptional circumstances.
Engines which need
unleaded premium petrol 95 RON
can also be run on
unleaded regular petrol 91 RON. This does, however, result in a slight loss in performance. If, in an emergency, the only fuel availa
ble is one which has a lower octane number
than that required by the engine then only drive at medium engine speeds and lower engine loadings. You can make unlimited use of fuel whic
h has a higher octane
number than that
required by the engine. There will, howeve
r, be no advantages gained by this in
terms of engine performance and fuel consumption! The handling, performance and
life of your engine are determined to a significant
extent by the quality of the fuel.
Do not use any petrol additives.
Use a fuel
complying with
the standard.
You can find further information on refuelling
⇒page 222, “Refuelling”.
Caution
•
Filling the tank even only once with lead
ed petrol will result in the catalytic
converter being destroyed.•
Operating the engine with petrol of a lo
w octane number can result in engine
damage at high revolutions or severe engine loading.Biofuel Ethanol E85*Ethanol E85* Only valid for vehicles with
1.6/75°kW MultiFuel engine.
Biofuel Ethanol E85 consists of 85% bioethanol and 15% unleaded petrol complying with the standard (DIN) EN°228. Biofuel Ethanol E85 in accordance with th
e standard (DIN) EN 2
28 can be mixed in
any desired ratio with unleade
d petrol, see Owner's Manual.
Drive the vehicle for at leas
t 5 minutes without interrupti
on, if biofuel Ethanol E85
has been refuelled, so that the engine co
ntrol unit can determine the share of the
biofuel in the fuel. During this period do
not drive at top speed
of your vehicle or
high engine speeds and not at full throttle
. During this process
decrease the idling
speed.
WARNING
Pay attention to any legal requirements if you do carry a spare canister in the vehicle. We do not recommend carrying
any fuel canisters in your vehicle for
safety reasons. The canister can be da
maged in the event of an accident and
fuel may leak out.
