2014 Seat Toledo octane

Advice
– Unscrew the tank cap anti-clockwise and
place it on top of the tank flap ››› Fig. 107
 .
– Insert the pump nozzle into the fuel feed
tube as far as it will go.
The fuel tank is full as soon as the automatic
filler nozzle cuts out ››› .
– Remove the pump nozzle from the fuel feed
tube and place it back on the pump.
– Screw the tank cap clockwise until it clicks
into place.
– Close the tank flap. Make sure you hear it
click into place.
– Check that the fuel flap is properly closed. CAUTION
● Switch off the auxiliary heater (heater and
independent heater) before filling the tank.
● The fuel tank is full as soon as the automat-
ic filler nozzle cuts out. Do not continue fill-
ing, as this will fill the expansion chamber. Note
The fuel tank capacity is around 55 litres, of
which 7 litres are the reserve. Unleaded petrol
Your vehicle must only be run on
unleaded
petrol that complies with the Standard EN
228 (in Germany, also DIN 51626 – 1, or E10
for unleaded petrol with 95 and 91 octane
rating (RON) or DIN 51626 – 2, or E5 for un-
leaded petrol with 95 and 98 RON).
Prescribed fuel – unleaded petrol (95/91
RON)
Use unleaded petrol with 95
RON. Unleaded
petrol with 91 RON can also be used, al-
though thi s
will result in a slight loss of pow-
er.
If, as an emergency measure, you have to fill
the tank with petrol with a lower RON to that
prescribed, use only moderate engine
speeds and light throttle. High engine speed
and full throttle can seriously damage the en-
gine! Fill up with petrol with the correct RON
as soon as possible.
Prescribed fuel – unleaded petrol (min. 95
RON)
Use unleaded petrol with 95 RON.
If u

nleaded petrol with 95 RON is not availa-
bl

e, you can fill up with petrol with 91 RON as
an emerg
ency measure. In this case, use only
moderate engine speeds and a light throttle.
High engine speed and full throttle can seri- ously damage the engine! Fill up with petrol
with the correct RON as soon as possible.
Petrol with a RON below
91 cannot be used,
even a

s an emergency measure. Risk of seri-
ously damaging the engine!
Unleaded petrol with higher RON
Unleaded petrol with a higher RON to that
prescribed can be used without limits.
In vehicles running on prescribed unleaded
petrol with 95/91 RON
, there is no notable
increase in power or lower fuel consumption
when petrol with a RON higher than 95
is
used.
In vehicles running on prescribed unleaded
petrol with min. 95 RON
, there is an increase
in power and a lower fuel consumption when
petrol with a RON higher than 95
is used.
Prescribed fuel – unleaded petrol (98/(95)
RON)
Use unleaded petrol with 98
RON. Unleaded
petrol with 95 RON can also be used, al-
though this will result in a slight loss of pow-
er.
If unleaded petrol with 98
or 95 RON is not
available, you can fill up with petrol with 91
RON as an emergency measure. In this case,
use only moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. High engine speed and full throttle
can seriously damage the engine! Fill up with

Checking and refilling levels
petrol with the correct RON as soon as possi-
ble.
Petrol with a RON below 91 cannot be used,
ev en a
s an emergency measure. Risk of seri-
ously damaging the engine!
Petrol additives
The quality of the fuel influences the behav-
iour, power and service life of the engine.
This is why the petrol you use should carry
suitable additives already included by the
petrol industry, free of metals. These addi-
tives will help to prevent corrosion, keep the
fuel system clean and prevent deposits from
building up in the engine.
If good-quality petrol with metal-free addi-
tives is not available or engine problems
arise, the necessary additives must be added
when refuelling ››› .
Not all petrol additives have been shown to
be effective. The use of unsuitable petrol ad-
ditives may cause significant damage to the
engine and the catalytic converter. Metal ad-
ditives should never be used. Metal additives
may also be contained in petrol additives for
improving anti-detonation ratings or octane
ratings ››› .
SEAT recommends “genuine Volkswagen
Group Fuel Additives for petrol engines”.
These additives can be bought at SEAT deal-
ers, where information on how to use them
can also be obtained. CAUTION
● Do not refuel if the filler indicates that the
fuel contains metal. LRP (lead replacement
petrol) fuels contain high concentrations of
metal additives. Using them may damage the
engine!
● All SEAT vehicles with petrol engines can
only run on unleaded petrol. Refuelling just
once with leaded petrol disables the exhaust
system!
● Use of petrol with a lower RON to that pre-
scribed could damage the engine compo-
nents.
● Fuels marked as containing metal on the
garage fuel pump cannot be used. Risk of
damage to most engine parts or the exhaust
system!
● The use of unsuitable additives in petrol
can cause damage to most engine parts or
the exhaust system. Diesel fuel
Your vehicle can only run on
diesel fuel that
complies with the Standard EN 590 (in Ger-
m an

y, also DIN 51628, in Austria also
ÖNORM C 1590 , in Russia also GOST R
52368-2005/EN 590:2004).
Wint

er driving – winter-grade diesel
In winter use diesel fuel that complies with
the Standard EN 590
(in Germany, also DIN 51628, in Austria also ÖNORM C 1590
, in
Russia also
GOST R 52368-2005/EN
590:2004). “Winter-grade diesel” still per-
forms well at -20 °C (-4 °F).
In countries with other weather conditions,
diesel is often available that behaves differ-
ently with regards to the temperature. The
authorised SEAT dealers and petrol stations
in each country will inform you on the normal
diesel fuel of the country in question.
Preheating the fuel filter
The vehicle is fitted with a glow plug system
for the fuel filter. Therefore, the reliability of
the diesel is ensured at ambient tempera-
tures of down to approximately -25 °C
(-13 °F).
Fuel additives
Fuel additives, known as “thinners” (petrol or
similar substances) should not be mixed with
the diesel fuel. CAUTION
● Even one tankful of diesel fuel that does
not comply with the standard could damage
engine parts, the fuel system and the ex-
haust system!
● If fuel different to the prescribed diesel fuel
(e.g. petrol) is used by mistake, never start
the engine or switch on the ignition! Risk of » 131
