Fuel
Fuel (for Petrol Engines)
Only use unleaded fuel that
complies with European standard
EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfils these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10% bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating
0Engine Data0207.
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating can reduce engine power and
torque and slightly increases fuel
consumption.
Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply
to EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent can lead to deposits or
engine damage and loss of
warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled
combustion and engine damage.
Filling the Tank
{Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
engine and any external heaters

and Parts
Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants
Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.
Damage resulting from the use of
products not compliant with these
specifications will not be covered by
the warranty.
{Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use.
The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
ageing control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil
quality that provides optimum
protection for petrol and diesel
engines. If it is unavailable, engine
oils of other listed qualities have to
be used. Recommendations for
petrol engines are also valid for
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and
Ethanol (E85) fuelled engines.
Select the appropriate engine oil

Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants0200. Topping up engine oil
Engine oils of different
manufacturers and brands can be
mixed as long as they comply with
the required engine oil quality and
viscosity.
Use of engine oil with only ACEA
A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is
prohibited, since it can cause
longterm engine damage under
certain operating conditions.

Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
