age of ethanol in the petrol. “E5” means,
for example, an ethanol ratio of 5% max.

ade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel tank flap.

petrol. The petrol must comply with the
standard EN 228 and be sulphur-free. Fuels
with a 10% ethanol ratio can be refuelled
(E10) 2)
. The types of petrol are differentiated
by using the octane numbers (RON) or via
the anti-knock index (AKI).
The following pieces of text show the infor-
mation included in the corresponding stickers

east
We recommend refuelling with super 95 oc-
tane petrol (91 AKI). If not available: normal 91
octane petrol (87 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
Super unleaded petrol, 95 octanes at
least
You should use super 95 octane petrol (91
AKI) at least.
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble.
Unleaded super plus 98 octane petrol or
super 95 octane petrol at least
We recommend refuelling with super plus 98
octane petrol (93 AKI). If not available: super
95 octane petrol (91 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-

Practical tips
If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
bl e
, in the e
vent of an emergency you can
add oil once up to a maximum of 0.5 L of the
next oil until the next oil change:

Checking and refilling levels
Depending on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the v ehicl
e is used, oil con-
sumption can be up t
o 0.5 l/1000 km. Oil
consumption is likely to be higher for the first
5,000 km. For this reason the engine oil level
must be checked at regular intervals, prefera-
bly when filling the tank and before a journey. WARNING
Any work carried out in the engine com-
partment or on the engine must be carried out cautiously.

Practical tips
The oil change intervals are shown in the
Maint enance Pr
ogr
amme.WARNING
Only change the engine oil yourself if you
have the specialist kno wl

edge required!
