This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-

Depending on the region, many fill-
ing stations sell fuel that is adapted
to winter or summer conditions.
Fuel that is sold in winter facilitates

For optimal fuel consumption, the
petrol should be sulphur-free or
have a low sulphur content.
Fuels labelled on the pump as con-
taining metal must not be used.
You can fill up with fuels with a
maximum ethanol content of 25 %,
for example E10 or E25.
In order to achieve nominal values
for driving performance and con-
sumption, take account of the petrol
grade specified in the sales litera-
ture.
The engine has knock control. This
means that different petrol grades
can be used.
The use of fuels with a minimum
grade has no influence on the ser-
vice life of the engine.
