Simple and environmentally friendly

When handling fuels, comply with all
of the applicable safety precautions

posted at the service station.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Lifting the nozzle
during refueling

results in premature shutoff

and will reduce the effect of the vapor
recovery system on the pump.

The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle
shuts off the first time.

Fill the fuel tank before it is com-
pletely empty. Driving to the last drop

of fuel can prevent the engine from operat-
ing properly and result in damage.

Fuel specifications

The engine uses lead-free gasoline only.

Required fuel:

Premium Unleaded Gasoline,
min. 91 AKI.
AKI = Anti Knock Index

Do not use leaded fuels. The use of
leaded fuels will cause permanent

damage to the system's oxygen sensor and
the catalytic converter.
