Refueling
Fuel specifications
For optimal fuel economy, the
gasoline should be sulfur-free or
very low in sulfur content.
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Do not refuel with leaded gaso-
line or gasoline with metallic ad-
ditives, e.g. manganese or iron.
Ethanol E85 might damage
the engine and fuel supply
system.
Do not refuel with E85, i.e. fuel
with an ethanol content of 85 %,
or with Flex Fuel.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol
content of 10 %, meaning
"E10," may be used for refuel-
ing. Ethanol should satisfy the
quality standards for the US
(ASTM 4806–xx) and Canada
(CGSB-3.511–xx). “xx” - com-
ply with the current standard in
each case.
Recommended fuel qual-
ity
Super unleaded (max. 10 %
ethanol, E10)

Refueling procedure
Fuel is highly flammable.
Fire at the fuel tank can
result in fire and explosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.
Fuel expands when ex-
posed to heat. When the
tank is overfilled, fuel can escape
and get onto the road. This re-
sults in a danger of falling.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
