Fuel recommendation
69T120080
To avoid damaging catalytic converter, you
must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 95 or higher (or
95 or higher if it is stated on the fuel filler
lid), which complies with the European
standard EN228. This is identified by a
label attached on fuel lid that states:
“UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”, “NUR
UNVERBLEITES BENZIN”, “ENDAST
BLYFRI BENSIN” or “SOLO GASOLINA
SIN PLOMO”.
9Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in certain areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your
vehicle if they are no more than 10% etha-
nol. Check that this gasoline-ethanol blend
has octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for the gasoline.
Use the recommended gasoline which
conforms to the following labels. (for EU
countries)
78RB0902R
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded gasoline contain-
ing no alcohol.
Gasoline containing MTBE
(where legally available)
Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in
your vehicle if the MTBE content is not
greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel
does not contain alcohol.
NOTE:
• For the fuel recommendation of Mexico
model, refer to “For Mexico” (P.13-4).
• For the fuel recommendation of Turkey
model, refer to “For Turkey” (P.13-5).
• For the fuel recommendation of Ukraine
model, refer to “For Ukraine” (P.13-6).
NOTICE
• The fuel tank has an air space to
allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel
after the filler nozzle has automati-
cally shut off or an initial blowback
occurs, the air chamber will
become full. Exposure to heat
when fully fuelled in this manner
will result in leakage due to fuel
expansion. To prevent such fuel
leakage, stop filling after the filler
nozzle has automatically shut off,
or when initial vent blowback
occurs, if using an alternative non-
automatic system.
• Be careful not to spill fuel contain-
ing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it
up immediately. Fuels containing
alcohol can cause paint damage,
which is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
