The tank flap is located at the rear right-hand
side of the vehicle.

Identification of fuels and fuel
standards

mation label (illustration).
Different engines require different fuels. There is
a factory-fitted fuel information sticker

Fig. 116 in the tank flap that indicates the fuel
that must be used for the vehicle.
The fuel information label specifies the
minimum fuel grade (e.g. minimum RON92).
If only one fuel grade or RON is listed on the la-
bel, it represents the minimum requirement.
The vehicle may also be filled with fuel that has a
higher RON than the engine requires. However,
this does not provide any advantage in terms of
fuel consumption or engine output.
The fuel information label specifies two fuel
grades (e.g. RON95 / minimum RON92)
If two fuel grades or octane numbers (RON) are
listed on the label, you can choose either grade.
The fuel grade listed as an alternative, RON 92 in
the example above, can be used for refuelling on-
ly if the preferred grade, RON 95 in the example,
is not available. The highlighted octane number,
RON 95 in the example, is the preferred fuel
grade for which the vehicle has been designed
and optimised.
Using fuel with a lower grade or RON
Never use fuel with a lower grade or octane
number (RON) than the minimum indicated on
the fuel information label.
This may increase fuel consumption and reduce
engine output. In extreme cases, this may cause
engine damage.
Any vehicle malfunctions or damages caused by
using fuel with a lower grade or octane number
(RON) than the minimum indicated on the fuel
information label are not covered by the warran-
ty.
To ensure proper operation of the emission puri-
fication system, only low-sulphur or sulphur-free
fuel should be used, and the use of fuel additives
containing metals, such as octane boosters, is
prohibited.

NOTICE
● Using fuel with a lower grade or octane num-
ber (RON) than the minimum indicated on the
fuel information label can reduce the engine
output. In extreme cases, this may cause se-
vere damage to the engine, fuel system, or
emission purification system.
● Before refuelling, ensure that the fuel standard
specified on the pump meets the vehicle's re-
quirements and has at least the minimum oc-
tane number listed on the fuel information la-
bel. Refuel only with fuels that comply with
the specified standard and identification.
