!

Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a

gasoline engine. Do not switch on the

ignition if you accidentally refuel with the

wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter

the fuel system. Even small amounts of the

wrong fuel could result in damage to the

fuel system and the engine. The repair

costs are high. Notify a qualified specialist

workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel

lines drained completely.

!

You should only refuel with unleaded

premium-grade gasoline as this avoids

damaging the catalytic converter.
If engine running problems are apparent,

have the cause checked immediately and

repaired. Excess unburned fuel can

otherwise enter the catalytic converter,

leading to overheating and possibly

causing a fire.

!

To ensure the longevity and full

performance of the engine, only premium-

grade unleaded gasoline may be used.
If there is no premium-grade unleaded

gasoline available and regular unleaded

gasoline must be used, please observe the

following precautions:

R

only fill the fuel tank to half full with

regular unleaded gasoline and fill the rest

with premium-grade unleaded gasoline

as soon as possible.

R

do not drive at the maximum speed.

R

avoid sudden acceleration.
