Petrol engines
In this manual: Starting and driving
~1min read
Use only unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of not less than 95. To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, never put even a small amount of leaded petrol into the tank, not even in an emergency.
Diesel engines
Use only road diesel fuel for motor vehicles (EN590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle for extended periods in mountainous/cold areas, it is recommended to buy diesel fuel available locally. In such conditions it is also recommended to keep more than 50% of the usable tank capacity filled with fuel.
