Starting and driving
Stop jump-starting if the engine fails to
start immediately.
Refueling
Ensure that you are using the correct grade
of fuel, unleaded AON 87-93. For optimum
performance we recommend:
NOTE
If the car runs out of fuel, it is possible for
air to get into the fuel system. If this
happens, the catalytic converter may
overheat and be damaged.
• AON 90 for 2.0 Turbo 185 hp.
• AON 93 for 2.0 Turbo 205 hp and
2.3 Turbo Viggen.
If fuel containing a mixture of alcohol is
used, the following restrictions apply:
•
Failure to follow these directions could
result in the catalytic converter and asso-
ciated components being damaged, and
could represent a breach of the warranty
conditions.
Methanol: max. 5% by volume.
Ethanol: max. 10% by volume.
MTBE: max. 15% by volume.
The fuel filler cap is located in the right rear
quarter panel.
The most effective way to prevent conden-
sation forming in the tank (and thus avoid
possible running problems) is to keep the
tank well filled.

winter, it may be advisable to add gasoline
anti-freeze to the fuel a few times to dispel
any condensation in the system.
Switch off engine.
Insert the fuel-pump nozzle beyond the
flange on the filler pipe. Do not withdraw the
nozzle while filling is in progress.
Cease refuelling the first time the pump
stops.
NOTE
WARNING
Do not overfill. Fuel should not come right
up the filler pipe as expansion room is
needed.

•
Never use fuel for any purpose other
than as engine fuel.
Gasoline is highly flammable and can
cause severe burns. Never use an
exposed flame in the vicinity of gaso-
line. Never smoke when filling the
vehicle up with gasoline.
Fuel-tank capacity: 17.0 US gal. (64 liters)
