For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you to use unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of RON
(Research Octane Number) 95 /AKI
(Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.

reduction of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Do not let any petrol or water enter
the tank. This would make it neces-
sary to drain it out and to bleed the
lines to avoid siezing the injection
pump and damaging the engine.
