damage to the catalytic converter will
result.
Do not refuel with E85, i.e. fuel that consists of

Open the fuel filler door. To do this, briefly
press the lower edge.
However, you may also use gasoline with less
AKI. The minimum AKI Rating is 89.
Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise.
If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI Rat-
ing, the engine may produce knocking sounds
when starting at high outside temperatures.
This has no affect on the engine life.
When the fuel tank catch is opened,
stay as far away from the vehicle as
possible since gasoline and pressurized
gasoline vapors may suddenly escape from
the fuel tank.<
Do not use gasoline below the specified
minimum quality, otherwise engine dam-
age can result.<
Observe the following when refueling
When handling fuels, follow the safety
precautions posted at the filling station.
Otherwise, there is a danger of personal injury
or property damage.<
Use high-quality brands
Field experience has indicated significant dif-
ferences in fuel quality: volatility, composition,
additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale

oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight,

the applicable warranties with respect to
defects in materials or workmanship.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.
The use of poor-quality fuels may result in
drivability, starting and stalling problems
especially under certain environmental condi-
tions such as high ambient temperature and
high altitude.
Fuel tank capacity
Approx. 22.5 gallons/85 liters, including approx.
2.1
gallons/8 liters of reserve
Should you encounter drivability problems
which you suspect could be related to the fuel
you are using, we recommend that you respond
by switching to a recognized high-quality brand
such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier
Detergent Gasoline.
Refuel as soon as possible once your
cruising range falls below 30 miles/
km, otherwise engine functions are not

ensured and damage can occur.<
Failure to comply with these recommendations
may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<
