Fuel type
Gasoline engines use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating not lower than that indicated on the label located next to the fuel tank filler neck.
Note: In emergency situations, you can use lower octane gasoline for a very short time. In such a situation, limit your driving speed to moderate or low and do not allow the engine to detonate under any circumstances. Fill with the prescribed fuel at the earliest opportunity.
Diesel engines use high-quality diesel fuel (with a sulfur content of no more than 0.3%).
Caution! Do not use any other products or mixtures instead of diesel fuel.
Caution! If you accidentally fill your vehicle with gasoline instead of diesel, do not start the engine under any circumstances and contact your dealer immediately to have the system flushed.
Diesel fuel fluidity decreases at low temperatures and hydrocarbons may be released which can clog the fuel filter. Typically, to avoid such problems, high-quality gas stations sell fuel with properties appropriate for the season. However, in spring or autumn, when there is a large temperature variation, the fuel quality may not meet current requirements. In this case, especially with frequent stops/starts at low temperatures, fill up with winter diesel fuel. Alternatively, by agreement with the dealer, you can add the appropriate additive in the proportions written on the container. The additive should be added before refueling. It is only effective when added before the fuel is exposed to cold.
During vehicle assembly, the engine is adjusted to the brand of fuel available in the regions for which the vehicle is intended. However, if you re-export your vehicle to other countries or travel abroad, it may be that the available fuel grades will not fully match your engine's settings. Please contact your dealer for advice.
Don't skimp on fuel quality. Remember that using low-quality fuel can cause engine damage.
Refueling
Refueling is carried out in the sequence indicated below.
- Be sure to turn off the engine.
Caution! Do not smoke or use open flames when refueling. Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and highly explosive in enclosed spaces.
Caution: Only use fuel recommended for your vehicle (indicated on the label next to the tank).
Note: The design of supply pumps and fuel delivery rates may vary at different filling stations. Keep this in mind and read the instructions before you start refueling, usually located on a sign at the gas pump, and follow them when refueling.
Note: The useful capacity of the fuel tank on the petrol engine is 55 litres, and on the diesel engine it is 60 litres
- Open the fuel tank filler neck. To do this, you must first unlock the fuel tank filler cap. The plug is released using a key, which should be inserted into the provided slot and turned a quarter turn towards the rear of the vehicle. Then you should unscrew the plug.
Note: A hissing sound may be heard when removing the filler cap. This is a normal sound and can be ignored.
- Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel tank neck.
- Slowly (without squeezing the pistol lever all the way) fill the tank with fuel. Continue refueling until then. until the fuel nozzle shuts off the fuel supply. Do not overfill the fuel tank as this may cause fuel spillage due to thermal expansion. The fuel tank is full when the fuel nozzle is turned off for the second time.
- Remove the gun. Install the plug and lock it.
Warning. If the cap is removed, you will not be able to close the right side door of the car.Attention! Do not allow the fuel to run out completely. Misfires can lead to failure of the catalytic converter (see below).
Inertia fuel supply switch
This switch cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision. After it has been triggered, it should be returned to its original state. For more information, please refer to the item "Inertia switch" in paragraph 2.
