Model Of which reserve All models Approx. 1.3 US gal (5.0 l) Gasoline Fuel grade ! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a gasoline engine. Do not switch on the igni- tion if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel system. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system and the engine. Notify a quali- fied specialist workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely. ! Only refuel using premium-grade unlea- ded gasoline with at least 91 AKI/95 RON (91 octane). ! Only use the fuel recommended. Operating the vehicle with other fuels can lead to engine failure. ! Do not use the following: R E85 (gasoline with 85% ethanol) R E100 (100% ethanol) R M15 (gasoline with 15% methanol) R M30 (gasoline with 30% methanol) R M85 (gasoline with 85% methanol) R M100 (100% methanol) R Gasoline with metalliferous additives R Diesel Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom- mended for your vehicle. Do not use addi- tives. Engine failure may otherwise occur. This does not include cleaning additives for the removal and prevention of residue build-up. Gasoline must only be mixed with cleaning additives recommended by smart (see "Additives"). For further information inquire at any smart center. ! To ensure the longevity and full perform- ance of the engine, only premium-grade unleaded gasoline must be used. If standard unleaded gasoline is unavail- able and you have to refuel with unleaded gasoline of a lower grade, observe the fol- lowing precautions: R Only fill the fuel tank to half full with regular unleaded gasoline and fill the rest with premium-grade unleaded gas- oline as soon as possible. R Do not drive at the maximum speed. R Avoid sudden acceleration and engine speeds over 3,000 rpm. You will usually find information about the fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label on the pump, ask the staff for assis- tance. i For further information, consult a quali- fied specialist workshop or on the Internet at http://www.smartusa.com (USA only). i E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol. Your vehicle is E10-compatible. You can refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel. As a temporary measure, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine per- formance and increase fuel consumption. Avoid driving at full throttle and sudden acceleration. Never refuel using fuel with a lower octane rating. Information on refueling ( Y page 97). Additives ! Operating the engine with subsequently added fuel additives can lead to engine damage. Do not mix any fuel additives with the fuel. This does not include additives for the removal and prevention of residue buildup. Gasoline must only be mixed with additives recommended by smart. Comply with the instructions for use on the product label. For further information on recom- mended additives, inquire at any smart center. smart recommends that you use fuel brands that have additives. The quality of the fuel available in some countries may not be sufficient. Residue could build up in the injection system as a result. In this case, in consultation with a smart center, the gasoline may be mixed with the cleaning additive recommended by smart. 208 Service products and filling capacities >> Technical data . |
