reliability and perf ormance by paying
extra attention to how you drive
during the f irst 1,000 km (625 miles).
During this period:
Avoidhardbrakingforthefirst
300 km (200 miles).
Do not change the oil until the
scheduled maintenance time.
Do not tow a trailer.
You should also f ollow these
recommendations with an
overhauled or exchanged engine, or
when the brakes are replaced.Your vehicle is designed to operate
on Premium/Super unleaded petrol
with a Research Octane Number
(RON) of 95 or higher.
Your vehicle is designed to use only
Diesel Fuel (also known as
Automotive gas oil and Derv). You may hear a knocking noise from
the engine if you drive the vehicle at
low engine speed (below about 1,000
rpm) in a higher gear. To stop this,
raise the engine speed by shif ting to
a lower gear.
You need to use the proper f uel f or
EN590 and also vary the fuel
depending on the season.
The quality of diesel f uel (Derv) can
vary in dif f erent countries, and only
clean and good quality f uel should be
used.
Your vehicle is not designed to use
Biodiesel (pure or high
concentrationmorethanspecifiedby
EN590). For more inf ormation, ask
your dealer. Your vehicle is designed to operate
on unleaded petrol with 91 Research
Octane Number (RON) or higher.

In this case, petrol of a lower octane
may be used temporarily if it does
not cause engine ‘‘knocking.’’ This
will result in decreased engine
perf ormance.
Using petrol containing lead will
damage your vehicle’s emissions con-
trols and engine. This contributes to
air pollution.
