Fuel specifications Tire inflation pressure
The engine uses lead-free gasoline
only.
Required fuel:
> Premium Unleaded Gasoline,
min. 91 AKI.
AKI = Anti Knock Index
Do not use leaded fuels. The use
of leaded fuels will cause perma-
nent damage to the system's oxygen
sensor and the catalytic converter.<
Proper inflation pressures are on a
sticker attached to the B-pillar and
visible with the driver's door open.
Check tire pressures
On the next page you will find all the tire
pressure and ambient air temperature
specifications stated in the units usually
used in your country (psi; kilopascal).
For vehicles with RDC (Tire Pressure
Control):
After correcting the tire inflation pres-
sure, reactivate the system. Refer to
page 85.
462de197
Check tire inflation pressures,
including the space-saver spare
tire, or spare tire, regularly, at least
every two weeks and before beginning
any extended driving. Otherwise, incor-
rect tire pressure can lead to tire
damage and accidents.
Inflate the spare tire to the highest
inflation specified for your vehicle.<
