460_OM_MY09.book Page 134 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM 134 Starting and driving Cars adapted to run on E85 (85% ethanol) The fuel tank holds 61 litres. If access to E85 is limited then fuel with a different proportion of ethanol or normal RON 95 can be used for refuelling. The engine’s control management system is adjusted automatically according to the amount of ethanol in the fuel. When the temperature is about –10 °C or lower a greater proportion of petrol should be used. E85 in combination with low temperatures could lead to the car being more difficult to start. A slightly higher proportion of petrol improves the cold start properties considerably. Drive the car for at least 5 minutes after refuelling. For example, this is important when refuelling with E85 after having driven on petrol or vice versa. Driving for at least 5 minutes allows the engine’s management system to reset itself for the new fuel mixture. Drive calmly during this period. During the engine’s warm-up phase (below +50 °C) engine torque is limited when driving with a proportion of ethanol. Ethanol contains less energy per litre than petrol, which is why fuel consumption increases when driving on E85 compared with petrol. A consequence of this is that a tank of E85 covers fewer kilometres than a tank of petrol. NOTICE Certain additives in petrol could, in combination with ethanol, cause reduced driveability. For this reason, refuel with a full tank of petrol (RON 95) every 10 000 km. Use up the majority of this before refuelling the car again. NOTICE If a reserve fuel can is kept in the car then it should be filled with petrol, RON 95. • The engine has higher torque and output the higher the proportion of E85 that is used. • A larger proportion of E85 results in a greater requirement for the use of an engine heater in cold weather. • When the engine is cold and the proportion of E85 in the fuel tank is large (above 50%) engine torque is limited in order to avoid misfiring. The risk of misfiring is greatest if the engine is subjected to a heavy load at the same time. Torque limitation is active when the ethanol content is above 50% and engine temperature is below 50 °C at the same time. • E85 should be treated with the same caution as petrol. • E85 contains a red colouring substance. This results in the engine oil becoming slightly red.
460_OM_MY09.book Page 135 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM Starting and driving 135 Filler cap removed for refuelling Filler cap To open: The fuel filler cap is threaded. Turn the cap slowly to the left (anticlockwise). Cars adapted to run on E85 (85% ethanol): Turn the fuel filler cap a quarter turn to the left. To close: Turn the fuel filler cap to the right (clockwise) until you hear three clicks. Cars adapted to run on E85 (85% ethanol): Turn the fuel filler cap to the right (clockwise) until you hear three clicks, about a quarter of a turn. Opening the fuel filler flap manually 3, see page 60. Refuelling WARNING If the tank starts to burn while you are refuelling, do not remove the pump nozzle. Cut the fuel supply. Inform the staff. Leave the area immediately. 1 Switch off the engine. 2 Open the filler cap. 3 Insert the fuel pump nozzle beyond the flange on the filler pipe and let the first mark (a ring, a pimple or the first springcoil) rest on the flange. Do not withdraw the nozzle while filling is in progress. 4 Cease refuelling when the pump cuts out for the first time. NOTICE Do not overfill. Fuel should not come right up the filler pipe as room for expansion is needed for when the temperature rises. The most effective way to prevent condensation forming in the tank (and thus avoid possible running problems) is to keep the tank well filled. Refer to page 160 for information regarding carburettor spirit. Cars with diesel engine 3 Only use diesel fuel intended for vehicle use. Diesel engines must be run on diesel fuel that fulfils the EN590 <strong>Europe</strong>an standard. Never use domestic fuel oil, marine diesel fuel or similar. The diesel fuel must have a cetane rating of at least 45. Fuel additives (flow improvers) and suchlike agents must not be added to the diesel fuel. Also, do not refuel from a diesel pump intended for lorries. Such pumps have an unsuitably high delivery capacity, which would cause heavy foaming and cause the pump to cut out too early. Cease refuelling when the pump cuts out for the first time. NOTICE Do not overfill. Fuel should not come right up the filler pipe as room for expansion is needed for when the temperature rises. In low temperatures, a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel which can cause starting difficulties.
