Skoda Fabia Owners Manual
The vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol in compliance with the
EN 2281) standard.
All petrol engines can be operated using petrol with a maximum of 10% bioethanol
(E10).
Specified fuel - unleaded petrol 95/91 or 92 or 93 RON
Use unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 95 RON. Unleaded petrol with the
octane ratings 91, 92 or 93 RON can also be used, but may result in a slight
loss in performance.
Prescribed fuel - unleaded petrol min. 95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 95 RON or higher.
In an emergency, if unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 95 RON is not
available, you may refuel with petrol with an octane rating of 91, 92 or 93
RON
Prescribed fuel - unleaded petrol 98/(95) RON
Use unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON or higher. Unleaded petrol
95 RON can also be used but results in a slight loss in performance.
In an emergency, if unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 98 RON or 95 RON
is not available, you may refuel with petrol with an octane rating of 91 or 92
or
93 RON
Fuel additives
Unleaded petrol complying with EN 228 1) meets all the conditions for a
smooth-running engine. We therefore recommend that no fuel additives are
used. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine or the
exhaust
system.
CAUTION
- Even filling the tank with leaded petrol that does not meet the
standard
once can lead to serious damage to parts of the exhaust system.
- Do not start the engine or switch on the engine if you have refuelled
in error
with a fuel other than unleaded fuel which complies with the standards
referred
to above (e.g. leaded petrol). Engine parts could be significantly damaged.
We recommend that you have the fuel system cleaned by a specialist garage.
CAUTION
- If, in an emergency, the vehicle has to be refuelled with petrol of a
lower octane
number than the one prescribed, the journey must only be continued at
medium engine speeds and a low engine load. Driving at high engine revs or a
high engine load can severely damage the engine! Refuel using petrol of the
prescribed octane number as soon as possible.
- Engine parts can be damaged if petrol with a lower octane number than
the
one prescribed is used.
- Petrol of an octane rating lower than 91 RON must not be used, even
in the
event of an emergency, otherwise the engine could be severely damaged.
CAUTION
- In no case may fuel additives with metal components be used,
especially not
with manganese and iron content. LRP(lead replacement petrol) fuels with
metallic constituents may not be used. There is a risk of causing
considerable
damage to parts of the engine or exhaust system.
- Fuels with metallic constituents may not be used. There is a risk of
causing
considerable damage to parts of the engine or exhaust system.
Note
- Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by
the
engine can be used without limitations.
- The use of petrol with an octane rating higher than 95 RON in does
not result
in either a noticeable increase in power nor lower fuel consumption in
vehicles
for which unleaded petrol 95/91, 92 or 93 RON is specified.
- On vehicles using prescribed unleaded petrol of min. 95 RON, the use
of petrol
with a higher octane number than 95 RON can increase the power and reduce
fuel consumption.
