Fuel Requirements Engine Exhaust Gas Precautions (Carbon Monoxide) Operating Precautions for Catalytic Converters
Use only unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95 (Research Octane Number) conforming to DIN 51 607. You may use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 90 (Research Octane Number) at slightly reduced performance.

WARNING!
Never use leaded petrol in your Xedos Vehicle if it has a catalytic converter. The lead will accumulate on the oxygen sensor and the catalyst within the converter. This will result in a malfunction of the emission control system, causing poor performance.
If you believe the engine is not functioning properly, consult an Authorised Xedos Dealer as soon as possible. Engine exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Though colourless and odourless, it is dangerous, even lethal, if inhaled.
• Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if you smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle, have it inspected and repaired immediately by an Authorised Xedos dealer. Do not drive with exhaust fumes present,but if you must, do so only with all windows fully open.
• Do not operate the engine in confined or closed areas (such as garages) any more than is necessary to move the vehicle to and from the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an unconfined area for more than a short time with the engine running, adjust the heating or cooling system to draw outside air into the vehicle.
• Never sit in a parked or stopped vehicle for any length of time with the engine running.
