tank capacity, l |
|
|
4.3 |
|
4.8-4.9 |
|
Compound |
Water mixed with summer "S" (1:100) or winter "W" concentrate |
Add windshield washer fluid to water throughout the year to prevent streaks. Select the mixture composition according to the outside air temperature. Prepare the mixture in a separate container. Due to the presence of a windshield washer heating, the mixture concentration is sufficient to ensure frost resistance down to -10°C.
Fuel tank
capacity, l — 70 (66 on all-wheel drive models)
Petrol models
Unleaded gasoline: not worse than AI-95/A-85. It is possible to temporarily use unleaded gasoline not worse than AI-91/A-82.5. In this case, the engine power will decrease slightly, with an increase in fuel consumption
Do not use fuel additives. They may cause increased wear or engine damage.
Diesel models
Do not use ship's (Marine Diesel Fuel), boiler and similar diesel fuel.
When using diesel fuel with a sulfur content of more than 0.5%, change the engine oil every 7,500 km.
Winter fuel ensures normal operation down to -20°C.
Thanks to the fuel preheating when the vehicle's heating system is on, a vehicle running on winter diesel fuel can, as a rule, be operated without failure at outside temperatures down to -25°C.
Do not mix gasoline with diesel fuel.
When using summer diesel fuel, as well as at outside temperatures below -15°C, a certain amount of flow improver or kerosene, depending on the outside temperature, should be added to the fuel.
Composition of the mixture
Flow improvers can also be used in combination with kerosene.
You can get information about fluidity improving agents at the service station.
The proportion of additive, taking into account the outside air temperature, should be minimal.
The proportion of kerosene in the mixture should not exceed 50%.
Add the additive to diesel fuel until the diesel fuel loses its fluidity due to paraffin emission. Malfunctions due to paraffin emission can only be eliminated by heating the entire fuel system.
Mix diesel fuel with kerosene only in the fuel tank. To do this, first pour kerosene into the tank, and then add diesel fuel.
After this, the engine must run for some time so that the mixture is distributed throughout the fuel system.
