2002 Saab 9-5 Owner's Manual - Page 152

152 Starting and driving Only fuel from well-known oil companies should be used. All Saab gasoline engines can be driven on fuel of grade AON 87-93. For optimum performance we recommend: • AON 90 for 4-cylinder engines • AON 93 for 3.0t V6 and 2.3T Aero, (see page 250). If fuel containing a mixture of alcohol is used, the following restrictions apply: Methanol: max. 5% by volume. Ethanol: max. 10% by volume. MTBE: max. 15% by volume. The fuel filler cap is located in the right rear quarter panel. Switch off engine. Open fuel door Insert the fuel-pump nozzle beyond the flange on the filler pipe. Do not withdraw the nozzle while fueling is in progress. Stop refueling the first time the pump turns off, indicating the tank is full. NOTE Do not overfill. Fuel should not come right up the filler pipe as expansion room is needed. Fuel-tank capacity: 18.5 US gal. (70 liters) Screw on the filler cap and keep turning until it has clicked at least three times. The most effective way to prevent condensation forming in the tank (and thus avoid possible running problems) is to keep the tank well filled. Before the onset of freezing temperatures in winter, it may be advisable to add gasoline anti-freeze to the fuel a few times to dispel any condensation in the system. Refueling WARNING • Never use fuel for any purpose other than as engine fuel. • Fuel is highly flammable and can cause severe burns. Never use an open flame in the vicinity of gasoline and do not smoke when refuelling. • Do not use the phone when refueling . Gasoline fuels are highly explosive. IB1755
