FUEL CAP
The fuel cap (C-fig. 164) is electrically
controlled. To open it, press button (D-
fig. 165); the flap can be opened only
when the engine is off.
The fuel cap (A-fig. 164), accessible af-
ter opening the lid (C), is fitted with a catch
to prevent losing it (B) which fastens it to the
lid.
When refuelling, hook the cap to the de-
vice on the inner flap, as illustrated.
REFUELLING
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent accidentally filling with leaded
petrol, the diameter of the fuel tank filler
is of such a size as not to accept the noz-
zle of this type of petrol.
The unleaded petrol octane number
(R.O.N.) used shall not be less than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst
leads to harmful emission at the exhaust,
thus environment pollution.
IMPORTANTNever put leaded petrol,
even in small quantity, in the tank, even if
it is an emergency. This would irreversibly
damage the exhaust gas catalyst.
JTD ENGINES
At low temperatures the degree of fluidi-
ty of fuel oil may become insufficient due to
the formation of paraffins leading to mal-
functioning of the fuel system.
Therefore, to avoid inconveniences, sum-
mer and winter fuel oils are normally dis-
tributed depending on the season.
In the event the car is filled with fuel oil
unsuitable for the using temperature, mix
it with DIESEL MIX additive in the propor-
tions stated on the can, firstly putting the
antifreeze in the tank and then the fuel oil.
The vehicle must only be
filled with fuel oil for mo-
tor vehicles, in compliance
with European Specification
EN590. The use of other products
or mixtures may irreparably dam-
age the engine with invalidation of
the warranty due to the damage
caused. In the event of accidental-
ly filling with another type of fuel,
do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in
addition to the tank, it is also nec-
essary to empty the whole supply
circuit.

IN AN EMERGENCY
212
STARTING BY INERTIA
If the car is equipped with “Kit for tyre
repair Fix&Go“, see the instructions con-
tained in the following chapter.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
As an alternative to FIX & GO, the com-
pact spare wheel or a wheel with the nor-
mal size can be supplied upon request;
wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and compact spare wheel call for
some precautions as listed below.
IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE
Never push, tow or
coast start the vehicle.
This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalyst damaging
it irreversibly.
Remember that the
engine brake and power
steering are not opera-
tional until the engine is started,
therefore, much greater effort
than usual is needed on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.
Signal the presence of
the stationary vehicle
according to current regu-
lations: hazard warning lights,
reflecting triangle etc..
Any passengers should leave
the car and wait for the wheel to
be changed out of harm of the
traffic.
If parked on a slope or rough
surface, chock the wheels with
wedges or other suitable devices
to prevent the car from rolling.
Never start the engine
with the car jacked.
When driving with a
trailer, disconnect the trailer
before raising the car.
The compact spare wheel is spe-
cific to your car, do not use it on
other models, or use the spare
wheel of other models on your
vehicle.
Should the type of wheels used
be changed (alloy rims instead of
steel), it is also necessary to
change the whole set of fastening
bolts with others of suitable size.
The compact spare wheel is nar-
rower than normal wheels, it
should be used only for the dis-
tance necessary to reach a service
point to have the punctured tyre
repaired and, during its use, the
car speed must not exceed 80
km/h.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis of
the homologation tests set down by specif-
ic European directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
–urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the car;IMPORTANT The type of route,
traffic situations, weather condi-
tions, driving style, general condi-
tions of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load,
presence of a roof rack, use of the
climate control system, other situ-
ations that affect air drag may lead
to different fuel consumption levels
than those measured (see “Reduc-
ing running costs and environment
pollution” in the chapter “Correct
use of the car”).

consumption and about 63% of extraurban
