SPEEDOMETER fig. 12
It shows the engine speed.REV COUNTER fig. 13
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-
er.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal and takes place for exam-
ple when activating the climate control
system or the fan. In these events a slight
increase in engine idling preserves the bat-
tery charge.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin and could cause the malfunction-
ing of the fuel system.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suit-
able for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with DIESEL MIX additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting first
the antifreeze in the tank and then the
diesel fuel.If driving or parking the vehicle for a long
period in cold areas/mountains, refuel with
the diesel fuel available at local filling sta-
tions.
In this situation you are also recom-
mended to have in the tank an amount of
fuel 50% higher than usable capacity. RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs
mobile phones, HAM radio systems and
the like) shall not be used inside the ve-
hicle unless a separate aerial is mounted
on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause elec-
trical systems equipping the vehicle to mal-
function. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with
the instructions for use provided by the
mobile phone’s manufacturer.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 110
To carry out fuelling, open lid Aand un-
screw cap Busing the ignition key; the cap
is fitted with an antiloss device Cwhich
fastens it to the lid so it cannot be mislaid.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the lid as shown in fig. 110.
fig. 110F0N0068m
Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNINGThe vehicle must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with in-
validation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fu-
el, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in ad-
dition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.

❒extra-urban cycle: frequent acceler-
ating in all gears, simulating extraurban
use of the vehicle; the speed varies be-
tween 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calculated
weighing about 37% of urban cycle
consumption and about 63% of ex-
traurban consumption.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the
vehicle;IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
situations, weather conditions, driving
style, general conditions of the vehicle,
trim level/equipment/accessories, load, cli-
mate control system, roof rack, other sit-
uations that affect air drag may lead to dif-
ferent fuel consumption levels than those
measured.
Fuel consumption according to Directive 1999/100/EC (litres x 100 km)
