AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler
is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump filler. Use
petrol with a rated octane number (R.O.N.) not lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to harmful
exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amount or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalyst beyond repair.
MULTIJET ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin and could
cause the malfunctioning of the fuel system.In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season: summer
type, winter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for the
current temperature, mix diesel fuel with TUTELA
DIESEL ART 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 stations.
In this situation you are also recommended to have in
the tank an amount of fuel 50% higher than usable
capacity.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two refuelling
operations after the first click of the fuel delivery gun.
Avoid further topping up operations that could cause
damages to the fuel system.

AND CONTROLS
The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European Standard
EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of
the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally 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 addi-
tion to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel circuit.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.).
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF)
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) (for 1.3 Multijet versions 90 HP)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps particulates present
in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
The diesel particular filter has been adopted to eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future
law regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures,
etc.) and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.
Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the vehicle.
During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase,
high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be considered as faults and they do not affect vehicle performance
and environment.

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 car;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car; the speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of
extraurban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car,
trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may
lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
