INERTIAL FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
It is located next to the passenger’s door pillar, at the bottom (move
the covering aside to reach it) and it comes into operation in the case
of a crash by cutting off fuel and switching off the engine.
When the fuel cut-off switch is on, warning light è(if any) comes on
together with the message on the multifunction reconfigurable
display.
Carefully inspect the car to find fuel leaks, e.g. in the engine
compartment, under the car or near the tank.
If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started again, press
button A to reset the fuel system and the lights.
After a crash, remember to turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
battery run-down.
WARNINGIf, after an accident, you can smell petrol or see that the fuel feed system is leaking,
to avoid the risk of fire, do not reset the switch.

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.

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 addition to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel
circuit.

FUEL FILLER CAP
Fuel flap opening is interlocked to door locking/unlocking, hence, if
doors are locked, it is necessary to push on button (D).
The fuel filler cap (C) is fitted with an anti-loss device (B) which
fastens it to the flap (A) so it cannot be mislaid. To slacken the cap
(C), turn it anti-clockwise and remove it.
While refuelling, hook the plug to the device obtained inside the flap
as shown in the figure.
ATTENTION Tank airtight closure can cause a slight pressure. A
possible hiss while unscrewing the plug, is therefore absolutely
normal.
After refuelling, it is necessary to screw on the plug clockwise until
one or more clicks are felt, then turn the key clockwise, remove it and
close the flap.

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 90 HP version)
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. If the dedicated message
is displayed, refer to paragraph “Warning lights and messages”.

fire hazard.
WARNING

HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED (petrol and Multijet versions)
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at
medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒Do not drive at full performance for the initial
kilometres. Wait until the coolant temperature
gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on
with fixed light, the emergency start-up can be
performed by using the CODE card code
(see section “In an emergency”).STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow
the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off
by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.

CORRECT
USE OF
THE CAR
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical
purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines.
Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING

Automatic operation (AUTO - ECO)
The ECO function can be activated only with automatic mode active.
To activate the ECO function press button E set on the mask near the
gearshift lever. After activating this function, the display shows the
gear engaged and words AUTO and E (see figure).
With ECO function active the system will select the most suitable gear
(according to car speed, engine rpm and how the accelerator pedal is
pressed) to save as much fuel as possible.
If necessary (e.g.: overtaking) the system will change gears in order
to provide suitable torque and power for acceleration (this will take
place in automatic mode regardless of ECO function condition, ON or
OFF).

Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
as soon as they are no longer used. These
accessories lower air penetration and adversely
affect consumption levels. When needing to carry
particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing
the requirement of current increases fuel
consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load which
greatly affects the engine leading to higher
consumption (on average up to +20%). When the
temperature outside the vehicle permits it, use the
air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may
adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill
or at idle or high speed: under these conditions the
engine warms up much more slowly, increasing
electrical consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding
high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic lights or
before switching off the engine. This and also
double declutching is absolutely pointless on
modern cars and also increase consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road
allow, use a higher gear. Using a low gear to obtain
brilliant performance increases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions an engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases with
speed. Keep speed as constant as possible, avoid
superfluous braking and accelerating, which cost in
terms of both fuel and emissions. Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs will
greatly affect consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual and should not
exceed the maximum torque.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow
the engine to reach optimum operating temperature.
This results in a significant increase in consumption
levels (from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and
emission of harmful substances.
Traffic situations and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are tied to
situations with heavy traffic, for example in queues
with frequent use of the lower gears or in cities with
many traffic lights. Also winding mountain roads
and rough road surfaces adversely affect
consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g.: level crossings) the
engine should be switched off.
