MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines:only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95.
Multijet engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the
warranty due to the damage caused.
ENGINE STARTING
petrol engines:make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully
depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as
soon as the engine has started.
Multijet engines:turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the instrument panel warning light Y
andmto go out, then turn the ignition key to AV Vand release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental
protection is fitted in your car.

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.

Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed inflation pressure when the tyres are warm. Recheck pressure value with cold tyres.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the inflation pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
