PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-
el tank filler is too small to introduce a lead
petrol pump filler. Use petrol with a rat-
ed octane number (R.O.N.) not lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffins and could clog the diesel fu-
el filter.
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).
Topping up with diesel fuel not complying
with EN590 European Norm might make
it necessary to replace the filter more fre-
quently than indicated in the Service
schedule.
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 sta-
tions.
In this situation you are also recom-
mended to have in the tank an amount of
fuel 50% higher than usable capacity.The car 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.

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.
When running at speed higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full load inflation values.
With T.P.M.S. system, pressure value shall be + 0.1 bar than prescribed value.
