The car must only be filled with diesel fuel
for motor vehicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, due to the damage caused. If you acciden-
tally introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the
engine has been run, even for only a very short time,
you will need to have the entire fuel system emp-
tied in addition to the tank.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel thickens due
to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent defec-
tive operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel
are distributed according to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold/mountain areas). If refuelling
with diesel fuel whose specifications are not suitable for
the current temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA
DIESEL ART additive in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive into the tank before
the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.

WARNING
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 96 and 97
The cap B is fitted with an antiloss device C retaining it to
the flap A so it cannot be lost.
To slacken the cap B, first open the flap A. The sealing may
cause a slight pressure increase in the tank. A little breath-
ing off, while slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the device inside the flap
as shown in the figure.
