CAR REFUELLING
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the
fuel filler is too small to introduce the
beak of a leaded petrol pump. The
petrol octane rating (RON) must not
be 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 amounts or in an emer-
gency, as this would damage the cat-
alyst beyond repair.MULTIJET ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the forma-
tion of paraffin clots with consequent
anomalous operation of the fuel sup-
ply system.
In order to avoid these problems, dif-
ferent types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas). If refuelling with
diesel fuel whose features are not suit-
able to the temperature of use, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions
shown on the container with the fuel.
Pour the additive into the tank before
the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold ar-
eas, it is advisable to refuel using lo-
cally available fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full. To guarantee the effective
operation of the system, the
sensors must be kept clean at
all times. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the sensors while
cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. Clean the sensors with
clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. At car wash
centres that use steam or high pres-
sure water jets, clean the sensors
quickly keeping the nozzle more than
10 cm away.
The driver is, however, al-
ways held responsible for
parking and other dangerous ma-
noeuvres. When carrying out this
manoeuvre, ensure that there are no
people, animals or object within the
manoeuvring area. Parking sensors
are designed to assist drivers: in all
cases, you must always pay the ut-
most attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres.

FUEL FILLER CAP
The opening of the fuel flap is inter-
locked with the door opening/closing
control. For this reason, if the doors
are locked, in order to refuel, press
buttonD-fig. 122.
The cap C-fig, 121is provided with a
loss prevention device Bwhich secures
it to the lid Aso that it cannot be lost.
To open the cap C, turn it anticlock-
wise and remove it. FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up
twice after the pump switches off.
Further top-ups could cause faults in
the fuel feeding system.
For diesel engines, use diesel
fuel for motor vehicles com-
pliant with EN590 Euro-
pean specifications only. The
use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently cause lapse of warranty
in relation to the damage caused. If
you accidentally introduce other types
of fuel in the tank, do not start the en-
gine and empty the tank. If the engine
has run also for a very short time, you
will need to have the entire fuel feed
system emptied in addition to the
tank.

In an emergency it is possible to open
the flap by pulling the cord A-fig. 123.

peratures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late the amount of particulates trapped
by the filter. Since this filter physically
traps particulates, it shall be cleaned
(reclaimed) at regular intervals by
burning carbon particles. The regener-
ation procedure is controlled automat-
ically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the car. During the
regeneration procedure, the following
situations may occur: limited increase
of idle speed, activation of electric fan,
limited increase of smoke, high tem-
peratures at the exhaust. These are not
anomalies; they do not impair car be-
haviour and the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed, refer to
section “Warning lights and messages”.PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention 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 en-
gine 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 CV versions)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a me-
chanical filter, integral with the exhaust
system, that physically traps particu-
lates present in the exhaust gases of
Diesel engines. The diesel particulate
filter has been adopted to eliminate al-
most totally particulates in compliance
with current / future law regulations.
During normal use of the car, the en-
gine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem- During refuelling, attach the cap to
the device on the inside of the flap, as
shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank
may cause light pressuring in the
tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap, is absolutely nor-
mal.
After refuelling, tighten the cap by
turning it clockwise until you hear one
or more clicks. Then turn the key
clockwise and remove it and close the
flap.
Do not place naked flames
or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
WARNING
The catalytic converter de-
velops high temperature
during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material: fire risk.

Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably in-
creases as speed increases. Keep your
speed as even as possible, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration
which cause excessive fuel consump-
tion and increase emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very nega-
tive effect on consumptions and emis-
sions: accelerate gradually and do not
go over the maximum torque ratio.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold
start-ups will prevent the engine from
reaching optimal running tempera-
ture. Consequently, both consumption
(from +15 to +30% on urban cycle )
and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when trav-
elling in a queue with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traf-
fic lights. Mountain and rough roads
also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a
type-approved tow hitch and ade-
quate electrical system to tow cara-
vans or trailers. Installation must be
performed by specialised personnel
who will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
rear-view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtak-
ing takes longer depending on the
overall weight.
When driving downhill engage a low
gear, rather than constantly using the
brake.

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;
❒extraurban cycle: frequent accelerations in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car: speed varies between 0
and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: 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.
