REFUELLING
Petrol engines:refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of 95 or higher only.
Diesel engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of war-
ranty in relation to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
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: 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 MAR and wait for the warning lights
Yand mto
go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emis-
sions to ensure better respect for the environment.

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 reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF)DPF (DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER)
(for 1.3 Multijet 90 HP - 1.3
Multijet 95 HP versions)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical 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 reg-
ulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the en-
gine 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 particulate,
it should be regenerated (cleaned) at reg-
ular intervals by burning carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled
automatically by the engine management
control unit according to the filter condi-
tions and vehicle use conditions.
The catalytic converter de-
velops high temperature dur-
ing operation. Do not park on grass,
dry leaves, pine needles or other flam-
mable material: fire risk.
WARNING
During the regeneration procedure, the
following situations may occur: limited in-
crease of idle speed, activation of electric
fan, limited increase of smoke, high tem-
peratures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair
vehicle performance or damage the envi-
ronment. If the dedicated message is dis-
played, refer to section “Warning lights
and messages”.
