REFUELLING THE CAR
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fuel filler is too
small to introduce the nozzle of a leaded petrol pumps.
The petrol octane rating (RON) must not be lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads to
harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 105
To carry out refuelling, open flap A and unscrew cap B.
The cap is fitted with a device C which fastens it to the
lid so it cannot be mislaid.
In some versions, cap B has a lock and key: open flap A,
insert the ignition key then turn it anticlockwise and
unscrew the cap itself.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in the
tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the device inside the
flap as shown in the
figure.

HEAVY USAGE OF THE CAR
Should the car be used predominantly in one of the
following particularly demanding conditions:
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving (e. g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in
the case of long term inactivity;
❒in cities;
perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and
linkage cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of accessory drive belts;
❒check pollen filter and replace it, if required;
❒check air filter and replace, if required.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top up the following:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
