REFUELLING THE CARStop the engine before refuelling.PETROL ENGINESOnly use unleaded petrol. The petrol octane rating (RON) must not be
lower than 95. In order to prevent damage to the catalytic converter
never introduce even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even in the
event of an emergency.DIESEL ENGINESUse only diesel fuel compliant with European specification EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused.
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the
formation of paraffin clots with consequent defective operation of the
fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel fuel 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 suitable for the temperature of use, it is advisable
to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive with the fuel, in the proportions
shown on the container. Pour the additive into the tank before the 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 fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
FUEL TANK CAPThe fuel flap is unlocked when the central locking system is released
and automatically locked when the central locking system is applied.
Opening
Press flap A fig. 98 to release it and access the fuel tank cap B. Then
press cap B and turn it anticlockwise.
The plug is provided with a loss prevention device C which secures it to
the flap, so it cannot be lost. Attach the cap to device D during
refuelling.

Emergency flap opening
In case of emergency, pull the cord A fig. 99 on the right-hand side of
the boot to open the fuel flap.
Pulling the cord will unlock the flap: it will then be necessary to press
on the flap to open it.
Closure
Release the cap B fig. 98 from the device D and insert it in its housing.
Then tighten the cap clockwise until one or more clicks are heard.
Finally, close the flap A checking that it is correctly locked.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in the tank. A little
breathing off, while slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Also, keep your face away from
this fuel inlet to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.
