YOUR CAR
AT THE FILLING
STATION
Use unleaded petrol only, with octane
number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.
REFILLING
To ensure full fuel tank refilling, perform
two topping up after the first stop of the
nozzle. Do not top up further; this may
cause anomalies in the fuel supply system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 60
The cap Bis provided with a loss pre-
vention device Cwhich secures it to the
lid A.
Unscrew cap Busing the ignition key. The
airtight closing may determine a slight in-
crease of pressure in the tank. A suction
noise when you release the cap is there-
fore entirely normal. When refuelling, fas-
ten the cap to the device inside the lid as
shown in figure.Do not approach naked
flames or lit cigarettes to the
fuel filler: fire risk. Keep your
face away from the fuel filler
to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
fig. 60F0S059Ab
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 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 .
