CLEAN AIR GASOLINE
Many gasolines are now being
blended that contribute to cleaner air,
especially in those areas where air
pollution levels are high. These new
blends provide a cleaner burning fuel
and some are referred to as “reformu-
lated gasoline.”
The manufacturer supports these ef-
forts toward cleaner air. You can help
by using these blends as they become
available.
MMT IN GASOLINE
MMT is a manganese containing me-
tallic additive that is blended into
some gasoline to increase octane.
Gasoline blended with MMT provides
no performance advantage beyond
gasoline of the same octane number
without MMT. Gasoline blended with
MMT reduces spark plug life and re-
duces emission system performance in
some vehicles. The manufacturer rec-
ommends that gasoline without MMT
be used in your vehicle. The MMT
content of gasoline may not be indi-
cated on the gasoline pump; therefore,you should ask your gasoline retailer
whether or not his/her gasoline con-
tains MMT.
MATERIALS ADDED TO
FUEL
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasolines
that contain detergents, corrosion and
stability additives are recommended.
Using gasolines that have these addi-
tives will help improve fuel economy,
reduce emissions, and maintain ve-
hicle performance.
Indiscriminate use of fuel system
cleaning agents should be avoided.
Many of these materials intended for
gum and varnish removal may con-
tain active solvents or similar ingredi-
ents. These can harm fuel system gas-
ket and diaphragm materials.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust
gases is deadly. Follow the precau-
tions below to prevent carbon mon-
oxide poisoning:
Do not inhale exhaust gases. They
contain carbon monoxide, a col-
orless and odorless gas which can
kill. Never run the engine in a
closed area, such as a garage, and
never sit in a parked vehicle with
the engine running for an ex-
tended period of time. If the ve-
hicle is stopped in an open area
with the engine running for more
than a short period, adjust the
ventilation system to force fresh,
outside air into the vehicle.
Guard against carbon monoxide with proper maintenance. Have
the exhaust system inspected ev-
ery time the vehicle is raised.
Have any abnormal conditions
repaired promptly. Until re-
paired, drive with all side win-
dows fully open.

(TUTELA DIESEL ART, Contractual Technical Reference N° F601.L06. To be
mixed with the diesel fuel: 25 cc per 10 litres)
* Do not top up or mix with fluids
with different specifications.
** For particularly harsh climate con-
ditions, a mixture of 60% PARA-
FLUUP and 40% demineralised wa-
ter is recommended. *** Lubricants with ACEA C3 perfor-
mance as a minimum may be used for
Diesel engines in an emergency, where
no original products are available. In
such event, the engine may not pro-
vide optimal performance. We recom-
mend having the lubricant replacedwith one of the recommended lubri-
cants as soon as possible. Using prod-
ucts with specifications lower than
ILSAC GF-5 for gasoline engines or
lower than ACEA C3 for Diesel en-
gines may cause engine damage not
covered by warranty.
