KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
If they are open, they can cause the
system to send false signals: always
close the rear doors.
Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
WARNING
114)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow and ice in order for the system
to work. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of car shampoo
if necessary. When using special washing
equipment such as high pressure jets or
steam cleaning, clean the sensors very
quickly keeping the jet more than 10 cm
away.
115)Parking manoeuvres, however, are
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The parking sensor is designed
to assist drivers, who must still never
allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres even if
performed at low speed.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not 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.
DIESEL ENGINES
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 are distributed
according to the season: summer
type, winter type and Arctic type (cold,
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
whose specifications are not suitable
for the usage temperature, it is
advisable to mix PETRONAS
DURANCE DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. 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 diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
22)
TANK CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
Opening
1) Open the flap A fig. 156 by pulling it
outwards, keep the cap B still, insert
the ignition key in the lock and turn
it anticlockwise.
141
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it. The cap has a device C that
attaches it to the flap so it cannot be
lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
