If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
When using or parking the car 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.
LPG ENGINES
The gas filler is located next to the petrol
filler cap. It has a "non return", located in
the filler body itself.
To access the filler 1 fig. 68open the

the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
turn the ignition key to the STOP
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter 3 over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
The adapter 3 is located in a special case.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are different types of adapters for
refuelling pumps. The adapter that comes
with the car is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If you
are in a different country, find out what
type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Only use the adapter
supplied with the vehicle as it is equipped
with a dedicated fuel pre-filter.
REFUELLING CAPACITY

completely, top up twice after the first

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Check that the corresponding
contacts are not oxidised and that the
corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this chapter.
replace blown bulbs with others of the
same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or
damp or after heavy rain or washing, the
surface of headlights or rear lights may
steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the
glass which does not indicate a fault and
does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist
disappears quickly when the lights are
turned on, starting from the centre of the
diffuser, extending progressively
towards the edges.71A0K0622C
