catalytic converter never introduce even
the smallest amount of leaded petrol,
even in the event of an emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
49)
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle for a

STARTING AND DRIVING

hand the special filler adapter (see
the following description) over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
the refuelling pump. Adapter A fig.
80, supplied with the car and located in
a special case, 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.Natural Power versions
50)
To access the filler C fig. 81, open the
fuel flap A and undo the cap B turning it
counterclockwise.
The profile of the filler C for refilling is
the universal type compatible with
Italian and NGV1 standards.
In some European countries adapters
are considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in
Germany).
WARNING
46)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.47)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
48)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire
49)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN 590 European specifications. The use
of other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start
the engine. Empty the tank. If the engine
has been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain
the fuel tank, but the rest of the supply
circuit as well.
50)The other plates (provided with the
vehicle documents) show the date when
the first cylinder inspection/test is due.
Methane refuelling stations are not
authorised to refill the cylinders when the
inspection date has expired.

REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
121) 122)51) 52)
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph
"Replacing fuses" in this chapter.
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.
