to LPG mode. After several unsuccess-

ful attempts, the system may decide to

Operating fault

If driving under severe

conditions

If driving under severe conditions (hea-

vily laden vehicle, high outside tempe-

rature, starting on a steep slope, etc),

you are recommended to switch to

petrol mode.

LPG has a very specific

smell so you will be able to

detect any leaks easily. If

you smell gas in your vehi-

cle or immediately surrounding your

vehicle:

– switch to petrol mode immedia-

tely and make sure there are no

flames or sources of fire near the

vehicle;

In the event of a fault which may affect

the correct operation of the engine, the

system automatically switches from

LPG to petrol mode.

This is confirmed by:

– the appearance of the yellow war-

ning light B;

– slow flashing of the green warning

light D;

At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it

is recommended to use ECO mode to

maximise the use of LPG. Please refer

to the information on “Driving advice,

Eco-driving” in Section 2.

– go to an authorised dealer.

– a beep sounds.

In the event of an accident

The main precautions to be taken are

the same as with petrol vehicles:

– apply the handbrake;

– stop the engine (a safety device that

stops LPG from entering the engine

is automatically triggered);

– switch off the ignition;

– observe local regulations.

Do not touch, hit or dis-

mantle any part of the LPG

system components.
