If driving under severe

conditions

If driving under severe conditions

(heavily laden vehicle, high outside

temperature, 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 immedi-

ately and make sure there are no

flames or sources of fire near the

vehicle;

In the event of an accident

– go to an authorised dealer.

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.
