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.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic
converter leads to harmful exhaust
emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
FILLING THE TANK
To 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 supply system.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an
emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the plug is
absolutely normal.

1) Open flap A fig. 151, pulling it
outwards, hold cap B still, insert the
ignition key in the lock and turn it
anticlockwise.
Operation at low temperatures
WARNING
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.
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.
22) For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN590 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
refuel with another type of fuel, do not start
the engine, and drain the tank. If the
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
fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART
