DIESEL ENGINES
REFUELLING THE CAR
For diesel engines, use only
diesel fuel for motor vehicles
Operation at low temperatures
in accordance with EN590
PETROL ENGINES
European specifications.
If the outside temperature is very low,
diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent defective
operation of the fuel supply system.
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 and empty
the tank. If the engine has run, even
for a very short time, you will need
to have the entire fuel system
emptied in addition to the tank.
Use unleaded petrol only, with octane
number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic
converter leads to harmful exhaust
emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel fuel are
distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic
type (cold/mountain areas).
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an
emergency, as this would damage
the catalytic converter beyond repair.
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 CAPACITY
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel delivery
gun. Further top-ups could cause
failures in the fuel feeding system.
