REFUELLING THE CAR

Versions equipped with "Smart Fuel" system are

provided with an inhibiter which prevents refuelling

with incorrect fuel.

Accidental refuelling with non-compliant fuels (e.g.

petrol in Diesel engines) can only occur in the case

of versions equipped with fuel tank cap. Before

refuelling, make sure that the fuel type is correct.

Stop the engine before refuelling.

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number

(R.O.N.) no lower than 95. In order to prevent

damage to the catalytic converter never introduce

even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even

in the event of an emergency.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads

to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to

air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small

amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage

the catalytic converter beyond repair.

DIESEL ENGINES

Operation at low temperatures

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.

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). If refuelling with diesel fuel

whose specifications are not suitable for the current

temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL

ART additive in the proportions shown on the

container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the

tank before the diesel fuel.

When using or parking the car for a long time in the

mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel

using locally available diesel. In this case, it is also

advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

For diesel engines, only use 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

engine has been run, even for only a very short

time, you will need to have the entire fuel system

emptied in addition to the tank.
