refuelling FIAT BRAVO 2009 2.G Owners Manual

MUST BE READ!


K
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the Eu-
ropean specification EN 228.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. Using other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty cover for caused dam-
ages as a consequence.
ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights
Y(or symbol on display) and mto go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine nee-
dles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to en-
sure better respect for the environment.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
The car must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures
may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due
to the damage caused. In the event of
accidentally filling with another type
of fuel, do not start the engine and
empty the tank. If the engine has been
run even for only a very short time, in
addition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type arctic type (mountains/cold ar-
eas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for
the current temperature, mix diesel fuel
with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting first
the antifreeze in the tank and then the
diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is
used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period. In this event you
are recommended to keep an amount of
fuel higher than 50% in the tank.AT THE FILLING
STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-
el tank filler is too small to introduce a lead
petrol pump filler.
Use petrol with a rated octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.REFUELLING
To ensure full tank refuelling, carry out
two top-up operations once the delivery
gun has turned off twice. Avoid further
top-up operations which could cause faults
in the fuel system.

The presence of water in the
fuel circuit may cause serious
damage to the entire injec-
tion system and cause irreg-
ular engine operation. If the warning
light
cturns on (together with the
message on the display), contact Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system relieved. If the above
indications come on immediately af-
ter refuelling, water has probably
