Fuel grade
Use a high grade fuel that complies
with the standards currently in force in
each country.
Petrol versions
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
Depending on the vehicle, the octane
rating (RON) must comply with the in-
formation on the label located beside
the filler neck.
Refer to the information on “Engine
specifications” in Section 6.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that
complies with the information given on
the label beside the filler neck.
Make sure that no water accidentally
enters the fuel tank during filling. The
shut-off system and its surrounding
area must be dust-free.
Capacity of the fuel tank: 50 litres
ap-
proximately.
Fuel tank
Do not mix even small vol-
umes of petrol with diesel
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not
compatible with this fuel.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific to the vehicle type.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical to
the original cap. Contact your ap-
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
FUEL TANK (1/2)
As a safety measure, the sliding side
door located on the fuel filler flap
side locks when the flap is opened.
For more information, refer to the in-
formation on “Central door locking/
unlocking” in Section 1.

Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all electri-
cal components which are not really
needed. h
owever (safety first), keep
your lights on when the visibility is
poor (“see and be seen”).


Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –

In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning , it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in city conditions) when it is
used. For vehicles fitted with manual
air conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption and therefore helping
to protect the environment:

If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.


Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.


Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.


It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob -
jects.


When towing a caravan, fit an ap -
proved wind deflector and adjust it
carefully; –

Avoid using the vehicle for door -
to-door calls (short journeys with
long waits in between) because the
engine never reaches its normal op-
erating temperature.
t yres
– Inadequate pressures may increase
fuel consumption.

The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.

Bodywork maintenance
BOdywORk MAIntenAnCe (1/2)
– Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.


Drive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the ve-
hicle, particularly under the wheel
arches and body.
y ou should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents (eg. the engine compart-
ment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (eg. inside the fuel flap)
and painted plastic external fittings
(eg. bumpers) using high-pressure
cleaning equipment or by spraying
on products not approved by our
Technical Department. If adequate
precautions are not taken, this could
give rise to corrosion or operational
faults.


Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.


Scrape off mud or dirt without pre -
wetting.


Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im -
pacts.
Protection against the effects
of corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion prod-
ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to
the effects of:


corrosives in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (urban and
industrial areas);


saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);


seasonal and damp climatic con -
ditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter,
water from road cleaners, etc.).


abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other vehi-
cles, etc.


minor impacts
You should take a minimum number of
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks and not to
lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti-
corrosion protection.
