FUEL SUPPLY/ IGNITION
Integrated multipoint electronic in-
jection and ignition system: only one
electronic control unit controls both
functions. It processes both the time
the injection lasts (for petrol meter-
ing) and the ignition advance angle.
Type: Multipoint.
Air cleaner: dry, with paper filtering
element.
Fuel pump: by immersion, in the tank.
Injection pressure 3 barMixture metered by electronic pro-
cessing of the data picked up by the
engine speed sensor and absolute
pressure sensor in the intake manifold.
Petrol metering system : a “Closed
Loop” (information on the combus-
tion trend transmitted by the sensor
Lambda).
Ignition order: 1-3-4-2.
Spark plugs:
Modifications or repairs
to the fuel feed system
that are not carried out
properly or do not take the sys-
tem’s technical specifications in-
to account can cause malfunc-
tions leading to the risk of fire.
LUBRICATION
Forced-feed with gear pump with
pressure relief valve incorporated.
Oil purification through full-flow car-
tridge filter.
COOLING
Cooling system with radiator, cen-
trifugal pump and expansion tank.
Thermostat on the secondary circuit
for recirculating the water from the
engine to the radiator. “By-pass con-
trolled” thermostat.
Electrical fan for cooling the radiator
with connection/disconnection, con-
trolled by a thermostatic switch lo-
cated on the radiator.

sorbing steering column.
Mechanical or hydraulic rack and pin-
ion command with permanent lubri-
cation.
Hydraulic power steering (as pro-
vided).

IMPORTANTThe light alloy
wheels are fixed with specific bolt in-
compatible with any printed steel
wheels, excluding the specific spare
wheel.
SNOW TYRES
Use reduced dimension winter tyres,
see “Snow Chains” chapter.
WHEEL GEOMETRY
Convergence of the front wheel mea-
sured between the rims: –1±1(Power
Steering), +1mm (Mechnical Steering).
The values refer to a car after running in.
WHEELS AND
TYRES
Pressed steel or alloy (as provided)
wheel rims; specific fixing bolts (di-
mensionally different and respective-
ly incompatible) for each of the two
types of rim.
IMPORTANTIn the event of dis-
crepancies between the information in
the Owner Handbook and the Log
Book, consider the specifications giv-
en in the Log Book only.
To ensure safety of the vehicle in
movement, it must be fitted with tyres
of specified size and of the same make
and type on all wheels.
