FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
The safety switch is triggered in the case
of an impact, cutting off the methane sup-
ply and causing the engine to cut out.
For further information, see the “Fuel cut
off switch” paragraph in the “Controls”
chapter in the Owner Handbook.
AT THE
FILLING STATION
METHANE GAS FILLER
The methane filler is located near the
petrol one Fig. 14.
It is comes complete with a “single-acting”
valve: fitted in the actual filler casing.
To access the filler, undo the cap A - Fig.
15turning it anti-clockwise.
The profile of the filler
Bfor refilling is the
universal type compatible with Italia and
NGV1 standards.
In some European countries adaptors are
considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in Germany).
In the case of service stations with m
3(dif-
ferent pressure) nozzles, to measure the
residual pressure in the canister, the sin-
gle-acting valves must be undone supply-
ing a small amount of methane.
fig. 14F0M0463m
The other plates (handed over with the
car documentation) contain the date for
the first canister inspection.
Those responsible for the methane supply
are not authorized to refill the canisters
when the inspection date has expired.

IDENTIFICATION DATA
IMPORTANT If the car has been
registered in a country other than
Italy, the certification data, identifi-
cation and inspection procedures for
the methane canisters should con-
form to the legislation in that coun-
try. In any case, it should be re-
membered that the life of the can-
isters is 20 years from the produc-
tion date as set out in ECE Regula-
tion no. 110.
Marking the canisters
Each methane canister is identified in the
factory with a stamp on the nose of the
actual canister.

compressed natural gas only);

SYSTEM INSPECTION
The canisters should be inspected, in ac-
cordance with ECE Regulation Procedure
no. 110, every 4 years from the vehicle
registration date or in accordance with
specific regulations in individual countries.

WHEELS
WHEEL REPAIR
The car does not have a spare wheel but
comes with a quick tyre repair kit known
as Fix & Go.
The kit and tools are located in the spe-
cial housings in the cargo box in the lug-
gage compartment Fig. 17. See the in-
structions in the booklet that this supple-
ment comes with.

FUEL SYSTEM (methane)
Dedicated electronic injection for
methane.
Type: Phased, sequential, multipoint.
Injection pressure; about 6 bar.
Stoichiometric metering of the air/
methane gas mixture.
The methane injection system is con-
trolled by the dedicated control unit us-
ing the sensors already on the car, in-
cluding the Lambda sensor for controlling
the fuel metering.
IGNITION
Static advance, electronic, integrated with
the injection.ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Engine cooling system with pressure re-
duction unit heating circuit subject to
strong cooling during operation.
PERFORMANCE
Top speed in km/h.
Running on petrol: 162
Running on methane: 156
Modifications or repairs to
the fuel feed system that are
not carried out properly or do not
take the system’s technical specifica-
tions into account can cause mal-
functions leading to the risk of fire.

form within the maximum permitted loads.
IMPORTANT A trailer cannot be towed so there are no provisions for fitting a tow hook.

Methane
– Methane (*). . . . . . . . . kg (approx) 13
(*) The amount of methane depends on
the outside temperature, the supply pres-
sure, the quality of the gas and the type
of refuelling system. The total volume of
the canisters is about 84 litres.
IMPORTANT It should be remembered
that when using a fuel such as methane the
range is very variable because as well as
the driving conditions and car maintenance
it also depends on the temperature of the
gas in the canister.
The methane actually heats up during the
refuelling and cools down whilst driving,
undergoing variations in pressure that re-
duce the quantity that can be used.
It should also be pointed out that whilst
the vehicle is being run in (up to around
3000 km) the fuel consumption may be
higher than the figures given.
ENGINE OIL
The engine oil used is SELENIA K P.E.

N° F603.C07): SAE 5W-40 ACEA C3
