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 rat-
ed 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.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel filter.
In order to avoid these problems, different
types of diesel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type arc-
tic type (mountains/cold areas).
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.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.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.

Diesel Particulate Filter clogged
If the dedicated message is displayed, re-
fer to section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”.
During normal service the
catalyst and the diesel par-
ticulate filter (DPF) reach high tem-
peratures. Do not therefore park the
car over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire
hazard.
WARNING
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒ three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒ exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒Lambda sensors;
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where
provided it is fitted instead of the Lamb-
da sensor).DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF) (where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter, integral with the exhaust system,
that physically traps particulates present
in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
The diesel particular filter has been adopt-
ed to eliminate almost totally particulates
in compliance with current / future law
regulations.
During normal use of the car, the engine
control unit records a set of data (e.g.:
travel time, type of route, temperatures,
etc.) and it will then calculate how much
particulates has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles. Re-
claiming procedure is controlled auto-
matically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the car. During re-
claiming the following phenomena could
take place: idling slight increase, fan acti-
vation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust
temperatures. These situations shall not
be considered as faults and they do not af-
fect car performance and environment.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the
car;IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
situations, weather conditions, driving
style, general conditions of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, other situations
that affect air drag may lead to different
fuel consumption levels than those mea-
sured.
❒ extra-urban cycle: frequent acceler-
ating in all gears, simulating extraurban
use of the car; the speed varies be-
tween 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calculat-
ed weighing about 37% of urban cycle
consumption and about 63% of ex-
traurban consumption.
Fuel consumption according to Directive 1999/100/EC (litres x 100 km)
