refuelling FIAT STILO 2006 1.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. The use of other prod-
ucts or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused.
ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines with mechanical gearbox: 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.
Petrol engines with Selespeed gearbox: keep the brake pedal fully depressed; turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine has started; the transmission sets to neutral automatically.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights
Yand mto go off; turn the igni-
tion 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.

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.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 128
The fuel filler cap Ais fitted with an an-
tiloss device Bwhich fastens it to the lid
Cso it cannot be mislaid.
To slacken the cap, turn it counterclock-
wise and remove it.The cap Ais fitted with key-lock: open the
lid Cthen, turn the ignition key in the lock
and open the cap.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the de-
vice inside the lid as shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank may
cause light pressurising in the tank. A lit-
tle breathing off, while slackening the cap,
is absolutely normal.
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise un-
til it clicks, then turn the key clockwise,
remove it and close the flap.
fig. 128F0C0199m
Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING

EBD
(ELECTRONIC
BRAKING
DISTRIBUTOR) (red) (amber)
The turning on at the same time of warn-
ing lights
xand >with the engine run-
ning indicates an EBD system failure or
that the system is unavailable; in this case
heavy braking may cause the rear wheels
to lock before time, with the possibility of
skidding.
Drive with the utmost care to the near-
est Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.

WATER IN DIESEL
FUEL FILTER
(Multijet versions)
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when there is
water in the diesel fuel filter.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.INEFFICIENT ABS
SYSTEM (amber)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light turns on,
but it should go off after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the sys-
tem is inefficient or unavailable. In this case
the braking system keeps its effectiveness
unchanged, but without the potential of-
fered by the ABS system.
Caution is advisable and it is necessary to
contact Fiat Dealership.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
c
The presence of water in the
fuel circuit may cause serious
damage to the entire injection
system and cause irregular en-
gine operation. If the warning light
cturns on (together with the message on
the display), contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible to have the system re-
lieved. If the above indications come on
immediately after refuelling, water has
probably been poured into the tank:
turn the engine off immediately and
contact Fiat Dealership.
