Warning light ucomes on when the
coolant is too hot.
Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.
FUEL GAUGE
This gauge indicates the litres of fu-
el present in the tank.
When warning light Kcomes on, it
indicates that between 5 and 8 litres
of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

values REV COUNTER
If the needle is in the red zone, it
shows your vehicle is overrevving.
This is only acceptable for a few mo-
ments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic in-
jection control system cuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving”. This will lead to a loss of en-
gine power.
When the engine is running idle, the
revolution counter can indicate a
gradual or sudden revolution in-
crease. This is normal and should not
worry you, since it usually happens
during normal operations, such as the
climate system activation or the fan
activation. In particular, a slow revo-
lution variation is needed to preserve
the battery charge.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should hov-
er around the middle of the scale. If
it approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.D– button for canceling the function

REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry
out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun.
Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel
system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 172
The fuel filler cap Ais locked; to ac-
cess it, open the fuel tank flap Bwith
the ignition key and turn it anticlock-
wise while releasing the cap.
During filling, hang the cap to the
hook inside the flap, as illustrated.
fig. 172

The vehicle must only
be filled with diesel fuel
for motor vehicles, in
compliance with European Stan-
dard EN590. The use of other
products or mixtures may ir-
reparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warran-
ty 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.
If driving or parking the vehicle for
a long period in cold areas/mountains,
refuel with the diesel fuel available at
local filling stations.
In this situation you are also recom-
mended to have in the tank an amount
of fuel 50% higher than usable capac-
ity.AT THE FILLING
STATION
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel thickens due to the for-
mation of paraffin and could cause the
malfunctioning of the fuel system.
In order to avoid these problems, dif-
ferent types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain 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.

FUEL
CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values shown
in the tables below here were defined
on the basis of the type-approval tests
specified in European Directives.
Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:
– an urban cycleconsisting of a
cold start and simulated drive in city
streets;– an extra-urban cycleconsisting
in frequent acceleration, in alla gears,
simulating normal conditions from 0 to
120 km/h;
– combined consumptionis cal-
culated as approximately 37% of the
urban cycle and approximately 63% of
the extra-urban cycle.IMPORTANT Road and traffic
conditions, weather, general con-
ditions of the vehicle, driving
style, fittings and accessories, use
of the climate control system,
load, roof racks and other situa-
tions penalising aerodynamic
penetration and affecting rolling
resistance will influence fuel con-
sumption rates which can be dif-
ferent from the values shown in
the table (see Cheap running that
respects the environment in
chapter Driving your car).
