REFUELLING
JTD engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty
due to the damage caused.
ENGINE START-UP
JTD engines:make sure the handbrake is pulled up; put the gear lever into neutral; press the clutch pedal
down to the floor without touching the accelerator; then turn the ignition key to Mand wait for the instru-
ment panel warning light mto go out, then turn the ignition key to Dand release it as soon as the engine
starts.
JTD enegines with automatic gearbox:make sure the handbrake is pulled up and the gear lever is in P
or N; then turn the ignition key to Mand wait for the instrument panel warning light mto go out, then turn
the key to D, without touching the accelerator and release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING OVER INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL
When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park
the vehicle over inflammable material, grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.: fire hazard.

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
The instrument shows the level of fu-
el in the tank.
The reserve warning light Kwill light
up to indicate that there are approxi-
mately 5÷8 litres of fuel level left in the
tank and that refuelling is needed as
soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

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.C– button for confirming the se-

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.

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

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.
