Faults and remedies
If gas mode is not possible, check the following:
■ Is there enough liquid gas present?
■ Is there enough petrol present for starting?
Due to extreme temperatures in
combination with the gas
composition, it may take slightly
longer before the system switches
from petrol to liquid gas mode.
In extreme situations, the system may
also switch back to petrol mode if the
minimum requirements are not
fulfilled.
Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of all other faults.Caution
Repairs and adjustments may onlybe made by trained specialists in
order to maintain the safety and
warranty on the LPG system.
Liquid gas is given a particular odour
(odorised) so that any leaks can be
detected easily.
9 Warning
If you smell gas in the vehicle or in
the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No
smoking. No naked flames or
ignition sources.
If possible, close the manual shut-off
valve on the multivalve. The
multivalve is located on the liquid gas
tank in the load compartment,
underneath the rear floor cover.
Turn the thumb wheel clockwise.
If no further gas odour is perceptible
when the manual shut-off valve is
closed, the vehicle can be used in
petrol mode. If the gas odour persists, do not start the engine. Have the
cause of the fault remedied by a
workshop.
When using underground car parks,
follow the instructions of the operator
and local laws.
Notice
In the event of an accident, switch off
the ignition and lights. Close the
manual shut-off valve on multivalve.
