STARTING AND DRIVING
146
If the boot is to be re-painted following
to repairs, make sure the paint does not
get in contact with the camera.
When parking, take the utmost care over
obstacles that may be above or under the
operating range of the camera.
WARNING
109) Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a slow
speed, so as to promptly brake in the case of
obstacles.
IMPORTANT
28) It is vital, for correct operation, that
the camera is always kept clean and free
from any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful
not to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of vehicle
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets, clean
the camera quickly, keeping the nozzle more
than 10 cm away from the sensors. Also, do
not apply stickers to the camera.
REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
Before refuelling, check you are using the
correct type of fuel.
Furthermore, turn off the engine before
refuelling.
Only refuel with unleaded petrol with
octane number (R.O.N.) not less than 95,
containing max. 10% Ethanol (E10), in
compliance with European specification
EN228.
For use on the track, to obtain the best
performance, only refuel with unleaded
petrol with octane number not less
than 98, containing max. 5% Ethanol
(E5), in compliance with the European
specification EN228.
Do not use petrol containing methanol or
ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may
cause misfiring and driving issues, as
well as damage vital components of the
supply system.
WARNING The car’s engine has
been designed to comply with
all emission limits while ensuring
minimal consumption and maximum
performance, using premium-quality
unleaded petrol with an octane number
(R.O.N.) of 98 or higher. Fuels containing
ethanol and methanol should not be used
when driving the car on a race track.
WARNING Never introduce leaded petrol
to the tank, even in small amounts in an
emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
WARNING An inefficient catalytic
converter leads to harmful exhaust
emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
