SELECTING THE
TYPE OF FUEL SUPPLY
The car is configured for running inde-
pendently on either petrol or LPG.
The engine is always started on petrol
with an automatic shift to LPG after about
40 seconds at the first significant acceler-
ation.
This is the time required to reach opti-
mum conditions (engine coolant temper-
ature, minimum revs level) for the switch
to LPG.
As far as what has been said
is concerned, there must always be
some petrol in the tank (at least 1/4
full)
in order not to compromise the op-
eration of the fuel pump.
When running on LPG, when
the last red LED on gas quan-
tity indicator (visible on the
switch) comes on, refuelling is
advisable. If the LPG runs out during
LPG operation, the system automati-
cally switches to running on petrol
shown by: the amber LED coming on
constantly and the green LED flashing,
the fuel level LEDs going out and a
buzzer in the switch.
In addition, it is advisable to periodically
use up the petrol in the tank (until the re-
serve warning light comes on) in order to
ensure that the petrol does not become
old and possibly deteriorate.
The petrol/LPG switch

, located on
the centre tunnel (next to the gear lever)
allows the driver to select petrol or LPG
operation at their discretion.
