AT THE FILLING
STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the
fuel tank filler is too small to intro-
duce a lead petrol pump filler. Use
petrol with a rated octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst
leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded
petrol, even in small amount or in an
emergency, as this would damage the
catalyst beyond repair.
MULTIJET ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the forma-
tion of paraffins and could clog the
fuel filter.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deacti-
vated automatically when the trailer
electric cable plug is fitted into the car
tow hook socket.
Sensor is reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒
When parking, take the utmost
care to obstacles set above or under
the sensor.
❒
Objects set close to the car front or
rear part, under certain circum-
stances are not detected and could
therefore cause damages to the car.
❒
Indications sent by the sensor can
be altered by dirt, snow or ice de-
posited on the sensor or by ultra-
sound systems (e.g.: truck pneu-
matic brakes or pneumatic ham-
mers) set nearby the car.
For proper operation, the
parking sensor shall be
clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the
sensor, take the utmost care to pre-
vent damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensor shall be
washed with clean water and car
detergent, if required. In washing
stations, clean sensor quickly keep-
ing the vapour jet/high pressure
washing nozzles at 10 cm at least
from the sensor.
Parking manoeuvres how-
ever are always under the
driver’s responsibility. He/she
shall always check the absence of
people (specially children) or ani-
mals in the manoeuvre space. The
parking sensor is just a help for the
driver but he shall never reduce at-
tention during dangerous manoeu-
vres even if performed at low
speed.
