AND CONTROLS
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 suit-
able for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions
stated on the can, putting first the an-
tifreeze in the tank and then the diesel
fuel.
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 us-
able capacity.
The car must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor
vehicles, in compliance
with European Specifica-
tion EN590. The use of other prod-
ucts or mixtures may irreparably
damage the engine with invalidation
of the warranty 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 addi-
tion to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out
two refuelling operations after the first
click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid fur-
ther topping up operations that could
cause damages to the fuel system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 91
The fuel filler cap A is fitted with an
antiloss device B which fastens it to
the flap C so it cannot be mislaid.
To slacken the cap A first open the
flap C .
The airtight seal of the cap may lead
to a slight increase of pressure in the
tank. A hissing sound when the cap is
removed is therefore quite normal.
When refuelling, position the cap on
the device inside the flap as shown in
the figure.
fig. 91 L0C0024m
Do not put naked flames
or lighted cigarettes near
the fuel filler hole: danger of fire.
Do not bend too close to the hole ei-
ther so as not to breathe in harm-
ful vapours.
