ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
The devices used to reduce petrol engine
emissions are:
– trivalent catalytic converter (catalytic si-
lencer);
– Lambda sensors;
– anti-evaporation system.
If one or more spark plugs are discon-
nected, do not run the engine, even for a
test.
The devices used to reduce diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are:
– oxidising catalyst;
– exhaust gas re-circulation system
(E. G. R.).
Do not go near the fuel
filler with naked flames or
lit cigarettes: danger of
fire. Avoid going too near the fuel
filler with your face, to avoid in-
haling harmful vapours.
In the case of need, only
replace the fuel cap with
another genuine one, or the
efficiency of the fuel vapour re-
covery system could be adversely
affected.
Should it be not possible to open the fuel
flap electrically, use the special cable in the
boot (
A-fig. 166 ) to open it manually.
Due to the high tempera-
tures reached during oper-
ation of the catalytic si-
lencer the vehicle should not be
parked over inflammable materials
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles,
etc.).

IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank
may cause light pressurising. A little breath-
ing off, while slackening the cap is ab-
solutely normal.
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise and
close the flap.
IMPORTANT For your safety, before
starting the engine, also make sure that the
fuel nozzle is correctly inserted in the fuel
distributor.
