PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT

The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒ three-way catalytic converter;
❒ Lambda sensor;
❒ fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.

The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒ oxidising catalytic converter;
❒ exhaust gas recirculation system

(E.G.R.);

❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF).

When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the flap as shown in the fig-
ure.

Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the fu-
el filler hole as there is a dan-
ger of fire. Do not bend too

close to the hole either so as not to
breathe in harmful vapours.

During normal service the
catalyst reaches high tem-

peratures. Do not therefore park the
car over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire
hazard.
