RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental
protection is fitted in your car.
MUST BE READ!
ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as
the engine has started.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
Y
and m warning lights to go off; turn
the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire. ┮
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. Using oth-
er products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty
cover for caused damages as a consequence.
