2.14

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low

fuel level warning light is lit;

– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives

which are not approved.

Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of

fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-

sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-

ting out when driving;

– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-

verter to overheat and thus reduce its

efficiency, or damage it irreparably

and cause heat damage to the vehi-

cle.

If you notice any of the above operating

faults, have the necessary repairs car-

ried out as soon as possible by an ap-

proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-

larly taking your vehicle to an approved

Dealer at the intervals specified in the

Maintenance document.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic con-

verter, do not keep trying to start the

engine (using the start button, or by

pushing or towing the vehicle) without

having identified and corrected the

starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not

keep trying to start the engine, but con-

tact an approved Dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or

run the engine in locations

where combustible sub-

stances or materials such as

grass or leaves can come into con-

tact with the hot exhaust system.

2.15

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS

Diesel engine speed

Diesel engines are fitted with injection

equipment which prevents the engine

speed being exceeded irrespective of

the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution

system” is displayed along with warn-

ing lights

and

, consult an

authorised dealer immediately.
When driving, depending on the fuel

grade used, it is possible that white

smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter

being cleaned automatically, and does

not affect the way the vehicle runs.

Running out of fuel

If the tank has been completely

drained, the system must be reprimed

after the tank is refilled: see information

on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-

starting the engine.

Do not park the vehicle or

run the engine in locations

where combustible sub-

stances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into

contact with the hot exhaust system.

Precautions to be taken in

winter

To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully

charged,

– always keep the diesel tank rela-

tively full to avoid water vapour con-

densing in it and accumulating at the

bottom of the tank.
