REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry
out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun.
Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel
system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 172
The fuel filler cap A is locked; to ac-
cess it, open the fuel tank flap B with
the ignition key and turn it anticlock-
wise while releasing the cap.
During filling, hang the cap to the
hook inside the flap, as illustrated.

The vehicle must only
be filled with diesel fuel
for motor vehicles, in
compliance with European Stan-
dard EN590. The use of other
products or mixtures may ir-
reparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warran-
ty 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 addition to the tank, it is also
necessary to drain out the whole
fuel circuit.
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 usable capac-
ity.
AT THE FILLING
STATION
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel thickens due to the for-
mation of paraffin and could cause the
malfunctioning of the fuel system.
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 suitable for the current
temperature, mix diesel fuel with
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting
first the antifreeze in the tank and then
the diesel fuel.
