REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel the car with unleaded petrol
with an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conform-
ing to the European specification EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the above-men-
tioned specification may cause the EOBD warning light to
switch on and the irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: only refuel the car using diesel fuel that
conforms to European specification EN590.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged,
set the gearshift lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch

to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

ous diagnosis of the emission-related components in or-
der to help protect the environment.
