SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS (1/2)
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.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using lubricant or fuel additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
disconnected spark plugs resulting
in the engine misfiring or cutting 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 operat-
ing faults, have the necessary repairs
carried out as soon as possible by an
approved 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 or the starter, and to prevent pre-
mature wearing of the battery, 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 fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
