SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
3
Diesel engine speed
When driving, to avoid damaging the
engine, never let the engine speed
exceed 4,500 rpm, regardless of
which gear is engaged.
If the "Check Anti- Pollution System"
message is displayed along with the
and warning lights,
consult an approved dealer immedi-
ately.
When driving, depending on the
grade of fuel used, it is possible that
white smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle fil-
ter being cleaned automatically,
and does not affect the way the ve-
hicle runs.
Running out of fuel
After the tank has been filled follow-
ing a complete draining of fuel, the
fuel system 🡺157 must be reprimed
before starting the engine.
Engine smoke opacity label
You can find the information 1 on the
label A affixed in the engine com-
partment or, depending on the vehi-
cle, on the vehicle identification
plate 🡺375.

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.
Do not park the vehicle
or run the engine in lo-
cations where com-
bustible substances or
materials such as grass or
leaves can come into contact
with the hot exhaust system.
Particle filter
The particle filter is used in the treat-
ment of exhaust gases from diesel
engines.
Depending on the vehicle, the warn-
ing light displayed on the in-
strument panel indicates that the fil-
ter is becoming clogged and re-
quires cleaning.
To do this, when the warning
light is displayed, continue driving
according to traffic conditions and
observe the speed limit until the
warning lights disappears. If possi-
ble, do not let the engine speed drop
below 2,000 rpm.
The warning light should go out after
approximately 10 to 20 minutes
🡺124.
