SELECTING THE
TYPE OF FUEL SUPPLY
The car is configured for running inde-
pendently on either petrol or LPG.
The engine is always started on petrol
with an automatic shift to LPG after about
40 seconds at the first significant acceler-
ation.
This is the time required to reach opti-
mum conditions (engine coolant temper-
ature, minimum revs level) for the switch
to LPG. As far as what has been said
is concerned, there must always be
some petrol in the tank (at least 1/4
full) in order not to compromise the op-
eration of the fuel pump.
fig. 1
In addition, it is advisable to periodically
use up the petrol in the tank (until the re-
serve warning light comes on) in order to
ensure that the petrol does not become
old and possibly deteriorate.
The petrol/LPG switch fig. 1, located on
the centre tunnel (next to the gear lever)
allows the driver to select petrol or LPG
operation at their discretion.
When running on LPG, when
the last red LED on gas quan-
tity indicator (visible on the
switch) comes on, refuelling is
advisable. If the LPG runs out during
LPG operation, the system automati-
cally switches to running on petrol
shown by: the amber LED coming on
constantly and the green LED flashing,
the fuel level LEDs going out and a
F0Q0804m
buzzer in the switch.
