WARNING If the filler compartment is
washed with a high-pressure jet, keep it
at a distance of at least 20 cm.
WARNING
152) Do not apply any object/cap to the end
of the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/plugs
180
could cause a pressure increase inside the
tank, resulting in dangerous situations.
153) Do not approach naked flames or lit
cigarettes to the fuel tank filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
154) Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
155) If the AdBlue overheats for a prolonged
period inside the tank to over 50 °C (for
example, due to direct solar irradiation),
the AdBlue may decompose and produce
08066V0010EM ammonia vapours. Ammonia vapours have
a pungent odour when the cap of the AdBlue
tank is unscrewed, therefore be careful
not to inhale any ammonia vapours in the
tank outlet. In this concentration, however,
the ammonia vapours are not harmful or
dangerous to health.

DRIVING TIPS

SAVING FUEL
Below are some suggestions which may
help you save fuel and thus lower the
amount of harmful emissions released
into the atmosphere.
Car maintenance
Checks and operations should be carried
out in accordance with the "Service
Schedule" (see the "Maintenance and
care" chapter).
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
