JTD VERSIONS
Refuel with diesel fuel for
motor vehicles complying
with European Specifica-
tions EN590 only. The use of other
products or mixtures can damage
the engine beyond repair and con-
sequent forfeit the warranty for the
damage caused. If you accidentally
use other types of fuel, do not start
the engine and empty the tank. If,
on the other hand, the engine has
run, even for a very short time, you
will need to drain the fuel lines as
well as emptying the tank.
Diesel fuel fluidity decreases at low
temperatures due to the paraffin it
contains and can clog up the fuel fil-
ter.
To avoid possible problems, fuelling
stations usually sell summer or win-
ter fuel according to the period of the
year.
In spring or autumn, however, when
the maximum and minimum tem-
perature range is wide (from 0 to
+ 15°C), the quality of diesel fuel sold
at fuelling stations may not be ade-
quate.
In this case, especially for frequent
engine stopping and starting at low
temperatures (e.g. in the mountains),
refuel with winter type diesel fuel. Al-
ternatively add a specific diesel fuel
additive to the fuel, in the proportions
written on the container. Pour the ad-
ditive into the fuel tank before the
fuel.
The additive is effective only if it is
added before the cold begins to take
effect on the fuel. Adding the product
after will not have any effect.
ENGINE OIL
Checking the level: see the "Car
maintenance" chapter.
The gap between the MIN and MAX
reference lines on the dipstick corre-
sponds to approximately one litre of
oil.
Use SAE 10W-40 or SAE 5W-30 oil
for petrol engines.
Use SAE 10W-40 or SAE 5W-40 oil
for diesel engines.
For other information, see the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
ENGINE COOLANT
Top up with a 50– 50 mixture of
distilled water and PARAFLU UP.
For other information, see the "Tech-
nical specifications" chapter.
