Special features of petrol engine versions

Operating conditions of the vehicle, such as:

• driving for a long time with the low fuel warning light on;
• using leaded petrol;
• using oil or fuel additives that are not approved.

Or faults such as:

• a faulty ignition system, an empty fuel tank, or a disconnected spark plug, which shows up as difficulty starting the engine and jerking while driving;
• loss of power, which can cause the catalytic converter to overheat, reduce its effectiveness or damage it, and also cause thermal faults in other vehicle components.

If you notice any of the above malfunctions, go to an Authorised Partner to have the necessary repairs carried out without delay.

Regular scheduled servicing at the brand's Authorised Partner network, in accordance with the recommendations in the service book, will help avoid the problems listed above.

Engine starting problems

To prevent damage to the catalytic converter, avoid trying to start the engine "at all costs" (by cranking the starter too often or towing or pushing the vehicle) unless the cause of the fault has first been identified and repaired.

If this is not possible, do not attempt to start the engine; contact an Authorised Partner of the brand.
