MAIN COMPONENTS
FUEL
The fuel used for internal
combustion engines is
extremely inflammable and in
particular conditions it can become
explosive. It is important to carry out
the refuelling and the maintenance
operations in a well-ventilated area,
with the engine off. Do not smoke while
refuelling or near fuel vapours, in any
case avoid any contact with naked
flames, sparks and any other heat
source to prevent the fuel from catching
fire or from exploding. Further, prevent
fuel from flowing out of the fuel filler, as
it could catch fire when getting in
contact with the red-hot surfaces of the
engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area has
completely dried and before starting the
vehicle verify that there is no fuel inside
the fuel filler neck.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of sun
radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the plug up carefully after
refuelling. Avoid any contact of the fuel
with the skin and the inhalation of
vapours; do not swallow fuel or pour it
from a receptacle into another by
means of a tube.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE
ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only unleaded petrol, in conformity
with the DIN 51607 standard, min. O.N. 95
(N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.).

TRANSMISSION OIL
Check the transmission oil level every
4000 km (2500 mi), see page 48
(CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION OIL
LEVEL AND TOPPING UP).
Change the transmission oil after the first
1000 km (625 mi) and successively every
12000 km (7500 mi), see page 49
(CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION OIL).
Use high-quality 75W-90 oil, see
page 78 (LUBRICANT CHART).
Engine oil can cause serious
damage to the skin if handled
every day and for long periods.
Wash your hands carefully after using
the oil.
Do not dispose of the oil in the
environment.
Put it in a sealed container and take it to
the filling station where you usually buy
it or to an oil salvage center.
In case any maintenance operation has
to be carried out, it is advisable to use
latex gloves.
