TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on vehicle operation when the
key is turned to MAR. This function al-
lows to define two separate trips called
“Trip A” and “Trip B” for monitoring the
“complete mission” of the vehicle (trip) in
a reciprocally independent manner. Both
functions are resettable (reset - start of
new mission).
“Trip A” is used to display data relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
“Trip B” is supplied on versions having a
multifunctional display and is used to dis-
play data relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” functions may be disabled
(see paragraph “Trip B on”). “Range” and
“Instant consumption” cannot be reset.Values displayed
Range
Indicates the travel distance left before the
vehicle runs out of the fuel in the tank.
The message “----” will appear on the dis-
play in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle left parked with engine running
for long.
IMPORTANT Changes of the range value
can be affected by many factors: driving
style (see paragraph “Driving style” in sec-
tion “Starting and driving”), type of route
(motorway, urban cycle, mountain roads,
etc…), conditions of use of the vehicle
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes. Exit Menu
This is the last function that closes the set-
ting cycle listed in the initial menu screen.
Briefly press button MENU ESCto go
back to the standard screen without stor-
ing settings.
Press button –to return to the first menu

While refuelling, if the flap is
open, the right-hand side
sliding door cannot be opened.
WARNING
When the vehicle is parked
on a slope, do not block the
sliding door open: any accidental
shock may release the door, thus
leaving it free to move forward.
WARNING
Before leaving the vehicle
parked with sliding doors
open, always check that the latch is
engaged.
WARNING
SIDE SLIDING DOORS
(where provided)
In Cargo versions the side sliding door is
supplied with a spring loaded latch that
stops the door at the end of its stroke
during opening. Block the door by simply
pushing it to the end of its stroke; release
it by pulling forwards with energy.
In any case, make sure that the door is
properly hooked to the system which
keeps the door fully open.
Before opening a door, en-
sure that you can do it in
safe conditions.
WARNING
Before refuelling, make sure
that the right-hand sliding
door is locked. If it is not, the

VEHICLE REFUELLING
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only with octane
number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots with consequent anomalous
operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different
types of diesel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type and
arctic type (cold, mountain areas). If refu-
elling with diesel fuel whose features are not
suitable to the temperature of use, it is ad-
visable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART addi-
tive in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive in-
to the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold areas,
it is advisable to refuel using locally avail-
able fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the
tank over 50% full.For diesel engines, use diesel
fuel for motor vehicles com-
pliant with EN590 European
specifications only. The use of
other products or mixtures may dam-
age the engine beyond repair and con-
sequently cause lapse of warranty in
relation to the damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types of
fuel in the tank, do not start the engine
and empty the tank. If the engine has
run also for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel feed sys-
tem emptied in addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the pump switches off. Further top-
ups could cause faults in the fuel feeding
system.

FUEL TANK PLUG fig. 98
To refuel open the flap Aand unscrew the
plug B. The plug is provided with a loss
prevention device Cwhich secures it to
the flap, thus making it impossible to lose.
The plug Bis provided with a lock and key.
To access it open the flap A, turn the igni-
tion key anticlockwise and loosen the plug.
When refuelling, fasten the plug to the de-
vice inside the lid as shown in the figure.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where
provided).

Do not place free flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel
filler: this may pose a risk of
fire. Keep your face away
from the fuel filler to prevent breath-
ing in harmful vapours.
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER DPF
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter integral with the exhaust system
that physically traps carbon particles pre-
sent in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate particulates almost
totally in compliance with current / future
law regulations. During normal use of the
vehicle, the engine control unit records a
set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late the amount of particles trapped by the
filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles. The
regeneration procedure is controlled au-
tomatically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the vehicle.
During the regeneration procedure, the
following situations may occur: limited in-
crease of idle speed, activation of electric
fan, limited increase of smoke, high tem-
peratures at the exhaust. These events
must not be considered as a malfunction-
ing: they do not impair vehicle behaviour
and the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, refer to section
“Warning lights and messages”.

ENGINE START-UP
PROCEDURE FOR
DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: warning
lights Yand
mwill light up on the
instrument panel;
❒wait until the warning lights Yand
mturn off. The hotter the engine, the
quicker this will happen;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way down
without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVas soon
as the warning light
mturns off. Wait-
ing too long will waste the work done
by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT When the engine is cold,
rotate the ignition key to AVVto com-
pletely release the accelerator pedal.If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If with the ignition key on MAR, the in-
strument panel warning light Yremains
on, turn the key to STOPand then back
to MAR; if the warning light remains on,
try with the other keys provided with the
vehicle.
Contact the Fiat Dealership if the engine
still will not start.
The warning light
mblinks
for 60 seconds after starting
or during prolonged cranking
to indicate a fault to the glow
plug heating system. Use the vehicle
normally if the engine starts, but con-
tact the Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
WARMING THE
ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER
START-UP
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium speed. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒do not demand maximum performance
for the first few kilometres. Wait until
the engine coolant gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY START
If the warning light Ystays on steadily on
the instrument panel, you can perform an
emergency start using the code on the
CODE card (see section “In an emer-
gency”).
Never jump start the engine
by pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause a
flow of fuel into the catalyt-
ic converter and damage it beyond re-
pair.
