FIAT IDEA LPG
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
In the event of an impact to the vehicle,
the petrol supply is cut off immediately,
causing the engine to cut out and, as a re-
sult, the LPG safety solenoid valves to
close.
For further information, please see the
‘Fuel cut off system’ paragraph in the
‘Dashboard and Controls’ chapter in the
Owner’s Handbook.
STARTING THE
ENGINE
The engine is always started on petrol,
even with the switch in the LPG position
(green LED flashing, yellow LED on con-
stantly) and switches automatically soon
after.
There must always be some petrol in the
tank to protect the petrol pump.
To carry out the starting manoeuvre cor-
rectly, see the warnings and advice in the
Owner Handbook under the chapter
“Starting the engine” enclosed with this
Supplement.
In this situation, you can con-
tinue driving, with the car run-
ning on petrol (excluding the
LPG fuel system). To stop the
buzzer, press button A: the green ON
LED will go out and the yellow OFF
LED will remain on constantly. Go to a
Fiat Dealer as soon as possible to have
the system checked.
System failure signalling
The car has a self-diagnostic system ca-
pable of signalling any malfunctions in the
LPG fuel system through the green ON
LED Fig. 7flashing. In the event of faults
that could affect correct engine operation,
the LPG control unit will automatically
switch from LPG operation to running on
petrol.
This situation will be shown by:
– the yellow OFFLED on constantly;
– the green ONLED flashing;
– an acoustic warning sounded by the
switch buzzer (slow frequency).
