FIAT FIORINO/QUBO NATURAL POWER
Do not switch between the
two operating modes during
engine start-up.
IMPORTANT
In addition, when starting at outside tem-
peratures of below –10 °C, the switching
times from petrol to methane increase to
allow the pressure regulator/reduction
unit to heat up.
IMPORTANT If switching takes place dur-
ing acceleration or pick-up, there may be
a brief flat spot (drop in power).STARTING THE ENGINE
To carry out the starting manoeuvre cor-
rectly, see the warnings and advice in the
Owner Handbook under the chapter
Starting the engine”.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
In the event of an impact to the car, the
petrol and injection supply is cut off im-
mediately, causing the engine to cut out
and, as a result, the safety solenoid valves
to close.
For further information, see the Fuel cut-
off system” paragraph in the Controls”
chapter in the Owner Handbook.
PROTECTION FUSES
The CNG system components are pro-
tected by specific fuses. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if a fuse needs replacing.
If the methane has run out, the control
unit automatically manages the switch to
running on petrol.
SYSTEM FAILURE SIGNALLING
With the multifunction display, any system
failure is signalled through a dedicated mes-
sage and, at the same time, by the CNG
icon and the four methane levels flashing
(with solid bars). In this case, contact a
Fiat Dealership as quickly as possible.
