IDENTIFICATION DATA
IMPORTANT If the vehicle has been
registered in a country other than
Italy, the certification and identifica-
tion data and the control/inspection
procedures for the methane cylin-
ders comply with the legislation in
that country. In any case, it should
be remembered that the life of the
cylinders is 20 years from the pro-
duction date as set out in ECE Reg-
ulation no. 110.
Marking the cylinders
Each methane cylinder is identified in the
factory with a stamp on the nose of the
cylinder.
This stamp contains:
CNG ONLY(type of gas which it is de-
signed for: compressed natural gas only);
DO NOT USE AFTER
-
(cylinder expiry date: month-year);
FABER(name of the cylinder manufac-
turer);
/
/ (cylinder regis-
tration number);
L(nominal cylinder capacity in litres);
KG(weight of the cylinder in kg: spe-
cific for each cylinder);
20.0MPa15°C(operating pressure at
15 °C);
30.0MPa(cylinder test pressure);
Fig. 17F0T0361m
E110R-(ECE homologa-
tion number);
ECE R 110(manufacturing regulations);
CNG-1(type of cylinder);
/(cylinder manufacture in-
spection date: month/year);
USE ONLY FABER-APPROVED PRD
(PRD safety device warning);
(–N)(ENI stamp).
The other plates (handed over with the
vehicle documentation) contain the date
for the first inspection of the cylinders.
SYSTEM INSPECTION
The cylinders shall be inspected, in ac-
cordance with ECE Regulation Procedure
no. 110, every 4 years from the vehicle
registration date or in accordance with
specific regulations in individual countries.

CARGO BOX
The cargo box is located in the luggage
compartment and it includes different
sized compartments to store all kinds of
small items. To gain access to the Cargo
Box follow the illustrations in Fig. 18.
WHEEL REPAIR
The vehicle does not have a spare wheel
but rather a rapid tyre repair kit called Fix
&Go, located in the luggage compartment
on the left rear wheel arch A-Fig. 19(for
Combi/Qubo versions). On Cargo ver-
sions, the Fix&Go repair kit is located be-
hind the driver’s seat.

WEIGHTS
Weights (kg)
Unladen weight (with all fluids,
fuel tank filled to
90% and without optional equipment)
Payload including
the driver (❒):
Payload excluding the driver (❒):
Maximum permitted loads (

Towing loads
– braked trailer:
– non-braked trailer:
Maximum load on the roof
(with roof rack bars):
Maximum load on the ball joint
(braked trailer):
(
❒) In the presence of optional equipment the unladen weight increases and, as a result, the payload decreases in relation to the max-
imum permitted loads.
(
❍) Loads not to be exceeded. The user is responsible for arranging goods in the luggage compartment and/on load carrying plat-
form within the maximum permitted loads.
IMPORTANT A trailer cannot be towed so there are no provisions for fitting a tow hook.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
N.B.The trip computer data concerning
range, average consumption and instan-
taneous consumption are not available for
this version.
The fuel consumption figures, given in the
table below, are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests laid down by
specific European Directives.The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
– urban cycle: begins with cold starting,
followed by driving simulating the use of
the vehicle in town;
– extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates
using the vehicle out of town with fre-
quent acceleration in all gears; the speed
varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
– combined consumption: determined
through a weighting of about 37% of the
urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban
cycle.IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
conditions, weather conditions, driving
style, state of the vehicle in general, trim
level/equipment/
accessories, use of the climate control, ve-
hicle load, presence of a roof rack and oth-
er situations that adversely affect the aero-
dynamics, may lead to consumption figures
that differ from those measured (see
Saving fuel” in the Starting and
driving” chapter in the booklet).
