2009 FIAT QUBO refuelling

MUST BE READ!


K
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the
European specification EN 228.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other prod-
ucts or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of warranty in relation to the
damage caused.
ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVVand release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: Turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the warning light
mto go out. Turn the ignition key
to AVVand release as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles
or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to
ensure better respect for the environment.

FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The warning light A-fig. 11turns on to
indicate that approximately 6 to 7 litres of
fuel are left in the tank.
E- tank empty.
F- tank full (see the instructions provid-
ed in paragraph “Vehicle refuelling” in
this section).
Do not travel when the fuel tank is almost
empty, because this may jeopardize the
catalyst.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and warning light Awill blink to indicate a
fault in the system. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the system checked.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and starts working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working conditions
of the vehicle.
C- Low engine coolant temperature.
H- High engine coolant temperature.Turning on of the warning light B-fig. 11
(along with a message on the display) in-
dicates that the coolant fluid temperature
is too high. In this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the needle indicating the
engine coolant temperature
reaches the red area, stop the
engine immediately and con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.

tors start flashing quickly for approx. 3 sec-
onds. When the metal insert is turned
clockwise in the driver’s door lock all the

Press the button Æbriefly to unlock all
the doors, switch on the ceiling lights in
a timed manner and flash the direction in-
dicators. All the doors are unlocked by
turning the metal insert in the door lock
on the driver’s side anticlockwise.

open, the right-hand side
sliding door cannot be opened.
WARNING
SIDE SLIDING DOORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
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
door and the sliding block sys-
tem may be damaged when the fuel
flap is opened during refuelling oper-
ations.

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.
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES INSTALLATION
Electrical and electronic devices installed
after buying the vehicle by after-market
service must carry the following label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation
of transceiving devices provided that they
are installed by a specialised centre ac-
cording to rules of good engineering prac-
tice in compliance with the manufacturer’s
indications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow
the vehicle on the road if devices are in-
stalled which imply modifications of the
vehicle features. This may also cause the
warranty to become null and void in re-
lation to faults caused by the change or re-
lated to the change either directly or in-
directly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for dam-
age caused by the installation of acces-
sories either not supplied or recom-
mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not in-
stalled in compliance with the provided in-
structions.RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (vehicle mo-
bile phones, CB radios, amateur radio and
similar equipment) shall not be used inside
the vehicle unless a separate aerial is
mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause mal-
functioning of the electrical systems in-
stalled on the vehicle. This could com-
promise safety in addition to constituting
a potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As concerns officially EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly com-
ply with the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the mobile phone.

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.

Opening
1) Open the flap A - fig. 97pulling it out-
wards, keep the cap Bstill, insert the ig-
nition key in the lock and turn it anti-
clockwise.
2) Turn the cap anti-clockwise and extract
it. The cap has a device Cretaining it to
the flap so it cannot be lost. When refill-
ing, attach the cap to the flap, as illustrat-
ed.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn
it clockwise until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.

system and irregular engine
operation. If warning light clights up
(on some versions with the message on
the display), go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible to have the system
bled. Water may have been introduced

after refuelling: in this case, stop the en-
gine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
