2010 FIAT QUBO fuel type

INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may
vary according to the version.
SPEEDOMETER (speed indicator)
This shows the speed of the vehicle fig. 8.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter fig. 9 shows the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system
gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine
is over-revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine
power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may
indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the engine
speed.This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate
control system or the fan. In these cases, a gradual
variation in revs is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
Warning light A fig. 10 switches on to indicate that
6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in paragraph "Vehicle
refuelling" in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty to prevent
damaging the catalytic converter.

TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The Trip computer is used to display information on
vehicle operation when the ignition key is turned
to MAR. This function allows you to define two
separate trips, called "Trip A" and "Trip B", for
monitoring the "complete mission" (journey) of the
vehicle in a reciprocally independent manner. Both
functions can be reset (start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the values relating to:
❒Outside temperature (for versions with outside
temperature sensor and methane-powered
vehicles)
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average consumption
❒Current consumption
❒Average speed
❒Travel time (driving time).
"Trip B", available on multifunction display only, is
used to display the values relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Travel time B (driving time).
“Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset .
Values displayed
Range
This indicates the distance which may be travelled
with the fuel in the tank assuming that driving style
does not change. The display will show the reading
“----“ when the following events take place:
❒range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a
long time.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several
factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in the
“Starting and driving” section), type of route
(motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start
of the new journey.

REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
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 defective 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 refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the usage
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container with the fuel. Pour the additive into 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 available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications.The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, depending on the damage caused.
If you accidentally introduce other types of fuel
into the tank, do not start the engine. Empty the
tank. If the engine has run also for a very short
time, you will need to have the entire fuel feed
system emptied in addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the
first click of the trigger. Further top-ups could cause
faults in the fuel feeding system.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral to the exhaust system, that physically traps
carbon particulates present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
It is needed to eliminate almost all particulates in
compliance with current/future legislation. 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 calculate how
much particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should
be regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by
burning the carbon particles. The regeneration
procedure is controlled automatically by the engine
management control unit according to the filter
conditions and vehicle use conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a
limited increase in the engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle
performance or damage the environment. If
the dedicated message is displayed, refer to the
“Warning lights and messages” section.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
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, then follows a driving path simulating the usage of the vehicle in town
❒extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all
gears; the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63%
of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the
vehicle, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, vehicle load, presence of roof racks
and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
consumption figures than those measured.
Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres x 100 km)
