2010 FIAT QUBO refuelling

READ THIS CAREFULLY!
REFUELLING
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor
vehicles conforming to the European specification
EN 590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, depending
on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Diesel engines: Turn the ignition key to MAR
and wait for the warning lightto go out.
Turn the ignition key to AVV and release as soon
as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material as this constitutes a fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the
environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement
and check that the electrical system of the
vehicle can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring the
vehicle stays in tip-top condition and retains its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER'S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for
correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your vehicle over time. Particular attention
should be paid to information marked with the
following symbols:
(personal safety),(environmental protection),(car integrity).

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.

switch on the ceiling lights temporarily anddouble-flash the direction indicators. Turn the key
anticlockwise in the driver's door to unlock all
the doors.
SLIDING SIDE DOORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
WARNING
Before opening a door, ensure that you
can
do it in safety conditions.
Make sure that the right sliding side door
is all closed before refuelling to prevent
damage to the door and to the open fuel
filler cap activated during refuelling operations.
WARNING
The right sliding side door cannot be
o
pened with the fuel flap open during
refuelling.

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.

A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
The presence of water in the fuel supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If warning light
lights 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 entered the tank if
this appears immediately after refuelling: if this
happens, switch the engine off immediately and
