and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the
middle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on certain versions) to
indicate that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in
this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. FUEL GAUGE fig. 13
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
E vacuum tank;
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
The warning light A coming on indicates that there are
about 10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with tank capacity
90-120 l) or 10 l (for versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank. Do not travel with the fuel tank
almost empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could damage the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning
light A will flash to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to start the additional
heater (Webasto) when fuel is on reserve.

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND
FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch that, in the
event of a crash, comes into operation by cutting off the
fuel supply and turning off the engine as a consequence.
When the inertia switch cuts in, this cuts off the fuel
supply and also activates the hazard warning lights, side
lights and courtesy lights while releasing all the doors
and displaying a message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. An additional safety switch is also
present that is activated in the event of impact to cut off
the electrical supply. In this way, fuel is prevented from
escaping if the pipes are broken as well as the formation
of sparks or electrical discharges following damage to
the vehicle electrical components.
IMPORTANT After an accident, remember to remove
the key from the ignition device to avoid draining the
battery.
If no fuel leaks or damage to vehicle electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) are detected after the impact and the
vehicle is able to set off again, reactivate the automatic fuel
cut off and electrical supply switches (
for versions/markets
where provided)
following the procedure described below.
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or see
leaks from the fuel system, do not reset
the switches to avoid the risk of fire.
WARNING
Reactivating the fuel cut-off switch fig. 85
Press the button A to reactivate the fuel cut off switch.

The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in
pressure in the tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the device inside
the flap as shown in fig. 136.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the first
click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top-ups could
cause faults in the fuel feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 136
When refuelling, open the flap A then undo the cap B
turning the ignition key anticlockwise; the cap has
a device C to prevent it being lost.Only use diesel fuel that conforms to
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due to
the damage caused. If you accidentally introduce
other types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine and empty the tank. If the engine has run,
even for a very short time, you will need to have
the entire fuel system emptied in addition to
the tank.
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank opening:
fire risk. Keep your face away from the fuel
filler to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.
WARNING

90-120 l) or 10 l (for versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to indicate
a system failure. If this is the case, contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.

POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 227-228
Check that the liquid contained in the tank is at the
maximum level. This operation must be carried out with
the vehicle level and with the engine off and cold. Check
that the fluid level is up to the MAX mark on the
dipstick attached to the fuel cap (use the level shown on
the 20°C side of the dipstick to check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is lower than the
specified level, top up using only one of the products
indicated in the “Fluid and lubricants” table in the
“Technical specifications” section, proceeding as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the level of fluid in the
tank to stabilise.
❒With the engine running, turn the steering wheel
from right to left fully, several times.

Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the
system checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure
there are no leaks.
Do not press the power steering end of
travel lock for longer than 8 consecutive
seconds with the engine running because
it will cause noise and risk damaging the system.
❒Top up the fuel to the MAX level and then retighten
the cap.
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: the liquid is flammable.
