REFUELLING THE CARPETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fu-
el tank opening is too small to insert the
nozzle of a leaded petrol pump. The petrol
octane rating (RON) must not be lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic con-
verter leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalytic con-
verter beyond repair.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots and could clog the diesel fu-
el filter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose speci-
fications are not suitable for the usage
temperature, it is advisable to mix in the
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the pro-
portions shown on the container. Pour
the additive into the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for
a long time in the mountains or cold ar-
eas, 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, even for a very short time, you
will need to have the entire fuel system
emptied in addition to the tank.

FUEL TANK CAP fig. 111
To carry out refuelling, open lid Aand un-
screw cap B; the cap is fitted with a de-
vice Cwhich fastens it to the lid so it can-
not be mislaid.
In some versions, cap Bmay be provided
with a lock and key; use the ignition key
to access the flap A, turn it anti-clockwise
and unscrew the cap itself.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-
crease in pressure in the tank. A suction
noise when you release the cap is there-
fore entirely normal.
When refuelling, hook the cap onto the
device inside the lid as shown in fig. 111.fig. 111
F0M0138m
Do not place naked flames
or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep your
face away from the fuel tank open-
ing to avoid breathing in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
Filling the tank
To fill the tank completely, top up twice
after the first click of the trigger. Further
top ups could cause faults in the fuel sup-
ply system.
PROTECTING
THE ENVIRONMENTThe devices for reducing petrol engine
emissions are the following:❒
three-way catalytic converter;
❒
Lambda sensors;
❒
fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The following devices are used for reduc-
ing diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒
oxidising catalytic converter;
❒
exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒
diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).

Glow plug heating
The warning light comes on when the key
is turned to MAR. It goes out as soon as
the glow plugs have reached the preset
temperature. Start the engine as soon as
the warning light goes out.
IMPORTANT In hot outside tempera-
tures, the warning light may stay on for
only a very short time.
Glow plug heating failure
The warning light flashes if there is a fault
in the preheating system. Go to a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.

WATER IN DIESEL
FILTER
(Multijet versions
- amber)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when there is
water in the diesel filter.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
c
The presence of water in the
fuel circuit may cause severe
damage to the injection sys-
tem and irregular engine op-
eration. If warning light
c
comes on
(with a message on the display on some
versions), 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 refu-
elling: if this happens, switch the engine
off immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

DEMANDING USE
OF THE CARShould the car be used predominantly in
one of the following particularly demand-
ing conditions:❒
trailer or caravan towing;
❒
dusty roads;
❒
short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated
journeys in sub-zero temperatures;
❒
frequently idling engine or long-dis-
tance, low-speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or lengthy inactivity;
you should perform the following inspec-
tions more frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒
check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒
check cleanliness of bonnet and boot
locks, and cleanliness and lubrication of
linkages;
❒
visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒
check battery charge and liquid level
(electrolyte);
❒
visually inspect the condition of the ac-
cessory drive belts;
❒
check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒
check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions.
❒
operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒
operation of the windscreen wiper/
washer system, position and wear of
the windscreen and rear window wiper
blades;
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if re-
