2015 FIAT BRAVO fuel type

TRIP COMPUTERGeneral information
The Trip computer is used to display information on
car operation when the key is turned to MAR-ON.
Two separate trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip B”,
are provided to monitor the entire mission (journey)
in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Range
❒ Distance covered
❒ Average consumption
❒ Instantaneous consumption
❒ Average speed
❒ Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒ Distance travelled B
❒ Average consumption B
❒ Average speed B
❒ Trip time B (driving time).
Note The “Trip B” function may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). The “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be reset. Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can be
travelled with the amount of fuel present in the
tank. “- - - -” will appear on the display in the
following cases:
❒
range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒ car parked with engine running for an extended
period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type of route
(motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.), conditions
of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning
must therefore take the above into account.
Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the start of the
new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption
since the start of the new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----”if
the car is parked with the engine running.

IMPORTANT When the SPORT button is pressed,
the function is activated about 5 seconds later.
IMPORTANT During acceleration, when the SPORT
function is used the steering may shudder which is
typical of a sports setting.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres requiring a
lot of steering, the steering may become harder;
this is normal and is due to the intervention of the
system to protect the electric steering motor from
overheating; so, no intervention is required. When
the car is used again later on, the power steering will
work normally.Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on fuel
consumption and emissions: accelerate gradually to
contain consumption.
When the SPORT function is used the consumption
figures will be slightly higher than those stated.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) be carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety.This also causes the
warranty to become null and void and results in
vehicle non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.WARNING
Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition switch to operate the steering
lock, particularly when the wheels do not touch
the ground. If this is not possible (for example
if the key needs to be turned to MAR-ON or
the engine must be running), remove the main
fuse that protects the electric power steering.

❒The performance of the parking assistance system
may also be affected by the position of the
sensors. For example, if the geometry is altered
(as a result of wear of the shock absorbers,
suspension), the tyres are changed, the vehicle is
too heavily laden or specific tuning is carried
out that lowers the vehicle.
❒ The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact with
the car in the bottom part.
AT THE FILLING STATIONMOTORI DIESEL - Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, 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 current
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container. Pour the additive into the tank before the
diesel fuel.
When using or parking the car 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, only use diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN 590
European specifications.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 refuel with another type of fuel, do
not start the engine, and drain the tank. If the
engine has been run for even an extremely
limited amount of time, you must not only drain
the fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.
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 FILLER CAP
Opening fig. 97
Open flap A pulling it outwards, hold cap B still,
insert the ignition key in the lock and turn it
anticlockwise.
Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it. The cap
has a device C that attaches it to the flap so it
cannot be lost. When refilling, attach the cap to the
flap, as shown. Closing
Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise
until it clicks once or more.
Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the
flap.
IMPORTANT The airtight sealing of the tank may
cause a slight vacuum. A suction noise when you
release the cap is therefore entirely normal.
WARNING
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 prevent breathing in harmful vapours.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter
❒ exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
❒ particulate filter (DPF).
WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, the
silencer becomes very hot .Therefore
do not park the car on flammable materials
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc .): fire
hazard.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel
engines. The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all particulates in
compliance with current / future legal regulations.
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. There may be
a limited increase in the engine speed during the
regeneration, 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.
Particulate filter clogged
If the warning light switches on on the instrument
panel (along with the message on the display) refer
to the "Warning lights and messages" chapter.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the engine compartment : inflammable gases
and vapours may be present , constituting a firerisk.
WARNING
Be very careful when working in theengine compartment when the engine is
hot : you may get burned. Remember that thefan may start up if the engine is hot : this couldinjure you. Make sure that scarves, ties andother loose fitting garments do not get caughtup in moving parts.
When topping up, take care not to mix upthe various types of fluids: they are notcompatible with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
