this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes
off when battery voltage is low to allow
the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level is
above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require
the assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.

IMPORTANT
18) If the climate comfort is to be
favoured, the Start&Stop system
can be deactivated, for a
continuous operation of the
climate control system.
WARNING
87) The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been
removed or turned to the STOP
position. When refuelling, make
sure that the car is switched off
with the key in the STOP position.
88) If the battery needs to be
replaced, always contact a Fiat
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (L6 105Ah/850A) and should
have the same characteristics.89) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the vehicle is
switched off and the key is in the
STOP position. Follow the
instructions on the label on the
front crossmember. It is advisable
to extract the key when there
are other people in the vehicle.
ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
ADBLUE (UREA)
The vehicle is equipped with a Selective
Catalytic Reduction system to meet
the strict Diesel emissions standards
required by the Agency for
Environmental Protection.
The purpose of the system of Selective
Catalytic Reduction is to reduce the
nitrogen oxides levels emitted by
engines; these elements are harmful to
our health and to the environment
even at minimum levels. A small
amount of additive for Diesel emissions
AdBlue (UREA) is injected upstream
of the catalyst exhaust outlet where,
when it turns into gas, converts
nitrogen oxides, that create smog, in
simple nitrogen and water vapour, two
natural components of air we breathe.
You can use your vehicle with the
peace of mind of knowing that you are
contributing to a cleaner and healthy
environment for future generations.
105

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
IN BRIEF
Refuel the vehicle exclusively with
dieselfor motor vehicles in
compliance with European
specification EN590.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
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 vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
19)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top-ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK CAP
When refuelling, open Door A fig. 141
located on the left side of the vehicle
therefore unscrew the plug B fig. 141
turning it counter-clockwise.
For versions / markets where provided,
insert the ignition key in the lock of
the cap. Turn the key counter-clockwise
and remove the cap by gripping the
key. Do not remove the key from the
cap during refuelling. During the
operation of refuelling, the cap can be
hung to its appropriate place located on
the door A (fig. 141).
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.In case of loss or damage to the fuel
tank cap, make sure that the
replacement cap is for the appropriate
vehicle.
Tighten the cap of the fuel tank filler
until you hear a "click". This sound
shows that the cap of the fuel tank filler
is properly tightened.
For versions / markets where provided,
turn the key clockwise until it stops. It
is not necessary to apply an additional
load on the key to complete the
tightening of the cap. Only in the case
where the cap has been tightened
properly, it will be possible to remove
the ignition key from the cap.
After each refuelling, make sure the fuel
filler cap is securely tightened.141F1A5004

❒In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting
from the use of additives / tap
water, the introduction of diesel
fuel, or at least by not fulfilling the
requirements, the warranty
expires.
AdBlue tank topping
(UREA) in cold
environments
Since AdBlue (UREA) starts to freeze
around the -11 ° C, the vehicle is
equipped with an automatic system of
heating UREA that allows the system to
function properly at temperatures
below -11 ° C.
If the vehicle remains idle for a long
period at temperatures below the -11 °
C, the UREA in the tank might freeze.
If the tank UREA was filled beyond
the maximum level and freezes, it can
be damaged; for this reason it is
advisable not to exceed the maximum
level of the tank.
Pay extra attention to avoid exceeding
the maximum level when you use
portable containers for topping up.Fuel storage - Diesel
Fuel
95)
In case of the storage of massive
amounts of fuel, good maintenance is
essential. The fuel contaminated with
water favours the proliferation of
"microbes". These microbes create a
"slime" that can clog the filter system
and fuel pipes. Remove water from the
supply tank and regularly replace the
filter pipe.
NoteWhen a diesel engine runs out of
fuel, air is blown through the fuel
system.
AdBlue storage (UREA)
AdBlue (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life. If is
stored at temperatures between -12 °
and 32 ° C, it can be stored at least for
a year.
Since UREA can freeze at temperatures
at or below -11 ° C, the system was
designed to operate also in these cold
environments, thanks to an automatic
heating system which operates when
the engine is started.
NoteWhen you need to keep the
AdBlue (UREA), it is important to know
that:❒any container or part that comes in
contact with the UREA must be
compatible with it (plastic or stainless
steel). Materials such as copper,
brass, aluminium, iron or stainless
steel is not as susceptible to
corrosion by UREA are to be
avoided;
❒if UREA is spilled from a container,
completely clean the area.
IMPORTANT
19) Only refuel with automotive
diesel complying with the
European specification EN 590.
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. Empty 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.
112
KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING
92) 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.
93) To avoid fuel spillage and the
exceeding of the maximum level,
avoid topping up after filling the
tank.
94) Any fuel pumping in portable
containers located on a floor
can cause a fire. Danger of burns.
Always put the fuel container on
the ground during filling. Avoid
using contaminated fuel: a fuel
contaminated with water or earth
can cause serious damage to
the motor supply. Proper
maintenance of the fuel filter, of
the engine and the fuel tank is
essential.
95) Do not open the fuel system at
high pressure with the engine
running. The operation of the
engine creates a high fuel
pressure. A jet of high-pressure
fuel can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING
96) If AdBlue overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank
to over 50 ° C (for example due
to direct solar irradiation), AdBlue
can decompose ammonia
vapours. Ammonia vapours have a
pungent odour when the cap of
the AdBlue tank is unscrewed,
therefore be careful not to inhale
any ammonia vapours in the tank
outlet. In this concentration,
however, the ammonia vapors are
not harmful or dangerous to
health.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
97)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles 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
Powertrain Control Module records
a set of data (travel time, type of route,
temperatures reached etc.) and
calculates how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
113

IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style (see
paragraph “Driving style” in the
“Starting and driving” section), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc…), usage
conditions (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.
Average consumption (for versions/
markets, where provided)
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from the start
of the new journey.
Instant consumption (for versions/
markets where provided)
This value shows the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
display will show “----”ifthecar
is parked with the engine running.Average speed
This value shows the car's average
speed based on the overall time
elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
Trip time
Time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information,
the Trip computer displays "----" in
place of the value. When normal
operating conditions are restored, the
counting of the various values is
resumed, without either zeroing the
values displayed prior to the problem,
or starting a new mission.
TRIP control button
The TRIP button is located on the right
stalk fig. 152. With the ignition key
turned to MAR-ON, this button allows
you to view the previously described
values and also zero them to begin
a new journey:
❒brief press to access the various
values displays;
❒long press to reset and then start a
new mission.New mission
This begins after a reset:
❒“manual” resetting by the user, by
pressing the relevant button;
❒“automatic” resetting, when the
distance travelled reaches 3,999.9
km or 9,999.9 km (depending on the
type of display) or when the travel
time reaches 99.59 (99 hours and 59
minutes);
❒after disconnection/reconnection of
the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when
“Trip A” details are being displayed
only resets the information associated
with this function.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

❒lastly, remember that the vehicle’s
dynamic behaviour is affected by
the weight transported: in particular,
the stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
IMPORTANT
36) Each of these must be strictly
observed and MUST NEVER BE
EXCEEDED in any case. In
particular, ensure that you never
exceed the maximum permitted
weights on the front and rear
axles when arranging the load on
the vehicle (particularly if the
vehicle is equipped with a specific
trim level).
WARNING
137) Irregular trajectories and abrupt
braking may cause sudden
movements of the load with
consequent situations of hazard
for the driver and passengers:
before setting off, secure the load
tightly using the appropriate
hooks on the floor and use steel
cables, ropes or chains strong
enough to hold the items to be
secured.
138) If a vehicle is parked on a very
steep gradient or with a side
gradient, opening the rear door or
side door could cause any
unsecured items to emerge
suddenly.
139) If you wish to carry a reserve of
petrol in a can, observe the legal
restrictions and only use a can
that is type-approved and
properly secured to the load
anchorage eyebolts. Anyway, by
doing so, you increase the risk
of fire in the event of an accident
with your vehicle.
SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM),
etc.).
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
luggage compartment. The weight of
the vehicle (especially when driving
in town) and its geometry greatly affect
fuel consumption and stability.
