WARNING
2)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term
wear deriving from normal use of the car.
Some precautions are however required.
Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as
metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a small area, could cause it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.
3)Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects on the seat cushion.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
11) 12)
FRONT HEAD
RESTRAINTS
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downwards adjustment: press
button A fig. 10 and lower the head
restraint.
"Anti-Whiplash" device
The head restraints are equipped with
an "Anti-Whiplash" device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash"
effect.
The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant’s
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downwards adjustment: press
button A fig. 11 and lower the head
restraint.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used,
always set the head restraints in the
"completely raised" position.
Removal
Proceed as follows to remove the head
restraints:
raise the head restraints to their
maximum height;
press buttons A and B fig. 11 at the
side of the two supports, then remove
the head restraints by pulling them
upwards.

The methane, stored in the cylinders at
high pressure, flows through a
dedicated pipe to reach the pressure
regulator/reduction unit which supplies
the two methane injectors at low
pressure (about 9 bar).
Cylinder certification
The methane cylinders are certified in
accordance with ECE Regulation no.
110.
The cylinders must be inspected, in
accordance with ECE Regulation
Procedure no. 110, every 4 years from
the car registration date or in
accordance with specific regulations in
individual countries.
The plates provided by the Dealership
with the on board documentation
contain the date for the first inspection
of the cylinders. Methane refuelling
stations are not authorised to refill the
cylinders when the inspection date has
expired.IMPORTANT If the vehicle has been
registered in a country other than Italy,
the certification data, identification
and inspection procedures for
the methane cylinders should conform
to the legislation in that country. In
any case, remember that the life of the
cylinders is 20 years from the
production date as set out in ECE
Regulation no. 110.
SELECTION OF
PETROL/METHANE
SUPPLY TYPE
36)22) 23) 24)
This engine normally runs on methane
except during starting, when it runs
on petrol.
The button A fig. 43 (petrol/methane
switch) allows you to select running on
petrol or methane.To guarantee switching in full safety, the
actual change to the chosen fuel
system takes place depending on the
car usage conditions; it may not
therefore be immediate.
Switching is confirmed by the green
warning light
on the instrument panel
turning on/off.
In addition, when starting at outside
temperatures below approximately
–10°C, the switching times from petrol
to methane increase to allow the
pressure regulator/reduction unit to
heat up.
If the methane has run out, switching to
petrol takes place automatically. In this
case, the four bars of the digital gauge
turns off and the green warning light
on the instrument panel turns on.
REFUELLING
Methane
Capacity: about 12 kg. The total
volume of cylinders is about 72 litres.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT NOTES
IMPORTANT Warning lights are accompanied by a specific message and/or sound when applicable. These indications are
indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained
in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information in this section in
the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted by pressing the
button. The instrument panel warning
light will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the vehicle stationary and the driver's side or passenger side
seat belt (when the passenger is present) not fastened. The warning light will flash and a buzzer will sound
if the car is in motion and the front seat belts are not correctly fastened.
For permanent deactivation of the acoustic signal (buzzer) of the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system
contact a Fiat Dealership. The system can be reactivated using the Setup Menu.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" SYSTEM DEACTIVATED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" system is deactivated
through the Setup Menu.
INJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to MAR the warning light switches on, but it should
switch off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly; in
particular, if the warning light switches on steadily, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition system
that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high
fuel consumption.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the warning light on constantly may
cause damage: contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
NOTE For petrol engines, if the warning light flashes, the catalytic converter may be damaged. In this case,
it is necessary to release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light
stops flashing; continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause
further flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
26)
WARNING
26)Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if thewarning light either does not light up when the key is turned to MAR or if, while
travelling, the warning light switches on or flashes (along with a message and a symbol on the display on some versions). The operation
of the
warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country
where you are driving.
