dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This air
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen
and front side vents. This
distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be
warmed up efficiently and
prevents the windows from

When the Start&Stop system is on
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of the windows misting up
(as the compressor is off).
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf. In case of a recharge
operation, only use the gas indicated on
the label placed in the engine
compartment. The use of other coolants
affects the efficiency and condition of the
system. The lubricant used for the
compressor is also strictly linked to the type
of cooling gas, please refer to a Fiat
Dealership.

LPG MULTIPOINT
INJECTION SYSTEM
This product is produced by working
closely with qualified suppliers in the
LPG sector.
The injection system used on the car is
an efficient system in terms of engine
performance and is based on the
injection of LPG in a gaseous state.
In this system with four injectors, one
for each intake manifold, the fuel is
injected directly into the engine heat
transfer ducts, thereby metering the
LPG very precisely improving
combustion and, at the same time,
excluding any possibility of flame return.
By adapting the electronic control
technology of petrol engines to meet
LPG specifications, significant results in
terms of driveability and controlling
exhaust emissions have been obtained.
When running on LPG the engine has
almost the same torque and power
features as when running on petrol:
consequently, the car performance can
be compared.
SELECTION OF THE FUEL
SUPPLY TYPE
The car is configured for running
independently on either petrol or LPG.
The engine always starts up on petrol,
with automatic switching to LPG whenthe best conditions are achieved
(engine water temperature, minimum
engine rpm limit) for switching to LPG.
In addition, it is advisable to periodically
use up the petrol in the tank (until the
reserve warning light comes on) in order
to ensure that the petrol does not
become old and possibly deteriorate.
The petrol/LPG switch fig. 69 allows
drivers to select petrol or LPG
operation.
IMPORTANT There must therefore
always be some petrol in the tank to
protect the petrol pump and to
guarantee temporary switching from
LPG to petrol operation, if high
performance is required.PASSIVE SAFETY/ACTIVE
SAFETY
Passive safety
The car has the same passive safety
specifications as other versions. In
particular, the mountings of the tank
(located in the space-saver wheel
housing) have been designed to comply
with the Fiat safety standards for impact
tests.
When running on LPG, the flow of gas
(in a liquid state) leaving the tank
passes through the specific piping to
the pressure regulator unit, where there
is a safety solenoid valve that stops the
flow of LPG when the ignition key is
removed or when the driver selects a
fuel change (decision to run on petrol).
Together with the regulator solenoid
valve, a second solenoid valve, in the
tank, closes the LPG piping at the tank
outlet.
The two solenoid valves are connected
to the fuel cut-off system (Fire
Protection System).
The LPG tank complies with the current
legal regulations of the countries where
the car is sold.
Active safety
The car has the same active safety
specifications as other versions.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

LPG TANK
The car has a pressurised tank for
storing LPG in a liquid state. It is
toroidal and is located in the spare
wheel compartment with suitable
protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If
the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration
and the testing/inspection procedures
of the LPG tank can vary depending on
the national provisions in force in that
country. In all case, when the time limit
for your country has expired, go to a
Fiat Dealer to have the tank replaced.
SOLENOID VALVES AND
SAFETY DEVICES
The system has a solenoid valve
located on the pressure reduction unit
and a solenoid valve fitted inside the
multivalve stack on the tank.
The main function of these solenoid
valves is to interrupt/allow the flow of
LPG to the supply circuit.
The solenoid valves are open when:
a request to run on LPG has been
made;
the optimum engine running
conditions are satisfied (engine coolant
temperature, minimum revs level) for
running on LPG;
there is enough LPG in the tank for
operation.
The multivalve stack fitted on the tank
includes:
a valve that automatically stops the
supply of LPG when the maximum
permitted filling level is reached (80% of
the total tank capacity);
a flow limiter which, if a piping is
broken, prevents the complete and
sudden escape of LPG;
a check valve preventing LPG
back-flow to the filler;
a safety solenoid valve on the LPG
supply line for enabling or preventing
the flow of gas towards the pressure
reducer;
a manual valve, positioned upstream
of the solenoid valve for bypassing the
LPG system for servicing operations;
a melting pad which, in the case of
overheating (temperature above
120°C), totally eliminates the danger of
excess pressure, releasing the LPG in
the tank to the outside as quickly as
possible in a controlled manner;
an analogue level gauge for LPG in
the tank.
PIPES
The piping for the LPG in a liquid state
(from the filler to the tank and from the
tank to the pressure regulator) is made
from copper coated in plastic.
The supply piping for the LPG in a
gaseous state (from the pressure
regulator to the LPG injectors) are made
from rubber.
REGULATION UNIT
The regulation unit (see the figure)
includes:
cut-out solenoid valve with gauze
filter;
pressure regulator.
The cut-out solenoid valveopens or
closes together with the solenoid valve
on the tank. It closes all LPG flow when
the engine is not running on gas. It also
acts as a safety device that prevents
73PLG00006
45

the LPG flow if the fuel locking inertia
switch is activated.
the pressure regulatorallows the
LPG to pass from a liquid state to a
gaseous state through an expansion
chamber and maintains the pressure
required for the operation of the system
at a preset value.
LPG FILTER
The filter, located on the pressure
regulator outlet pipe fig. 74 filters the
gaseous LPG during the LPG injector
supply stage.
LPG INJECTORS
There are four injectors specifically for
LPG on a dedicated bracket on the
cylinder head and connected, via
specific pipes, to the individual intake
ducts fig. 75.
They are supplied with LPG in agaseous state at a constant pressure
and are controlled by a specific
electronic control unit.
A gas pressure and temperature sensor
that sends an appropriate electrical
signal in order to determine the LPG
injection time is fitted on the injectors.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL
UNIT
The car has a special electronic control
unit fig. 76, in the engine compartment,
controlling the LPG supply, using the
sensors located on the car.
The control unit for the injectors has the
same strategy as the petrol control unit
(timed sequential Multipoint).
LPG/PETROL SWITCH
This engine normally runs on LPG
except during starting when it runs on
petrol. Switching to LPG is automatic,
the warning light
1 fig. 77 on the
instrument panel, switches off.
If you specifically want to use petrol,
press the button on the dashboard
fig. 78. If the LED located above the
button turns on, it indicates that
