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

switching has taken place correctly.
Regardless of the last fuel system used,
at the following engine starting, after the
initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to LPG.
The bars 2 fig. 79 on the display
indicate the level of LPG in the tank.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 switching on/off of the
green warning light
on the
instrument panel.
When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise
the circuit can be heard. For the
switching logic described above, a
delay between the valve ticking and the
switching off of the instrument panel
indication is completely normal.
Moreover, when starting with outside
temperatures below about -10°C, the
switching times from petrol to LPG
increase to allow the pressure
regulator/reduction unit to heat up.
To change fuel type, press the
fig. 78 button on the dashboard with
the car stationary and engine running,
or while driving.
16) 17)
LPG FUEL RESERVE
When the residual quantity of LPG
drops below 1/5 of the tank capacity:
the first bar on the display 1
fig. 80 remains on;
the yellow warning light2onthe
instrument panel turns on;
an acoustic signal is emitted.
This condition will last until the next
LPG refuelling, also in the event of
petrol operation.
If the LPG runs out, the system
automatically switches to petrol and the
1 fig. 77 warning light on the
dashboard turns on.
SYSTEM FAILURE SIGNALLING
In the event of an LPG system failure,
the
symbol will be displayed and all
the level bars will turn off.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible, running on petrol.

REFUELLING
18) 19)
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 42 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming; this figure represents the
maximum permitted capacity. In
addition, after different refuelling
processes, this figure may vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank
not completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
32)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force for
parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes
under this category.
33)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the vehicle checked and possible system
faults excluded.
IMPORTANT
12)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden to
alter the configuration of the system or its
components. The use of other components
or materials could cause malfunctions and
lead to a reduction in safety; therefore, in
the case of problems, contact a Fiat
Dealership. To prevent damage to the gas
system parts when towing or raising the
vehicle, follow the instructions in the
"Towing the vehicle" paragraph of the
Owner Handbook.
13)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20°C and 100°C.
14)When painting in an oven, the LPG tank
must be removed from the car and later
refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although the
LPG system has numerous safety features,
it is advisable to proceed as follows every
time the vehicle is not in use for a long
period or moved in an emergency as a
result of a breakdown or accident: unscrew
the devices fastening the cover of the LPG
tank, then remove it. Close the LPG cock
rotating the ring nut clockwise (see
"Passive safety / active safety"). Refit the
cover and retighten the fastening devices.
15)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise the
circuit can be heard. For the switching logic
described above, a delay between the
valve ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.16)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
17)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without a
visual indication of switching on the
instrument panel. In the event of low LPG
levels in the tank or request for high
performance (e.g. overtaking, car fully
laden, steep hills) the system may
automatically switch to petrol operation to
guarantee the engine power requested; the
green warning light
on the instrument
panel switches on to indicate this. When
the above conditions are no longer present,
the system automatically restores LPG
operation; the green warning light
switches off. To achieve the automatic
switching described above, make sure that
there is always enough fuel in the petrol
tank.
18)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG. Periodically (at least
once every six months) it is advisable to let
the LPG in the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 42 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 1 litres
excess). If the level is above 42 litres
(reserve included) contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.
19)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.

ACTIVE GRILLE
SHUTTER
(where provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
Active Grille Shutter, an automatic
system with mobile flaps applied in front
of the cooling module, whose
automatic opening/closing movement
aims at improving the vehicle
aerodynamic efficiency and thus
reducing consumption while ensuring
optimal engine operating temperature
conditions.
When a greater air flow is required for
cooling (e.g. when driving in urban
traffic), the flaps open, whereas when
temperature is low or the air flow is
enough (for example when driving in
motorways), the grille closes.
In case of failure, the instrument panel
will show the warning light
.
