2017 FIAT TIPO 5DOORS STATION WAGON spare wheel

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

take out the toolbox 3 and bring it
next to the wheel to be replaced;
take the spare wheel or the
space-saver wheel 2 (for TIPO 5DOOR
version);
for versions with steel rim: remove
the hub cap 1 fig. 173 using the
specific tool 2 fig. 174, located in the
tool container: grip the tool with two
fingers, insert the tongue between tyre
and hub cap and pull towards yourself
perpendicular to the wheel;
take the chock 1 fig. 175 and fold it
out as shown in the diagram;
place the chock 1 on the wheel
diagonally opposite the one to be
replaced (see fig. 176 ) to prevent the
vehicle from moving irregularly when it
is lifted from the ground;
loosen the bolt of the wheel to be
replaced by about one turn with the
wrench provided 1 fig. 177; rock the car
to make it easier to separate the rim
from the wheel hub;

operate the device 1 fig. 178 to
extend the jack until the top of the jack
2 fits correctly into the side member
3 of the vehicle, next to the
symbol
on the side member;
alert any bystander that the car is
about to be raised; all persons should
be kept away from the car and nobody
must touch it until it has been lowered;
operate the jack handle 1fig. 178 (clockwise) to operate the jack
and raise the car until the wheel is
raised a few centimetres above the
ground.
loosen the stud bolts completely and
remove the punctured wheel;
make sure the contact surfaces
between spare or space-saver wheel
(for TIPO 5DOOR version) and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
fit the spare or space-saver wheel
(for TIPO 5DOOR version) by inserting
the first bolt for two threads into the
hole closest to the inflation valve and
proceed in the same manner with the
other bolts;
tighten the retaining bolts well using
wrench 1 fig. 177;
turn the jack handle 1
fig. 178 (anticlockwise) to lower the car
and remove the jack;
use the wrench provided to fasten
the bolts completely in a criss-cross
fashion as shown in fig. 180;
for versions with steel rim, fit the hub
cap on the spare wheel: make the
groove 1 fig. 181 provided on the hub
cap and highlighted by symbol
2 coincide with the inflation valve;

IN AN EMERGENCY

place the inner part of the hub cap
on the wheel rim;
engage the hub cap by applying an
axial force in several points as shown in
fig. 182 to allow the correct coupling
between hub cap and wheel.
NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted to
the space-saver wheel (for TIPO
5DOOR version).
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.WARNING
138)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
139)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
140)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed.141)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: use it
only in the positions indicated. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
142)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT
58)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.

Proceed as follows:
place the vehicle in a safe and
suitable area, engaging the parking
brake. Take the kit from the specific
compartment. Remove the adhesive
label of speed 3 fig. 187 and apply it in
a visible position. Wear the protective
gloves provided. Remove the cap from
the valve of the punctured tyre and
connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 1
fig. 188;
ensure that the on-off button 1
fig. 189 is in0(OFF) position. If
provided, open the cover of the
compressor 4 fig. 187 and insert the
electrical connector in the car’s 12V
socket fig. 190, start the car engine;
activate the compressor moving
on-off 1 button toI(ON) position
fig. 189. When the pressure gauge
2 shows the car’s required pressure
(see section “Wheels” under “Technical
data” chapter), switch off the
compressor moving on-off button 1 to
0position. If after 5 minutes from the
compressor ignition, the pressure
gauge 2 indicates a pressure less than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch off the
compressor, disconnect the sealing
fluid tube from the tyre valve, re-screw
the valve cap and move the car about
10 meters to allow the distribution of
sealing fluid in the tyre. Stop the car
