Maximum refuelling capacity (including reserve): 30.5 litres of LPG
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. There may be slight variations to this figure as a result of:
differences between the network pump supply pressures, pumps having different supply/locking features,
tank not completely run out of fuel.
LPG versions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
196
The engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on:
however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could
cause premature deterioration of the engine oil.
For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off
before stopping the engine as described above. Do not complete
the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
•Water in the fuel circuit may severely damage the injection
system and cause irregular engine operation. If the warning light
or the symbol
Eturns on (together with a message on the display
for some versions), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible
to have the system bled. If the above indication occurs
immediately after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
• If the system signals a pressure decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres. The iTPMS
does not relieve the driver from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to be considered a system to
replace maintenance or a safety system. Tyre pressure must be
checked with tyres cold. Should it become necessary for whatever
reason to check pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the prescribed value, but
repeat the check when tyres are cold.
• The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops
(for example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them. Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration and may affect the
capacity to drive safely.
(CONTINUES)
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
•If when turning the key to MAR the warning light ¬does not
turn on or if it stays on when travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems;
in this event airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in
case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they may be
deployed accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
•A fault to the
¬warning light is indicated, according to the
version, by the ¬symbol appearing on the display or by the èwarning light blinking. In this case, warning light ¬may not
indicate failures in the retaining systems. Before continuing,
contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
•The blinking
èwarning light on indicates possible ¬warning light faults. In this case, warning light ¬may not
indicate failures in the retaining systems. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
•If the warning light
vturns on when the car is travelling
(on certain versions together with the message on the display),
stop the car immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
•If the
vwarning light (or v, for versions/markets, where
provided) switches on, the degraded engine oil must be changed
as soon as possible, and never more than 500 km from the first
time that the warning light switches on. Failure to observe the
above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate
the warranty. The activation of this warning light is not related to
the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top up with oil
when the warning light starts flashing.
•The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic and
weather conditions and the driver must always comply with the
Highway Code.

PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
42) INTERIORS
•Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified
petrol to clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause
a fire.
•Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding
50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
43) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – FUEL SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried
out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
44) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – RIM PROTECTOR
TYRES
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed
(with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with
Rim Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause
sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
45) LPG
•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.
•Do not switch between the two operating modes (petrol/LPG)
whilst starting the engine.
•The LPG supply system is equipped with a “consumption”
function linked to the LED display of LPG level on the switch; this
function activates only after a consistent variation in fuel level has
been detected. •Running the battery with an excessively low liquid level will
damage the battery beyond repair and could even cause its
explosion.
•If the vehicle must remain unused for a long time at a very low
temperature, remove the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
•When performing any operation on the battery or near it,
always protect your eyes with special goggles.
40) TYRES AND WHEELS
•Remember that the road holding qualities of your car also
depend on correct tyre pressures.
•If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may overheat and be
severely damaged as a result.
•Do not switch tyres from the right hand side of the vehicle to the
left hand side, and vice versa.
•Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the
use of temperatures exceeding 150°C.
The mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.
41) WINDSCREEN AND –REAR WINDOW WIPER
•Driving with worn windscreen/rear window wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad weather.
•If the window needs to be cleaned, make sure the device is
deactivated or the key is on STOP.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(CONTINUES)

201
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
It is therefore advisable to fill up with fuel at the first LPG
refuelling to obtain a more “precise” indication of the level.
•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.
46) ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION SYSTEMS
•The catalytic converter and particulate filter (DPF) reach very
high temperatures during operation.
Therefore, do not park the car on flammable materials (e.g.
grass, dry leaves, pine needles etc.) to avoid the risk of fire.
47) MULTIMEDIA
•Follow the safety rules provided: otherwise serious injuries
may occur to the occupants or the system may be damaged.
•If the volume is too loud this can be dangerous.
Adjust the volume so that you can still hear background noises
(e.g. horns, ambulances, police vehicles, etc.)
•Where provided, my:Car app is not intended to replace the
vehicle Owner Handbook.
•Do not carry out other operations during installation and wait
for its completion, in order not to affect correct operation of the
radio.48) iTPMS SYSTEM
•If the system signals a pressure decrease on one or more tyres,
it is recommended to always check the pressure on all four tyres.
•The iTPMS does not relieve the driver from the obligation to
check the tyre pressure every month; it is not to be considered a
system to replace maintenance or a safety system.
•Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres cold. Should it
become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even though it is higher than
the prescribed value, but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
•The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
•The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not
able to inflate them.
•Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel consumption, reduces
the tread duration and may affect the capacity to drive safely.

205
VEHICLE SAFETY
(CONTINUES) (CONTINUED)
If the above indication occurs immediately after refuelling,
water may have entered the tank: turn the engine off
immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
19) BULBS AND FUSES
• Halogen bulbs must be handled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted light and even
compromise duration of the lamp. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and
let the bulb dry.
• Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs changed at a
Fiat Dealership.
The correct operation and direction of the external lights are
absolutely essential for the safety of the car and of compliance
with the law.
• The intervention must be carried out taking all precautions
necessary to avoid damaging the bodywork (use a sufficiently
rigid and appropriately thick plastic card).
• If you need to wash the engine compartment, take care not
to directly hit the engine compartment fuse box
with the water jet.
20) LIFTING THE CAR
For versions equipped with side-skirts, pay particular attention
when positioning the lift arms at the workshop.
21) SCHEDULED SERVICING PLAN
• Petrol versions: If the vehicle is used mainly around town or
is driven less than 10,000 km annually, the engine oil and
engine oil filter must be changed every 12 months. • Diesel versions: If the car is used mainly for town driving, the
engine oil and filter should be changed every 12 months.
22) SERVICING: CHECKING LEVELS
• When topping up, take care not to mix up the various types of
fluids: they are not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
• Do not add oil with specifications other than those
of the oil already existing in the engine.
• The use of products with specifications other than those
indicated above could cause damage to the engine not covered
by the warranty.
• Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming into
contact with painted parts while checking.
Should it happen, immediately wash with water.
23) PARAFLU
UP
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the engine cooling system.
Use the same fluid as in the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with any other type of fluid.
If this occurs, do not start the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately.
24) BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Incorrect installation of electric and electronic devices may cause
severe damage to your car. After purchasing your vehicle, if you
wish to install any accessories (anti-theft, etc.), go to a Fiat
Dealership, which will suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.

207
• 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 fastening devices, then remove the cover B. Close
the LPG valve rotating the ring nut C clockwise; refit the cover and
tighten the fixing devices.
• 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, check
that it does not exceed the maximum capacity of 30.5 litres
(including reserve). If the level is above 30.5 litres (reserve
included) contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
In special usage conditions:
• starting up and operation at low ambient temperature
• LPG supply with low propane content: the system may
switch temporarily to petrol operation, without any indication.
In the case of:
• low LPG levels in the tank
• request for high performance (e.g. overtaking, car fully laden,
steep hills): the system can automatically switch to petrol
operation to guarantee the required engine performance; in this
event, the performed switching is shown by the orange (petrol)
LED lit and the green (LPG) LED off on the switch. When the
above conditions stop, the system automatically restores the
LPG operation; the orange (petrol) LED turns off and the green
(LPG) LED is lit on the switch.
(CONTINUED)
VEHICLE SAFETY
• To achieve the automatic switching described above, make sure
that there is always enough fuel in the petrol tank.
• There must therefore always be enough petrol in the tank to
protect the petrol pump and to guarantee temporary switching
from LPG to petrol operation.
30) CHANGING A WHEEL
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.
31) FIX&GO QUICK TYRE REPAIR KIT
• The sealant fluid is effective with external temperatures between
-40°C and +55°C. The sealant has an expiry date. It is possible to
repair tyres which have been damaged on tread up to a diameter
of 6 mm. Show the cartridge and the label to the personnel
charged with handling the tyre treated with the tyre repair kit.
