LPG VERSIONS
LPG filler
The LPG filler is placed next to the
petrol filler plug.
It has a “non return”, located in the filler
body itself.
55DVDF0S034c
To access the filler, open the access
flap A-fig. 55 and undo the cap B.
Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:
❒ stop the engine;
❒ apply the handbrake;
❒ turn the ignition key to STOP;
❒ do not smoke;
❒ hand the special adapter over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
IMPORTANT Before refuelling with
LPG, the qualified personnel should
make sure that the adaptor is correctly
tightened onto the filler fitting.
IMPORTANT Depending on the
country, there are different types of
adapters for refuelling pumps.
The adapter C-fig. 56 that comes with
the car in a special case is specifically
designed for the country in which the
car is sold.

55
If you are in a different country, find out
what type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Only use LPG for motor
vehicles.
IMPORTANT Look after the LPG
adaptor carefully so that it does not get
damaged.

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.

21) VEHICLE REFUELLING
•Do not bring naked flames or lit cigarettes near to the fuel tank
opening: fire risk. Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
•During normal service the catalyst reaches high temperatures;
therefore do not park the car over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
•Do not use a mobile phone near the refuelling pump: risk of fire.
22) SEAT BELTS - PRETENSIONERS
•Do not press the seat belt release button while the vehicle is
moving.
•Remember that in the event of an accident, the rear seat
passengers not wearing seat belts are exposed to a very serious
risk and also represent a serious danger for the front seat
occupants.
•The pretensioner may be used only once. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have it replaced after it has been deployed.
•For maximum safety, keep the backrest upright, lean back into
it and make sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest and
pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts on both the front and the rear
seats.
•Travelling without wearing seat belts will increase the risk of
serious injury and even death in the event of an accident.
•Removing or tampering with seat belt and pretensioner
components is strictly prohibited. Any intervention on these
components must be performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.

PERSONAL SAFETY

19) START&STOP SYSTEM
•When replacing the battery, always go to a Fiat Dealership.
Replace the battery with one of the same type (HEAVY DUTY)
and with the same specifications.
•Before opening the bonnet, make sure that the vehicle is
switched off and the key is in the STOP position.
Please follow the instructions on the decal near the front
crossmember. It is advisable to extract the key when there are
other people in the car.
The car should always be left after the key has been removed
or turned to the STOP position. When refuelling, make sure
that the car is switched off with the key in the STOP position.
•For cars with Dualogic gearbox, if the engine is
automatically stopped on a slope, the engine should be
restarted by moving the gear lever
to + or – without –releasing the brake pedal.
For vehicles with Dualogic transmission, where the Hill Holder
function is present, in case of stop downhill the motor does
not cut off automatically, so as to make the Hill Holder
function - which is active only when the engine is running -
available.
•If climate comfort is to be favoured, the Start&Stop system
can be disabled, for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.
20) ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-
standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the
brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or
on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal
stroke (mats, etc.).

• 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.
