2018 FIAT 500 fuel reserve

17
FUEL RESERVE - LIMITED RANGE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light or the symbol switches on in the display when about 5 litres of fuel are left in the tank. The triangle on the
right side of the symbol indicates the side of the car with the fuel filler.
IMPORTANT If the warning light flashes or the symbol is constantly on, depending on the versions, there is a fault in the
system. If this is the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
GLOW PLUG/GLOW PLUG PREHEATING FAULT (diesel versions)
Glow plugs
This warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR (for versions/markets, where provided). It will switch off as
soon as the glow plugs have reached a preset temperature. The engine can be started as soon as the warning light
switches off.
IMPORTANT At moderate or high ambient temperatures the warning light may stay on for an extremely short time.
Glow plug preheating failure
The warning light will flash, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, to indicate a fault in the plug
preheating system.
In these cases, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the fault fixed.
mm
DPF CLEANING (PARTICULATE TRAP) IN PROGRESS (diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light or symbol appears on the display fixed, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display,
to notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.
The warning light remains off during the regeneration process; it switches on only if the driving conditions require the driver
to be alerted.
To switch the warning light off definitively, the vehicle must be kept moving until the regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts 15 minutes.
Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to a workshop. On
some versions, together with the warning light switching on, the display shows a dedicated message.

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

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.
