KNOWING YOUR CAR

When the power steering is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
WARNING
32)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
33)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always turn off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.

INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel
supply systems: one for petrol and one
for LPG.
PASSIVE SAFETY /
ACTIVE SAFETY
If the car is parked for a long time or
needs to moved in an emergency
(because of a fault or an accident),
proceed as follows:
undo the fixing devices A fig. 52,
then remove the cover B;
close the LPG cock rotating the ring
nut C fig. 53 clockwise. Refit the cover
and retighten the fastening devices A.LPG TANK
The car has a (pressurised) tank A fig.
54 for storing LPG in a liquid state
located in the spare wheel
compartment with suitable protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.

18)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.
19)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
20)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 38.4 litres
(reserve included) (with a tolerance of 2
litres excess). If the level is above 38.4 litres
(reserve included) contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
21)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.22)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.VERSION WITH

one turn. For versions with alloy rims,
shake the car to facilitate detachment
of the rim from the wheel hub;
take the chock from the tool bag
and open it out (see fig. 124);
position the chock behind the wheel
diagonally opposite the one to be
replaced to prevent the car from
moving when it is raised, then fit the
jack underneath the car, next to the
wheel to be replaced;
insert the wrench A fig. 125 to
extend the jack until the top of the jack
B fits correctly into the sidemember

inserting the first stud bolt for two
threads into the hole closest to the
valve, then tighten the stud bolt by a
couple of threads, and do the same to
the others;

stud bolts in a criss-cross fashion as
per the numerical sequence illustrated
in fig. 126;
when replacing a wheel with alloy
rim it is advisable to place it upside
down (side with finish facing upwards).
