Operation at low temperatures
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
whose specifications are not suitable
for the usage temperature, it is
advisable to mix PETRONAS
DURANCE DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
Opening
1) Open the flap A fig. 115 by pulling it
outwards, keep the cap B fig. 115
still, insert the ignition key in the lock
and turn it anticlockwise.2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it.
The cap has a device C fig. 115 that
attaches it to the flap so it cannot
be lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.METHANE ENGINES
(NATURAL POWER)
METHANE GAS FILLER
The methane filler is located near the
petrol filler fig. 116.
It has a check valve, located in the filler
body.
To access the filler, undo the capAfig.
116 turning it anticlockwise.
The profile of fillerBfig. 117 for refilling
is the universal type, compatible with

In some European countries adapters
are considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in
Germany).
For service stations with cubic metre
(m
3) nozzles (pressure differential)
the check valves must be released by
delivering a small amount of methane to
measure the residual pressure in the
cylinder.
The plates (provided with the vehicle
documentation) contain the date for the

STARTING AND DRIVING
Page 107 of 196

WARNING
32)For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due
to the damage caused. If you accidentally
introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine. Empty the tank.
If the engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time, you must
not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of
the supply circuit as well.
33)You must not open the right sliding side
door with the fuel cap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel cap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side
door.
34)Methane refuelling stations are not
authorised to refill the cylinders when the
inspection date has expired. The check
valve prevents the methane from flowing
back to the fuel filler.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The vehicle must be equipped with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electrical system to tow trailers.
Installation should be carried out by
specialised technicians who will issue
the required papers for travelling on
roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that, when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle
tow hook will reduce the loading
capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In all cases, the top speed must not
exceed 80 km/h.
IMPORTANT For Natural Power
versions, trailers cannot be towed so
there are no provisions for fitting a tow
hook.
106) 107)
WARNING
106)The ABS with which the vehicle may
be equipped will not control the trailer's
braking system. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
107)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent from the hydraulic system of
the vehicle.

warn anybody nearby that the
vehicle is about to be lifted. They must
stay clear and not touch the vehicle
until it is back on the ground;
operate the jack and lift the vehicle
until the wheel is several centimetres off
the ground. When turning the crank,
ensure that it rotates freely in order
to avoid grazing your hands against the
ground. The moving components of
the jack (screws and joints) can also
cause injuries: avoid touching them. If
you come into contact with lubricating
grease, clean yourself thoroughly;
fully loosen the four fastening bolts
and remove the wheel;
make sure the contact surfaces
between spare wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
fit the standard wheel by inserting
the first bolt two threads B fig. 126 into
the hole nearest to the inflation valve
A;
fit the hub cap, making sure that the

check that the position of the
replaced wheel under the platform is
correct (the lifting system is equipped
with a clutch to limit the end of the
stroke, incorrect positioning may
jeopardise safety;)
lift the wheel by fastening the bolt A
fig. 121;
put jack and tools back in the
specific tool bag;
reposition the tool bag behind the
left seat (Cargo versions) or in the boot
(Combi versions);
secure the tool box to the hooks.
WARNING
108)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.109)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.
110)The spare wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided) is specifically for
your vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not use spare
wheels of other models on your vehicle.
The spare wheel must be used only in an
emergency. Use of the spare wheel must
be strictly reduced to the necessary
minimum.
111)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out
of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. If you are on
a slope or uneven surface, place wedges
or other suitable objects under the wheels
to secure the vehicle. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.
112)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.
113)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
referring to the values shown in the
"Technical data" chapter.
114)Never use the space-saver spare
wheel for more than strictly necessary and
never exceed 80 km/h. On the space-saver
wheel there is an orange label,
summarising the main warnings regarding
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover
the label. Warning! For temporary use only!
80 km/h max.! Replace by standard wheel
as soon as possible.
WARNING
35)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: do not
touch them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the fixing bolts checked.
