2018 FIAT PANDA fuel pump

LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If
the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration
and the testing/inspection procedures
of the LPG tank can vary depending on
the national laws of that country. In all
case, when the time limit for your
country has expired, go to a Fiat Dealer
to have the tank replaced.
SELECTION OF
PETROL/LPG SUPPLY
TYPE
32)15) 16) 17)
The button A fig. 41 (petrol/LPG switch)
allows you to select running on petrol
or LPG.To guarantee switching in full safety, the
actual change to the chosen fuel
system takes place depending on the
car usage conditions; it may not
therefore be immediate.
Switching is confirmed by the green
warning light
on the instrument panel
turning on/off.
If the LPG runs out, switching to petrol
takes place automatically. In this case
the display shows the
icon just
above the wording LPG and the four
bars of the digital gauge turn off.
REFUELLING
18) 19)
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 30.5 litres. 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. In
addition, this figure may vary from one
refuelling to another due to differences
between the network pump supply
pressures, pumps having different
supply/locking features, tank not
completely run out of fuel.
WARNING
30)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.
31)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.
32)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
WARNING
10)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between -20°C and 100°C.
11)If the fuel runs out while running on
LPG, the car switches to petrol
automatically and all the bars of the digital
indicator on the display turn off. The
display remains in this state until the next
LPG refuelling.

WARNING
116)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
117)Remember that the power brake and
electrical power steering are not
operational until the engine is started,
therefore a greater effort will be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering
wheel.
118)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by an acoustic signal.
WARNING
38)If the warning lightflashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates a
problem in the glow plug pre­heating
system. You can use the vehicle as usual if
the engine starts but you should contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
39)It is advisable not to demand
maximum performance from your car (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
maximum rpm, excessively intense braking,
etc.) when it is first used.40)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
41)Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
42)There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from LPG or Methane to petrol
operation, if high performance is required.
43)A quick burst on the accelerator
before turning off the engine serves
absolutely no practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is especially damaging to
turbocharged engines.
WHEN PARKED
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1stgear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
On versions equipped with Dualogic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with Dualogic transmission,
before placing the gear lever at P).
Handbrake
199) 200) 201)
The handbrake lever is located between
the front seats.
Handbrake engagement: pull lever A
fig. 80 upwards until the vehicle is
braked.

STARTING AND DRIVING

after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds
in order for the fuel to flow inside the
tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap A.Emergency refuelling
Proceed as follows:
open the boot and take the adapter
B fig. 90 located in the tool box
(versions equipped with space-saver
wheel - for versions/markets, where
provided) or in the Fix&Go container
(versions equipped with Fix&Go);
open flap A, pulling it outwards;
introduce the adapter B in the filler
and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap, then reintroduce the
adapter in its casing and put it back
in the boot.
LPG versions
To access the LPG filler, open the
access flap A fig. 91 and undo the cap
B.
Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
turn the ignition key to STOP;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter A fig. 92
over to the qualified LPG refuelling
personnel.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
LPG refuelling pumps. Filler adapter,
supplied with the vehicle and located in
a special case, is specifically designed
for the country in which the vehicle is
sold. If you are in a different country,
find out what type of adaptor is used
there.

WARNING
128)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/caps could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
129)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
130)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
WARNING
48)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN 590 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.
49)The other plates (provided with the
vehicle documents) show the date when
the first cylinder inspection/test is due.
Methane refuelling stations are not
authorised to refill the cylinders when the
inspection date has expired.
