2018 FIAT TALENTO refuelling

READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Only refuel with automotive diesel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the
engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged, put the gear in neutral, fully press the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition
key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started. In versions with an electronic key, the engine will start as soon as the button on
the starter device is pressed.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it is
made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Also make sure the lock system was
not accidentally disabled.
In case it was disabled, re-enable it
after disconnecting and reconnecting
the starter device.
WARNING
3)For safety reasons, make sure all the
doors are well closed before setting out.
4)Never leave the vehicle with the remote
or electronic key inside.
5)For safety reasons, always open/close
doors when the vehicle is stopped.
6)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, let alone leave it with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake or the brake pedal.
7)Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the
door carefully until it locks in place. Always
make sure the sliding door is completely
closed before the vehicle starts moving.
8)Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.9)You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel flap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel flap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side door
to avoid damage.
10)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
12)Always use this device when carrying
children.
13)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
14)When closing, shut the right hand
swing door fully before you close the left
hand swing door. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
15)In case of wind, do not leave the rear
swing doors open. Risk of injury.
16)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.

WARNING
37)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper is in position A
(stopped). Risk of injury.
38)If the window needs to be cleaned,
make sure the device is deactivated or the
key is on STOP.

compartment, make sure that the rear
window wiper is in the stopped position.
Risk of injury.
IMPORTANT
5)Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
subsequently restored, even after restarting
the vehicle, contact a Fiat Dealership.
6)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
7)Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.

Fuel filling
To refill the tank with the starter device
disengaged, insert the fuel nozzle and
push it as far as it will go before starting
fuelling (risk of splatters).
Hold the nozzle in this position the
entire time you are refilling.
If filling up, after the first automatic stop,
you can top up another two clicks to
keep the expansion volume inside the
tank empty. When refuelling, make sure
water does not get in. The flap A and
related surrounding parts must be kept
clean.
Vehicles with the Start&Stop
function
IMPORTANT When refuelling, the
engine must be stopped and not in
stand-by.

EN16942
The symbols shown below facilitated
recognising the correct fuel type to be
used on your car. Before proceeding
with refuelling, check the symbols
inside the fuel filler flap (where provided)
and compare them with the symbols
shown on the fuel pump (where
provided).
Symbols for diesel powered cars
B7: Diesel containing up to 7% (V/V) of
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters)
compliant with theEN590specification
B10: Diesel containing up to 10% (V/V)
of FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters)
compliant with theEN16734
specification
WARNING
40)The tank cap is specific. If you need to
replace it, make sure it is the same as the
original. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
let the cap near a flame or heat source. Do
not wash the filling area with a high
pressure cleaning machine.
41)If there is a persistent odour of fuel,
proceed as follows: stop when traffic
conditions allow and disengage the starter
device; start the emergency lights and get
all the occupants out of the vehicle and
away from traffic; contact a Fiat Dealership.
42)Any intervention or modification of the
fuel supply system (electronic circuits,
wiring, fuel circuit, injector, guards, etc.) is
strictly prohibited because of the risks
involved (entrust this exclusively to qualified
Fiat Dealership personnel).
IMPORTANT
8)Do not mix petrol (unleaded or E85) with
diesel, even the smallest amount. Do not
use ethanol-based fuel if your vehicle is not
suitable. To prevent damage to the engine,
do not add additives to the fuel.

DIESEL VERSION
PARTICULARITIES
17)
Engine speed
Diesel engines are equipped with an
injection system that does not let the
engine exceed a certain number of
revs, no matter what gear is engaged.
If you see the message "Anti-pollution
control" with the warning light
and
the alarm light, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
While driving, depending on the fuel
type used, in exceptional cases the
vehicle might emit white smoke.
This is due to the automatic
regeneration of the anti-particulate filter
and has no consequences on the
vehicle's performance.
Complete lack of fuel
When refuelling after completely using
up all fuel, you need to restore the fuel
circuit: refer to the "Refuelling the
vehicle" paragraph before restarting the
engine.Winter precautions
To prevent any ice-related
inconvenience:
make sure that the battery is always
charged,
make sure not to leave too little
diesel in the tank, so it doesn't form
water vapour condensation that
accumulates on the bottom of the tank.
IMPORTANT
17)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.
