WARNING
2)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked by a Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
3)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the parking brake.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.4)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,
invalidate the warranty, cause serious
safety problems and also result in the car
not meeting type-approval requirements.
5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. On versions with
automatic transmission (where present),
bring the gear lever to P (Park) and turn the
ignition device to bring it to STOP. If the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope, chock
the wheels with wedges or stones. When
leaving the vehicle, always lock all the
doors by pressing the button on the key.
7)On versions with automatic transmission
(where present), it is advisable to put the
transmission in P, release the brake pedal
safely and then stop the engine to release
the key smoothly.
FIAT CODE
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started by
turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat
Code system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
The code is sent only if the Fiat Code
system control unit has acknowledged
the code received from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat Code system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
symbol is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided.

If it is still not possible to start the
engine, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Activation of warning light while
driving
If thesymbol is displayed while
driving, this means that the system is
running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop).
If the display persists, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

Air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons//,it
is possible to set one of the 5 possible
air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to
demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This air
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen
and front side vents. This
distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be
warmed up efficiently and
prevents the windows from
misting up.
In AUTO mode, the climate control
system automatically manages air
distribution (the LEDs on buttons 7 are
off). When set manually, the air
distribution is indicated by the LEDs on
the selected buttons switching on.
In combined function mode the relevant
function is enabled simultaneously with
those already set by pressing the
corresponding button. If a button
whose function is already active is
pressed, the operation is cancelled and
the corresponding LED switches off. Torestore automatic control of the air
distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop(where provided)
The automatic climate control system
manages the Start&Stop system
(engine off when vehicle speed is equal
to 0 km/h) to ensure adequate comfort
inside the vehicle.
When the Start&Stop system is on
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of the windows misting up
(as the compressor is off).
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf. In case of a recharge
operation, only use the gas indicated on
the label placed in the engine
compartment. The use of other coolants
affects the efficiency and condition of the
system. The lubricant used for the
compressor is also strictly linked to the type
of cooling gas, please refer to a Fiat
Dealership.

Proceed as follows:
hold the bonnet up with one hand
and with the other remove the stay 3
fig. 44 from the housing 4 and fit it back
in locking device;
lower the bonnet to approximately
40 centimetres from the engine

KNOWING YOUR CAR
LPG TANK
The car has a pressurised tank for
storing LPG in a liquid state. It is
toroidal and is located in the spare
wheel compartment with suitable
protection.
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 provisions in force in that
country. In all case, when the time limit
for your country has expired, go to a
Fiat Dealer to have the tank replaced.
LPG/PETROL SWITCH
This engine normally runs on LPG
except during starting when it runs on
petrol. Switching to LPG is automatic,
the warning light
1 fig. 69 on the
instrument panel, switches off.If you specifically want to use petrol,
press the button on the dashboard
fig. 70. If the LED located above the
button turns on, it indicates that
switching has taken place correctly.
Regardless of the last fuel system used,
at the following engine starting, after the
initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to LPG.
The bars 2 fig. 71 on the display
indicate the level of LPG in the tank.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 switching on/off of the
green warning light
on the
instrument panel.
NOTE
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.
In addition, when starting at outside
temperatures below approximately
–10°C, the switching times from petrol
to LPG increase to allow the pressure
regulator/reduction unit to heat up.
