2019 FIAT FIORINO check

IMPORTANT NOTES
The front airbags and/or side bags (for
versions/markets, where provided)
may be deployed if the vehicle is
subject to heavy knocks or accidents
involving the underbody area, such
as for example violent shocks against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles, or the
vehicle falling into big potholes or
depressions in the road.
A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The
dust is not harmful and does not
indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the
deployed bag and the interior of the
vehicle may be covered in a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
Should an accident occur in which any
of the safety devices are activated,
take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to
have the activated devices replaced
and to have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement
operation concerning the airbags must
be carried out only at Fiat Dealerships.If you are having the vehicle scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated at a
Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle
changes ownership, the new owner
must be informed of the method of use
of airbags and the above warnings
and also be given this "Owner
Handbook".
Pretensioners, front airbags and front
side bags are deployed differently
according to the type of collision.
Failure to activate one or more of the
devices does not indicate a system
malfunction.

WARNING
86)There may be an anomaly in the
restraint systems if the warning light
does not light up when the key is turn
to MAR or remains on while driving (on
some versions with a message on the
display). In this case, the airbags or the
pretensioners may not be activated in the
case of an accident or (in a lesser number
of cases) they may be activated incorrectly.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
87)Always drive with your hands on the
rim of the steering wheel so that the airbag
can inflate freely if required. Do not drive
bent over the steering wheel, but rather sit
upright with your back firmly resting against
the seat back.88)In some versions, in the event of a LED
failure (located on the dashboard
panel), thewarning light on the
instrument panel turns on and the
passenger side airbags are deactivated.
89)On cars with side bags, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.
90)Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
91)If the ignition device is at MAR, even if
the engine is switched off, airbags may
be deployed when the vehicle is stationary
and hit by another vehicle. Therefore,
even if the car is stationary, when an active
front passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Therefore, always
deactivate the passenger side airbag
when a rearward facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passenger
seat. The front passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible in
order to prevent the child restraint system
from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed. Also
remember that, if the ignition device is
set to STOP, none of the safety devices
(airbags or pretensioners) will be deployed
in the event of collision. Non-deployment
in such cases does not indicate a system
malfunction.
95

92)Have the airbag system checked by a
Fiat Dealership if the car was stolen, if theft
was attempted, or if the car was subjected
to vandalism or flooding.
93)When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the
warning light (with front passenger
side airbag activated) on the central
dashboard switches on and flashes for a
few seconds as a reminder that the
passenger airbag will be deployed in the
event of a crash, then it should switch off.
94)The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners. For
collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
95)The airbag does not replace seat belts
but increases their efficiency. Furthermore,
since front airbags are not deployed in
low-speed frontal impacts, side impacts,
rear shunts or roll-overs, the passengers
are protected only by the seat belts which
must therefore be fastened at all times.
96
SAFETY

16)There must therefore always be
enough petrol in the tank to protect the
petrol pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from methane to petrol
operation, if high performance is required.
17)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 a buzzer.
18)Never, under any circumstances, jump
start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
19)A quick burst on the accelerator before
stopping the engine serves no practical
purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially
damaging to turbocharged engines.HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever fig. 104 is located
between the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement:
Pull lever upwards until the vehicle is
secured. The warning light
comes
on with the key at MAR.
Handbrake disengagement:
slightly raise lever A and hold button B
pressed, checking that the
warning
light switches off in the instrument
panel.
98) 99) 100)
WARNING
98)Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you.
99)The vehicle should be secured after
several clicks of the lever. If it is not,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have it
adjusted.
100)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If
the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge
or stone.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Proceed as follows:
park the vehicle on ground level;
stop the engine by turning the
ignition device to MAR;
open the bonnet by pulling the lever
under the dashboard on driver's side
(see "Engine bonnet" paragraph in the
"Knowing your car" chapter) and
remove the cap A (blue) fig. 118 from
theAdBlue® filler.
Refilling with nozzles
The system was designed in
compliance with ISO 22241-5 (nozzle
capacity: 10 l/min.). Refilling at stations
with higher flow rates is possible, but
the nozzle could shut off and the
amount introduced into the tank may
vary.Proceed as follows:
insert theAdBlue® nozzle in the
filler A fig. 118, start refilling and stop
refilling at the first shut-off (the shut-off
indicates that theAdBlue® tank is full).
Do not proceed with the refilling, to pre-
vent spillage ofAdBlue®;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into theAdBlue® tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling,
after the indication appears on
the instrument panel display (see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter), fill the
AdBlue® tank with no more than
litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is
full when theAdBlue® level in the con-
tainer stops pouring out. Do not pro-
ceed further.Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap A fig. 118 back on the
AdBlue® filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the vehicle. The indication may
stay on for a few seconds to
approximately half a minute. If the
engine is started and the vehicle is
moved, the indication will remain on for
longer. This will not compromise engine
operation;
if theAdBlue® was topped up
when the tank was empty, see the
“Refuelling ” paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for 2
minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT IfAdBlue® spills out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.A

IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM LEVEL: this could cause
damage to the reservoir. UREA
freezes at under -11 °C. Although
the system is designed to operate
below the freezing point of the
UREA, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level
because if the UREA freezes the
system can be damaged. Follow the
instructions in the “Topping up
AdBlue® diesel emissions additive
(UREA)” paragraph in this chapter.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the
fluid that has been spilled on the
ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added to
the Diesel fuel tank, this can result
in serious engine damage, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Do not add additives or other
fluids to AdBlue®, doing so could
damage the system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded AdBlue® may lead to
indications appearing on the instru-
ment panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in
the “Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into
another container: it could be con-
taminated.
In case of damage to the
sewage system of exhaust gas
resulting from the use of additives /
tap water, the introduction of diesel
fuel, or at least by not fulfilling the
requirements, the warranty expires.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter to con-
tinue using the vehicle normally.
AdBlue® (UREA) storage
AdBlue® (UREA) is a very stable prod-
uct with a long shelf life. Stored at tem-
peratures LOWER than 32 °C, it has a
shelf life of at least one year.
Follow the instructions on the label of
the container.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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
first inspection of the cylinders.

WARNING
111)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.
112)If
AdBlue® overheats for a pro-
longed period inside the tank to over 50 °C
(for example, due to direct solar irradiation),
AdBlue® can decompose ammonia
vapours. Ammonia vapours have a pungent
odour when the cap of the
AdBlue®tank
is unscrewed, therefore be careful not to
inhale any ammonia vapours in the tank
outlet. In this concentration, however, the
ammonia vapors are not harmful or danger-
ous to health.
WARNING
25)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.26)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.
27)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.
AdBlue®(UREA)
ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
The vehicle is equipped with an UREA
fuel injection system and a Selective
Catalytic Reduction catalyst to meet the
emission standards.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same time, they ensure
fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and
power. For messages and system
warnings, refer to the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter.
AdBlue® (UREA) is a very stable prod-
uct with a long shelf life. Stored at tem-
peratures LOWER than 32 °C, it has a
shelf life of at least one year.
For more information on theAdBlue®
liquid type, see the “Fluids and lubri-
cants” paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
The vehicle is provided with an
automaticAdBlue® heating system
when the engine starts allowing the
system to work correctly at tempera-
tures lower than -11 °C.
IMPORTANTAdBlue® freezes at tem-
peratures lower than -11 °C.

the threaded pin into one of the bolt
holes and secure by tightening knob B;
for vehicles with allow wheels,
remove the adapter D fig. 132 and
introduce the bracket into the adapter
D, insert the pin into the hole and
secure with the knob F;
position the wheel vertically and rest
the fitted adaptor on the inside of the
rim, then using the screws provided fix
the wheel to the adaptor fig. 133.
Tighten the screws with the wheel
spanner;
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. 124;
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
115)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.
116)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.
