If you want the car to run on petrol,
press the button fig. 71 located
between the controls in the dashboard.
The LED on the button switching on
indicates that the request for switching
has taken place correctly.The actual change to the chosen fuel
system takes place depending on
the vehicle usage conditions to
guarantee switching in absolute safety
and will be confirmed by the
warning
light in the instrument panel display
coming on/going off.
Manual switching of the operating
mode from petrol to methane and
vice versa only occurs if the engine
speed is below 2000 rpm.
In addition, in the case of starting at
outside temperatures of below around
-10°C, the switching times from Petrol
to Methane increase to allow the
pressure regulator/reduction unit to
become warm enough.
IMPORTANT If switching takes place
during acceleration or pick-up, there
may be a brief flat spot (drop in power).
WARNING
31)The Fiat Fiorino Natural Power is
equipped with a high pressure methane
fuel supply system, designed to operate at
a rated pressure of 200 bar. It is dangerous
to stretch the system with higher
pressures. To prevent damage to the
methane system parts when towing or
lifting the vehicle, follow the instructions in
the main handbook in the chapter: "Towing
the vehicle". If there is a problem with the
methane system, only contact a Fiat
Dealership. Do not alter the methane
system configuration or components. They
are designed exclusively for the Fiat
Fiorino Natural Power. The use of other
components or materials could cause
malfunctions and prejudice safety.
32)When oven painting, the cylinders must
be removed from the vehicle and refitted
by a Fiat Dealership. Although the methane
system has numerous safety features, it is
advisable to close the manual tap on the
cylinders every time the vehicle is not
in use for a long period, transported on
other vehicles or moved in an emergency
as a result of a breakdown or accident.
33)If gas is smelt, switch from methane
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Fiat Dealerships to
have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults supply excluded.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
IMPORTANT If start-up is requested
with the gearbox faulty, carry out the
"Delayed start-up" procedure (see
associated messages): turn the key to
the AVV position for at least 7 seconds
with the brake depressed and the
engine will start. The system will be in
recovery mode (maximum permitted
gear: 3
rd, Automatic mode not
available). If the engine does not start,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
STARTING THE VEHICLE
(COMFORT-MATIC
TRANSMISSION)
Starting is allowed in both 1
stgear and
2ndgear (recommended on road
surfaces with poor grip) and also in
reverse gear (R).
IMPORTANT It is advisable to operate
the handbrake when setting off on a
steep hill.
To engage 1
stgear:
press the brake pedal;
with the lever in (N)or(R), move the
lever to the middle position;
with the lever already in the middle,
move the lever towards+;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal (fully depressing
the pedal quickly to the end of travel
position for a "lively" departure).To engage 2
stgear:
press the brake pedal;
with the lever in (N)or(R) , move the
lever to the middle position and then
towards+;
with the lever already in the middle,
move the lever once towards+;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal.
When setting off on a medium-steep
incline, it is advisable to use the
handbrake.
To engage reverse (R):
press the brake pedal;
IMPORTANT With the vehicle running,
the request is accepted and executed if
the vehicle speed drops below 3 km/h
within 1.5 seconds from the request:
if the request is not executed, the
system will keep the gear engaged or, if
the speed of the car drops below 10
km/h, will put the transmission in
neutral (N) and the manoeuvre will have
to be repeated.
Put the lever in (R);
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
96)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.
97)Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system 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.
WARNING
13)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessive intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
14)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
15)If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates a
problem in the glow plug preheating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.

USING THE MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever A
fig. 105 into the required position (the
diagram for gear engagement is shown
on the knob).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the vehicle is at a
standstill. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
102)
20)
WARNING
102)Press the clutch pedal fully to shift
gears correctly. It is therefore essential that
there is nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do not get
in the way of the pedals.
WARNING
20)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
The clutch pedal should be used only
for gear changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal, however
lightly. For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch control
could cut in, interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.
“COMFORT-MATIC”
TRANSMISSION
The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled manual
gearbox known as COMFORT-MATIC
that has two operating modes:
MANUALandAUTO.
It is possible to use theECOfunction
(Economy) with theAUTOlogic which
reduces consumption. Press button
E fig. 106 to turn this function on.
If theECOfunction is used, the display
will show the letter E (Economy) next
to the gear engaged fig. 107.

STARTING AND DRIVING
117)The space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific to your vehicle, do not use it on
other models, or use the space-saver
wheel of other models on your vehicle. The
space-saver wheel must only be used in
the event of an emergency. Never use it for
more than strictly necessary and never
exceed 80 km/h. "Warning! For temporary
use only! 80km/h max! Replace with
standard wheel as soon as possible. Never
remove or cover the sticker on the
space-saver wheel. Never apply a wheel
cap on a space-saver wheel. The driving
characteristics of the vehicle will be
modified with the space-saver wheel fitted.
Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.
118)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.119)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.
120)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.
WARNING
28)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.
29)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the fixing bolts checked.
