WARNING
28)If you are travelling in areas with few
filling stations and you want to transport
fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured
tank. In the event of a collision the fire
risk is increased all the same.
29)Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the boot (see "Technical
Specifications" section). Also make sure
that the objects you place in the luggage
compartment have been properly secured,
to avoid them from being thrown forward
consequent to sudden braking and injuring
your passengers.
30)You must not use the folded rear seat
to carry luggage. The load could be thrown
forward into the backrest of the front

INTRODUCTION
The Fiat Fiorino Natural Power version
features two fuel systems, one for
petrol and one for natural gas
(methane).
Selecting the type of fuel supply
Fiat Fiorino Natural Power is configured
to run normally on methane gas.
When the methane is running out and
the pressure in the cylinder is close
to the correct operating limit, the
system automatically switches to petrol
operation.
The engine always starts up on petrol,
with automatic switching to methane
when the best conditions are achieved
(engine water temperature, minimum
engine rpm limit) for switching to
methane.
Therefore, there must always be some
petrol in the tank (at least 1/4 full), in
order not to compromise the operation
of the fuel pump.For this reason there must always
be petrol in the tank.
The petrol/methane switch fig. 65,
amongst the controls in the dashboard,
makes it possible to select petrol
operation. The system does not switch
automatically to methane operation if
the petrol runs out.
IMPORTANT If gas is smelled, switch
from methane operation to petrol
operation and immediately go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the vehicle checked
and possible system faults excluded.
CYLINDERS
The vehicle has two cylinders (total
capacity about 77 litres) located under
the floor and protected by two special
guards.
The cylinders fig. 66 and fig. 67 are the
tank that contains methane in
compressed gaseous state (200 rated
bar at 15 °C).
65F0T0343
35
The methane, stored in the canisters at
high pressure, flows through a
dedicated pipe to reach the pressure
regulator/reduction unit which supplies
the 4 methane injectors at low pressure
(about 6 bar).
Cylinder capacity: about 13 kg. The
amount of methane depends on the
outside temperature, the supply
pressure, the quality of the gas and the
type of refuelling system. Total cylinder
volume about 77 litres.Cylinder certification
The methane canisters are certified in
accordance with EEC Regulation 110.
The cylinders must be inspected, in
accordance with ECE Regulation
Procedure no. 110, every 4 years
from the vehicle registration date or
in accordance with specific
regulations in individual countries.
PETROL/METHANE
SWITCH
This engine normally runs on methane
except during starting when it runs
on petrol. Switching to methane takes
place automatically and is shown on
the instrument panel display by
switching off the
signal in the display.
Methane fuel reserve
The level of methane in the cylinders is
indicated by the four vertical bars
near the word CNG on the instrument
panel display fig. 68. When the residual
amount of methane is lower than 1/5
of the capacity of the cylinders, the first
level and the edges of the bars of the
other 3 levels flash until the next
methane refuelling. A specific message
will appear on the display in addition
to an acoustic warning.If the methane has run out, switching to
petrol takes place automatically. In this
case the display shows the
icon
just above the CNG wording and all the
bars of the edges for the empty
notches light up constantly, regardless
of the type of supply; see fig. 69 or
fig. 70.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h. In a few situations such as
sporty driving, particular conditions of
the road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,
unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may
be delayed or partial in detecting the
contemporary deflation of more than
one tyre. Under special conditions (e.g.
vehicle loaded asymmetrically on one
side, towing a trailer, damaged or worn
tyre, fitting the space-saver wheel,
use of the "Fix&Go Automatic"
kit, fitting snow chains, fitting different
tyres on the axles) the system may give
false indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light
flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message. This warning is
displayed also after the engine has
been switched off and then on again if
the correct operating conditions are not
restored.

WARNING
56)The iTPMS is optimised for the original
tyres and wheels provided. iTPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
is equipped with iTPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
57)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
58)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacement system for
maintenance or a safety system.
59)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
60)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.61)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
62)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect your ability to drive the
vehicle safely.
63)Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure. This
prevents dampness or dirt from entering
the valve stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being damaged.
64)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
iTPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original ones are
used, it is recommended to have the
iTPMS sensor operation checked by a
qualified repair centre.
65)If the system signals a loss of pressure
on a specific tyre, it is recommended to
check the pressure on all four tyres.

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
111)
25) 26)
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
IMPORTANT Never introduce leaded
petrol to the tank, even in small
amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
Operation at low temperatures
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas).If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable
to mix PETRONAS DURANCE DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown
on the container with the fuel. Pour
the additive into the tank before the
fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAPOpening
1) Open the flap A fig. 117 by pulling it
outwards, keep the cap B fig. 117
still, insert the ignition key in the lock
and turn it anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it.
The cap has a device C fig. 117 that
attaches it to the flap so it cannot
be lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.

DIESEL EMISSIONS
ADDITIVE (UREA)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures
lower than -11°C. If the vehicle stands
for a long time at this temperature refill-
ing could be difficult. For this reason, it
is advised to park the vehicle in a
garage and/or heated environment and
wait for the UREA to return to liquid
state before topping up.

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.
