IMPORTANT If gas is smelt, switch from
LPG operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to the Fiat Dealership to
have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults excluded.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. 67 on the
instrument panel, switches off.If you specifically want to use petrol,
press the button on the dashboard
fig. 68. 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.

KNOWING YOUR CAR
Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on the
warning light on the instrument
panel and a warning message on the
display, along with an acoustic signal.
In this case, the outline of the car is
shown on the display with the two
symbols
.
This warning is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
Reset procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
driving on a straight road at 80 km/h for
at least 20 minutes) which starts when
the RESET procedure is carried out.
The RESET procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).If the RESET procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on one
or more tyres.
To carry out the RESET, with the vehicle
stationary and the engine on, hold
down the Reset button
located on
the left control panel fig. 86 for at least
2 seconds.
When the RESET procedure has been
carried out, and depending on the type
of instrument panel, either only a buzzer
will be heard or the message "Reset
saved" will appear together with the
buzzer to indicate that self-learning has
started.
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. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver spare wheel, use
of the "Fix&Go" tyre repair kit, fitting
snow chains, fitting different tyres on
the axles) the system may provide 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 warning 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.
In the case of abnormal signals, it is
recommended to perform the RESET
procedure. If the warnings reappear
once the RESET procedure has started,
check that the same type of tyre is used
on all four wheels and that the tyres are
not damaged; if the space-saver spare
wheel is being used, refit a wheel with a
tyre of normal dimensions in place of
8606056J0008EM

take out the toolbox 3 and bring it
next to the wheel to be replaced;
take the spare wheel or the
space-saver wheel 2 (for TIPO 5DOOR
version);
for versions with steel rim: remove
the hub cap 1 fig. 173 using the
specific tool 2 fig. 174, located in the
tool container: grip the tool with two
fingers, insert the tongue between tyre
and hub cap and pull towards yourself
perpendicular to the wheel;
take the chock 1 fig. 175 and fold it
out as shown in the diagram;
place the chock 1 on the wheel
diagonally opposite the one to be
replaced (see fig. 176 ) to prevent the
vehicle from moving irregularly when it
is lifted from the ground;
loosen the bolt of the wheel to be
replaced by about one turn with the
wrench provided 1 fig. 177; rock the car
to make it easier to separate the rim
from the wheel hub;

operate the device 1 fig. 178 to
extend the jack until the top of the jack
2 fits correctly into the side member
3 of the vehicle, next to the
symbol
on the side member;
alert any bystander that the car is
about to be raised; all persons should
be kept away from the car and nobody
must touch it until it has been lowered;
operate the jack handle 1fig. 178 (clockwise) to operate the jack
and raise the car until the wheel is
raised a few centimetres above the
ground.
loosen the bolts completely and
remove the punctured wheel;
make sure the contact surfaces
between spare or space-saver wheel
(for TIPO 5DOOR version) and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
fit the spare or space-saver wheel
(for TIPO 5DOOR version) by inserting
the first bolt for two threads into the
hole closest to the inflation valve and
proceed in the same manner with the
other bolts;
tighten the retaining bolts well using
wrench 1 fig. 177;
turn the jack handle 1
fig. 178 (anticlockwise) to lower the car
and remove the jack;
use the wrench provided to fasten
the bolts completely in a criss-cross
fashion as shown in fig. 180;
for versions with steel rim, fit the hub
cap on the spare wheel: make the
groove 1 fig. 181 provided on the hub
cap and highlighted by symbol
2 coincide with the inflation valve;

IN AN EMERGENCY
place the inner part of the hub cap
on the wheel rim;
engage the hub cap by applying an
axial force in several points as shown in
fig. 182 to allow the correct coupling
between hub cap and wheel.
NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted to
the space-saver wheel (for TIPO
5DOOR version).
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Tyres with unidirectional tread can be
recognised by arrows on the side of the
tyre which indicate the direction of
rotation. It is compulsory to comply with
this direction.Only in this way can the tyres maintain
their characteristics in terms of grip,
noise, resistance to wear and drainage
on wet surfaces.
If, after a puncture, it is necessary to
fit such a tyre the wrong way round, it
will be necessary to continue driving
with great care, since the tyre’s
performance is limited in these
conditions. This precaution must be
borne in mind above all when the road
surface is wet.
In order to benefit completely from
the unidirectional tread, it is advisable to
restore all wheels to the correct
direction of rotation as soon as
possible.
WARNING
149)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
in the boot.
150)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.151)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed.
152)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.
153)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
18208046J0011EM

154)Observe the following instructions if
the car is equipped with a spare wheel
smaller than the normal size (a 16” spare
wheel is provided with 17" and 18" tyres)
or a space-saver spare wheel. The
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets
where provided) is specific to your car, do
not use it on other models, or use the
space-saver wheel of other models on your
car. 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! 80 km/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
vehicle's driving characteristics will be
modified with the space-saver wheel fitted.
Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering. The
driving characteristics of the car will be
modified with the space-saver spare wheel
or spare wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. The overall duration of
the space-saver wheel is about 3000 km,
after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a traditional tyre on a rim
designed to be used as a space-saver
wheel. Have the wheel repaired and refitted
as soon as possible. Using two or more
space-saver spare wheels or spare wheels
at the same time is forbidden. Do not apply
grease to the bolt threads before fitting:
they could come unscrewed.IMPORTANT
65)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: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
66)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.
