B fig. 31 and turn it clockwise to open
the roof or anticlockwise to close the
roof.
WARNING
22)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition switch to
avoid the risk of injury to those still inside
the car due to accidental operation of
the sun roof. Improper use of the roof can
be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that no-one is
exposed to the risk of being injured by the
moving sunroof or by objects getting
caught or hit by it.
WARNING
11)Use the sun roof only at "spoiler"
position if a transverse roof rack is fitted.
12)Do not open the sun roof if there is
snow or ice on it: you may damage it.
13)Be careful not to hit objects on the
storage shelf when you open the tailgate.
SOFT TOP
Suggestions
it is advisable to close the soft top
when the car is parked. The closed soft
top effectively protects the car from
bad weather and from theft;
it is advisable to put valuables in the
boot and lock the lid even when the
top is closed.
SOFT TOP MOVEMENT
23) 24) 25)
14) 15) 16)
IMPORTANT The motor may overheat if
the soft top is repeatedly operated
within a short space of time, thus
causing the overheating protection to
inhibit system operation. Wait for a
minute and repeat.
Opening from roof fully closed
position
Press the button A fig. 32 once to open
the roof automatically to the horizontal
opening position (spoiler position).
If one of the two buttons is pressed
before reaching the spoiler position, the
roof may stop in an intermediate
horizontal opening position.

travelling. Make sure that the bonnet is
properly closed and that the lock is
engaged. If you notice when driving that
the bonnet has not been properly locked,
stop immediately and close the bonnet
correctly.
34)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the handbrake is engaged.VERSION WITH LPG
SYSTEM
25)
INTRODUCTION
The "LPG" version of the car features
two fuel systems, one for petrol and
one for LPG. Like the petrol system, the
LPG system is timed, sequential
multipoint type with special injectors.
PASSIVE SAFETY / ACTIVE SAFETY
35) 36)
26) 27)
Passive safety
The car has the same passive safety
specifications as other versions. In
particular, the tank mountings (located
in the spare wheel housing) have been
designed to exceed the Fiat safety
standards for impact tests.
Active safety
The car has the same active safety
specifications as other versions.Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable
to proceed as follows every time the
car is not in use for a long period or
moved in an emergency as a result of a
fault or accident:
unscrew the fixing devices A fig. 41,
then remove the cover B;
close the LPG cock by rotating the
knurled ring nut C fig. 42 clockwise;
41F0S0541
42F0S0531
35

WARNING
25)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20°C and 100°C.
26)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden
to alter the configuration of the system or
its components. The use of other
components or materials could cause
malfunctions and lead to a reduction in
safety; therefore, in the case of problems,
contact a Fiat Dealership. To prevent
damage to the gas system parts when
towing or raising the vehicle, follow the
instructions in the "Towing the vehicle"
paragraph of the Owner Handbook.
27)When painting in an oven, the LPG
tank must be removed from the car and
later refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although
the LPG system has numerous safety
features, it is advisable to proceed
as follows every time the vehicle is not in
use for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident: unscrew the fastening devices A
fig. 41, then remove the cover B. Close
the LPG cock rotating the ring nut C
clockwise fig. 42; refit the cover and tighten
the fixing devices.28)Periodically (at least once every six
months), it is advisable to let the LPG in the
tank run out and, at the next refuelling,
check that it does not exceed the
maximum capacity of 30.5 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres
excess) (see instructions in the "Capacities"
paragraph). If the level is above 30.5 litres
(reserve included) contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.
29)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without
a visual indication of switching on the
selector. If the level of LPG in the tank is
low or there is a request for high
performance (e.g. overtaking, car fully
laden, steep hills): the system can
automatically switch to petrol operation to
guarantee the required engine
performance; in this event, the performed
switching is shown by the orange (petrol)
LED lit and the green (LPG) LED off on the
switch. When the above conditions stop,
the system automatically restores the LPG
operation; the orange (petrol) LED turns
off and the green (LPG) LED is lit on the
switch. To achieve the automatic switching
described above, make sure that there is
always enough fuel in the petrol tank.
30)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG.
